The ESL Pro Series Scandinavia should be resumed after the Christmas break, but no match will be played today due to HaHa being removed from the running ESL Pro Series Scandinavia. The team did not have premium for the whole duration of the tournament so far, did not announce a new fifth player and will most likely not even continue playing.

The first season of the ESL Pro Series Scandinavia already sees the second team dropping due to too many penalty points. After the Christmas break during late December 2008 and January 2009, teams had the chance to add a new player being allowed to play after the break.

HaHa did not manage to do so and also did not have premium status for their players for the past weeks which leads to too many penalty points and the removal from the team of the running competition.

Earlier they lost their captain Tomi 'lurppis' Kovanen joining back to GamePlay but finishing his last matches for team HaHa. Also it is likely that HaHa won't even continue playing together so they completely disband for now.

Only a few months ago CBTeam got removed due to too many penalty points for missing premium status, missing aequitas, missing statement and playing with an ineligible player. Also AWTR might end up being removed as they just lost two players to the new Volt Gaming team and are not responding to match tickets at all for scheduling matches.

HAHA roster:

Ilkka 'barrack' Mäkinen
Janne 'Kuppi' Kuparinen
Antti 'Shiri' Mäkinen
Toni 'toNppa' Luhtapuro
