Joona 'natu' Leppänen

A veteran of close to a decade of competitive CS natu's accomplishments span a number of years and teams. In 2001 he won a Bronze medal at the WCG with All-Stars. In 2004 he took D-Skyline to a 4th place finish at CPL Summer 2004. In 2006 4kings achieved their highest ever CPL placing with him in the lineup, getting 4th at WSVG ISC.

In 2007 natu joined up with 69N-28E and took helped turn the consistent 3rd-4th placing team into winners as they won NGL-One and WSVG Louisville. After semi-retirement he came back in 2009 to lead Crack-Clan to a victory over Astralis at the WCG Finland qualifier. At the Grand Finals in China, renamed as PowerGaming, they managed to take Gold medalists AGAiN to three maps before losing 14:16 on the last.

Now he has revived the PowerGaming name in Counter-Strike by reforming that WCG lineup as his four team-mates return from their military service. They will be in action at the WCG Nordic qualifier next month.
