MYM says goodbye to Konna

Today is a sad day for the Warcraft 3 division of MeetYourMakers as we have to announce that our Finnish orc player, Finland Orc Konna will leave the team based on a mutual decision by both him and the organization.

The 19-year-old player started out his professional gaming career at the end of 2006 when he was acquired into MeetYourMaker's Scandinavian Warcraft 3 team. During this time, Konna showed an awesome performance and managed to secure many important points for his team in various team leagues such as NGL Two or WC3L Qualifier.

With the disbandment of the Scandinavian Division, Konna became part of the International Warcraft 3 team in which he belongs to until now.

We from MeetYourMakers would like to thank Konna for his great performance and the time we had with him.

Here are two statements, one from Konna and one from MYM]Losemann, the assistant team manager of the Warcraft 3 team.

I have been struggling to keep my motivation up for WC3 in the past months. Due to my newly started studies my freetime has decreased and i feel like having almost no chance winning or even putting up a decent performance in any tournament anymore. Also the game is getting really tiring after no patch in a year. So i have decided to quit WarCraft III. I wanna thank Mercy, Army, Losemann, Maestro & MYM.WC3 / MYM for all the support i have been given during my one and half-year stay in the team. cu around.

LosemannGermany MYM|Losemann:

I am sad that Joona will stop playing Warcraft, but I do understand that he will quit Warcraft, because it is taking a lot of time to be one of the world's best. I respect him very much, although he was a whining alot about other races. But I have an open ear for him always. I saw a lot of potential in this orc, for example I travelled to the Kode5 Germany to see him play and to support him. I would have done alot more if I had the time to do so. Good luck in the future and I hope to see the name Konna in some news related to Esports again. See you around!

Good luck Konna. A great person leaves the WC3 today. But studies>WC3 and he is sticks to his decisions. Hope we see of him someday in the future.

Gosugamer article did bug me with the "The departure of Parikka shouldn't have any impact on the MYM roster. With FoCuS, Ciara and Grubby as fellow orc in the team they should be able to bear the loss."

Even if it is true WTF are they come with such a statement.
