ImageOnline Kingdom have announced that they will also be dropping out of the Intel Challenge Cup 8, leaving paistit their place in the tournament.

FI Online Kingdom is the second team within 24 hours to pull out of the Intel Challenge Super Cup 8, with RU USSR announcing their withdrawing from the event last night due the organisation going through structural changes.

The Finnish team have pulled out of the event due to FI Jirka 'JiGetus' Ryhti still being in a civil service camp, meaning that the team are unable to practice for the tournament. As a result, Online Kingdom will be replaced by FI paistit, a team which consists of FI Kimmo 'BASiC' Fagerholm, a player who has reportedly departed from OK, as well as many other Finnish stars including the Kovanen brothers, FI Samu 'plastE' Aalto and FI Timi 'aslak' Verkkoperä, a player who is fresh from Team Excello.

FI paistit is:

FI Kimmo 'BASiC' Fagerholm
FI Samu 'plastE' Aalto
FI Timi 'aslak' Verkkoperä
FI Tomi 'lurppis' Kovanen
FI Niko 'naSu' Kovanen

paistit will be joining PL Frag eXecutors , RU Moscow Five and UA DTS in Group D of the second group-stage of the ICSC8 with their first match being scheduled for this weekend.
