Yeah, that’s right! Our very own Day of Defeat: Source team have been taking a part in ESL’s Major Series Season V. They managed to make it throught of groupstage into the playoffs and in the end, they placed 4th!

On first round of playoffs they faced FirstFrag, who sent our team to lower brackets. There our boys first met team named Satan666 and unfortunately our team lost that match too which ment that our boys took 4th place in this season’s playoffs. But overall, it’s really great placement so congrats for our DoD:S team!

The well-known community website in the scene of Day of Defeat: Source, zeroPoint!, have published results of their community awards. There was total of five categories and our team and one of it’s player has been listed in three categories!

Our Day of Defeat:Source squad has added a new member to their lineup. Since Tatu “taateli” Helander is quitting dod:s after EMS our team was in need of a talented rifle and who would suit better than Mika “crossi” Arttonen. Crossi has experience in such teams as Afterlife and Entropy and will definitely bring something new to our team!

Statement from Joonas “RydeR” Järvinen
“Since taateli will be leaving us after EMS and tepa is starting to play as heavy we  needed a talented rifle and crossi is what we need. He is an experienced guy with lots of motivation and talent. He is the perfect fit for our lineup.”

We shall see what kinda future will follow us after this lineup change, but best of luck to crossi and taateli.
