Vega Squadron:

After almost 1 month without SC2 elfi is back to game stronger then ever! He will start streaming regularly next week!
Yesterday he won Starcraft2.fi 4V. Cup beating mYi.Serral 2-0 and NrS.Welmu 3-0 to take the throne!

Couple of words from elfi:

"Last weeks I've started to play Starcraft again little bit and it feels again pretty good I don't have to force myself to play the game anymore. I had only like 16 days total break from opening Starcraft but already again felt like wanting to win and compete in big tours. So I m officially returning to play for my team Vega. For now I'm aiming to get in good shape for Dreamhack: Valencia and try to repeat my last year top 8 there! Big thanks for my team for their support in my decisions and pekka is best!"

Welcome back Samuli!

There were some poor souls already slipping but I know that our God is merciful and wont punish those mortals. May they rejoice in the glory of Elfi!
