Hi, didn´t see a post here and found nothing with search. (P)elfi is teamless at the moment just after qualified for 4 big lans. Hm, I see he´s already teamless in TLPD, sorry if I missed something...

After stumbling over it at readmore I saw in his fanclub a translated article about him leaving Virus Gaming.
Translated Finnish article http://www.sett.fi/?q=uutinen/elfi-jätti-viruksen-taakseen

One of the best Finnish SC2 players Samuli "elfi" Sihvonen has decided to leave the French MGO Virus Gaming. Everything was looking fine for elfi just a week ago, when elfi qualified for both IEM New York and IEM Guangzhou. For now elfi has not found a new sponsor that would take him to these competitions.

In any case elfi has already secured two foreign tournaments. He will be travelling to the IeSF tournament in Andong early next month as well as the World Cyber Games Global Final in December which is held in Busan.

Comment from elfi:

Lack of communication was the biggest reason I decided to leave Virus. I couldn't get any info about their sponsors even after asking about them several times. The last straw was when I was booking flights to the IEM tournaments. I helped to book the flights myself, but no one from the organization did anything or confirmed that I could go. Right now I don't have any new org in mind, though I've had a few teams to contact me already. We'll see how it goes from here.

elfi will be seen playing offline next time at the IeSF Finals in Andong, South Korea.

Bit shady to not even be able to find out who the sponsors of your team are :s, but good luck to elfi on finding a new team that will send him to these places hes earnt the right to go too.

ToD leaving Millenium and elfi leaving Virus could be the things Carmac was alluding to.

Hopefully he will make it to all his LAN events, if he doesn't get picked up and supported in the meantime.
HOLY CHECK!

Elfi is getting really fucking good now, and has been winning stuff lately, so I doubt he'll have problems finding a new team. GL dude wherever you end up.

ToD and Sase are already teamless. WhiteRa and Grubby are practically on their own. Now elfi is teamless too. Nobody wants to have protosses on their team these days. I am calling for a jobless protoss community center. We need to help them!

btw grubby and WhiteRa earn a lot via sponsers. Plus WhiteRa has said on his stream that he doesn't need a team. he has tons of sponsers and fan who support him.. Same goes with Grubby..

WhiteRa forming a team would be awesome.. :D

No GG no skill!

Virus is pretty sketchy, they recently tried to pull a fast ball on a HoN team's contract. Probably good that this guy left.
