Finnish side Anexis - one of the invites at the Winter Assembly next month - have been forced to make more changes to their lineup, just a month after losing Ville 'VILZU' Valonen and Henri 'heku' Anttalainen.

Late in December the team announced the departure of the long standing duo as they chose to concentrate on life outside of the game. To replace them the team drafted in the highly rated pairing and former Logitech.fi players Samuel "God" Rasanen and Marko "MAKKE" Mattila, two players who have made an instant and noticeable impact on the teams performances. Despite the acquisition of the two highly experienced players the team have still been struggling to perform at a level they are happy with, and it appears that a freak accident is to blame for this.

Rasmus "RASSEJE" Haapanen, in an attempt at overclocking managed to fry his motherboard completely, forcing him to play for the past month on a laptop which seriously hindered his performances. The team felt that it was holding them back and have decided to remove the player from the lineup, and when they discovered that former eXelon star Olli "Jesu" Sarainmaa was interested in joining it seemed like the perfect fit. However, the ex-eXelon man stated that he would only join the team if they picked up his former teammate Janne "zawahiR" Mikkola. It left Anexis in a difficult position but the person to bite the bullet has been Mikko "fAlsu" Fallström, who now finds himself without a team.

Team-manager Stefan 'cros1x' Baarman said the following to Anexis.de:

After God joined the team again, a fresh wind blowing in our CS:S ranks. Unfortunately, the team lost with VILZU and RASSEJE two good players, so they had to change once again. We have heard from many sites that the team could not develop under this circumstances and through the constant changes in it's lineup. Nevertheless, the team has proven to be a really talented and upcoming team. We are looking forward to the year 2012 and the project ahead, watching the team stabilise, build upon their certain potential and hopefully grow to challenge the best at the top table. We believe in the team and each of it's teammates: God, JESU, zwhR, stonde and MAKKE!

Anexis are:

Samuel "God" Rasanen
Tom "stonde" Glad
Marko "MAKKE" Mattila
Olli "JESU" Sarainmaa
Janne "zwhR" Mikkola
