Aleksi "allu" Jalli and Hannu "H^N" Pohjalainen have teamed up with the Finnish team WinFakt, as the team says goodbye to Jirka "jigetus" Ryhti and Niko "naSu" Kovanen.

WinFakt Fi have announced a line-up change just weeks before IEM6 GC Kiev. The team will say farewell to

Jirka 'JiGetus' Ryhti and

Niko 'naSu' Kovanen, as the team was unable to practice fully due to their school and work schedule, the reason behind skipping DreamHack Winter.

Replacing them will be former teammate of Verkkoperä,

Aleski 'allu' Jalli, and Fagerholm’s former teammate from Online Kingdom fi,

Hannu 'H^N' Pohjalainen.

WinFakt has become:

Aleski 'allu' Jalli

Timi 'aslak' Verkkoperä

Kimmo 'BASiC' Fagerholm

Hannu 'H^N' Pohjalainen

Tomi 'lurppis' Kovanen

Team captain

lurppis on the change:

"While you never wish for a lineup change to happen as it's bound to set you back months in terms of experience playing together as a team and team chemistry, I think this change was necessary in the end. Majority of our team's problems were caused due to lack of practice, and now we have the possibility of putting more time in with five motivated players and the chance to bootcamp at SETT's offices regularly before tournaments"

The first time to see the new line-up in action will be at IEM6 Global Challenge Kiev, which starts January 19 and will take place in CyberSport ARENA in
