There have been rumours for quite a few days about the GamePlay lineup and now they made it official, removing Tino "tihOp" Puumala for Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen. This was not intended at first, but the team chose contE over tihOp and they also had to add kookas due to the ESL Pro Series.According to a short interview on GotFrag, it was Juuso 'contE' Sajakoski leaving the team due to his attitude. In the end, Tino 'tihOp' Puumala is now leaving the team with Tomi 'lurppis' Kovanen returning as team captain.
tihOp thinks that the team made this decision to pick contE over him as they are playing with him for a longer time and "he would change his attitude if he didn't have to go." Also, in addition to lurppis returning, GamePlay added Konsta 'kookas' Kaisla to play in the ESL Pro Series Scandinavia until the Christmas break as he was added late and is not allowed to play right now.
GamePlay will attend the Russian tournament of Rekrut.ru after canceling their Dreamhack trip.
