munkka has announced the addition of Miikka 'dRiim' Toro who will be taking the place of Luukas 'lukee' Paananen within the lineup.

After coming home from the Xperia PLAY tournament after suffering defeats from both

SK Gaming and

fnatic in the second group-stage of the event which led to a premature departure from the tournament, munkka have announced that

Luukas 'lukee' Paananen will be parting ways with the team following conflicts with the team and expecting "better results" at the event.

As a result, munkka have called in

Miikka 'dRiim' Toroi to take his place. Toroi is a star in the Finnish CS scene who played for Crack Clan back in 2009 when the team won the WCG Finnish Qualifier 2009. Furthermore, he played for Playzone.fi in 2010 before leaving the organisation after losing motivation to play professionally.

Tomi 'zabaz' Verkkoperä told HLTV.org:

"We have had some problems in our team, and to keep up the motivation and enthusiasm, we decided to add a well-known and experienced player Miikka 'dRiim' Toroi. We want to thank Luukas 'lukee' Paananen for his time with us and wish him good luck.

He is a really good guy and fun to play with, but we expected better results and that made us think about changing our lineup a little. Miikka brings a lot of experience and knowledge to our team and we hope that we will achieve good results with him."

munkka now have:
