lurppis misses CPH, dRiim stand

The captain of WinFakt, Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen has withdrawn from Copenhagen Games due to personal reasons. Miikka "dRiim" Toroi will act as his stand-in at the event.

WinFakt is one of the 24 invited teams at Copenhagen Games which is set to take place on April 4-8 in the Danish capital. The team won't be traveling with its usual lineup however, as their in-game leader Kovanen won't be able to attend.

Although no official statement was released by Kovanen himself, he stated personal reasons made it impossible for him to travel to Copenhagen on the dates of the event next week.

His replacement will be Toroi who is best known from his stint in Crack Clan and Power Gaming in 2009 which saw him and Matti "SPIKEONE" Järvinen qualify for World Cyber Games but get replaced by Max "ruuit" Aspe and Samu "plastE" Aalto before the event.

Due to WinFakt's in-game leader being unable to attend, the team will be relying on Kimmo "BASiC" Fagerholm to call the plays. Although normally a fragger, Fagerholm also led his former team Online Kingdom at Xperia Play last year when they took down Lions and mTw.

Aleksi "allu" Jalli
Timi "aslak" Verkkoperä
Kimmo "BASiC" Fagerholm
Miikka "dRiim" Toroi (stand-in)
Hannu "H^N" Pohjalainen

This will only be a temporary change however, as Kovanen is expected to return to the lineup for their next event, whether it's Nordic Masters at the end of April or xfunction Fraglider Cup in May.
