ImagePower Gaming have announced changes to their lineup, seeing the departure of Kimmo 'BASiC' Fagerholm and Niko 'naSu' Kovanen.

Finnish Counter-Strike team Power Gaming have announced they will be reshuffling their lineup for the 2011 season. The changes sees long term member Niko 'naSu' Kovanen and Kimmo 'BASiC' Fagerholm departing the team.

Niko 'naSu' Kovanen has been apart of the PG lineup ever since the organisation picked up Crack Clan in 2009, but his stint in the team will come to an end as he plans to focus more on his personal life. As for Kimmo 'BASiC' Fagerholm, who joined back in September, he has been removed from the team as team leader Joona 'natu' Leppänen believes the side are not working well enough as a unit.

Statement from Joona 'natu' Leppänen to PowerGaming.com:

"I would like to thank both Niko and Kimmo for their contribution throughout their time with the team. Niko has been with me making this team ever since we first started as r00tz back in April of 2009. He has for quite a while now felt unmotivated and grown tired of spending all the necessary hours playing the game and decided it´s time to concentrate on other things in life. In Kimmo´s case he came into the team and did what we expected from him, but unfortunately we were unable to work well enough as a unit in many aspects - which lead into a situation where we didn´t see things working out in the future. I´d like to take the opportunity to wish both of them the best of luck! We´ll be back stronger than ever for 2011."

There has been no indication made as to who will fill the two available positions, but links have been made between the team and former Evil Geniuses tactician Tomi 'lurppis' Kovanen, who is looking to move back to his home nation.

Power Gaming are left with:

FI Samu 'plastE' Aalto
FI Tino 'tihOp' Puumala
FI Joona 'natu' Leppänen
