aNimus Gaming , Finland's second best team, have removed Matti 'SPIKEONE' Järvinen from their lineup and replaced him with Miikka 'dRiim' Toroi. The team, which was only reformed in September, are also apparently seeking a new organisation, carrying the aNimus name only until they can find a new deal due to their sponsorship for digifest Fall being a one-time only situation.



aNimus most recently made a splash by threatening WinFakt, Finland's best team, with elimination in the final of digifest Fall 2011. The underdogs won the first two maps of the final but lost the last three of the Bo5 to see the title go to the favourites.

dRiim is best known for his time in Crack Clan in 2009 where he helped a team of naSu, natu, tihOp and SPIKEONE, the man he is replacing, defeat favourites astralis, who featured ruuit, contE and plastE, in the final of the Finnish WCG qualifier. Sadly for dRiim and SPIKEONE they found themselves removed before the WCG Grand Final in China in favour of ruuit and plastE. After that dRiim played alongside WinFakt members BASiC and JiGetus in PlayZone.fi for a while in 2010. Earlier in 2011 allu, zabaz and dRiim played along with WinFakt AWPer aslak in munkka.

SPIKEONE is primarily known for his time in Soltec/logitech.fi/CMAX.gg when those teams were the second best in Finland and occasionally providing upsets internationally. A 4th place finish at GameGune 2007, the most stacked year in history for that event, proved to be a high point as SPIKEONE's Logitech.fi overcame losing to PGS in the first round of the upper bracket to make a lower bracket run, beating the very same Polish team along with Roccat and Begrip.

SPIKEONE briefly reunited with Crack Clan leader natu and played alongside aslak in Soltec in early 2010, but the clan died off quickly. He also played with JiGetus and BASiC in PlayZone in 2010. He also reformed aNimus in September of this year.
