ASUS ROG Nordic teams update

A few more team changes have taken place ahead of ASUS ROG's $10,000 Nordic Challenge in Helsinki, Finland this weekend.

The teams list (along with lineups) for the $10,000 ASUS ROG Nordic Challenge taking place in Helsinki, Finland on the weekend of October 30-November 1 was announced earlier this month.

Since then, a few teams have confirmed being unable to attend as well as a few lineups shuffling their rosters up for the event. In particular the Turkish Space Soldiers team have been replaced by the Finns of SkitLite whereas DenDD have been replaced by Publiclir.se.

Lasse "⁠ZOREE⁠" Uronen	Jimi "⁠pnarek⁠" Nieminen
Sami "⁠xseveN⁠" Laasanen	Kasperi "⁠qiini⁠" Leppanen

Easily the most interesting switch-up of players involves the Nostalgie lineup (now going under HS.GG) which has swapped out a number of former and current HellRaisers players for Danes k0nfig and JUGi alongside Finn wayLander, who stepped down from competitive play in June to complete his military service.

The Nordic Challenge will go live at the DigiExpo in Helsinki, Finland on October 30th. The event will be covered by an English off-site stream via NiPgamingTV as well as on-site in Finnish by Teemu “wabbit” Hiilinen and Juha “aNGeldusT” Kurppa.
