We regret to announce the closure of Northwave Gaming Association. After two years of winning, losing and struggling, the decision did not come easy but seems like the only wise thing to do. The decision is based on lack of motivation, time and money from the management.

Statement by Martin “Tjet” Bergman, nwave head manager

“This should be my final statement working with nwave. I have been running this organisation, more or less by myself, since the summer of 2008. With the lack of sponsons and money, motivation starts to tear me down, and if I’m not motivated, I’m not doing a very good job. At the same time I find myself having less and less time over to spend on eSport and my teams.

I would personally want to thank ALL teams, both past and present, who represented us in some way. It’s been a fun ride, but everything has and end. A special shout out to our TF2 team who have been part of nwave for 10 long successful months. It was very fun to get to know you and I will follow your progress in the scene.

I will personally retire from gaming management but will remain interested in eSport and the gaming scenes.

Well met!
Tjet”

With that said, we would like to thank everyone who worked, believed and supported our organisation over the years, and best of luck to our leaving teams. A final shout out to n1ping.com gameservers who been our sponsor for a good long time. Without their support we would have come nowhere.

As the title says – we are without a Counter-Strike: Source team, since our finnish team decided to move on to another organisation. Under our flag, the team managed to claim a third place at the local LanTrek LAN in Finland earlier this year. We’d like to wish the team good luck in their new organisation, and hope they get the support they believe they deserve.

nwave.CSS was

Miska “PIKSELI“ Jokikokko
Arttu “ADELAIS” Nikkilä
Henri “Hene” Mattanen
Eetu “ZMep” Eskelin
Eetu “Ese” Palmroos

If or when we will support CSS again in the future is not yet decided.

Our finnish Counter-Strike: Source team have let to announce a line-up change. Janne “haBu” Kinnunen will be moving out to army duty soon, hence the team needed to fill his shoes. Taking his places does Eetu “Ese” Palmroos, last seen in Team GameFrame.

At the moment nwave.CSS is participating in ESL: EMS VI Finnish Qualifier, playing against BOOGIE? tonight. We’d like to wish Ese and the team good luck in the upcoming future.

On this upcoming sunday, 28th, we give you tons of gaming action. Three of our teams will be heading out to the servers in order to claim valuable points in various leagues.

nwave.TF2 will be taking on the swedish/norwegian team Broder in ETF2L Division 2A. With the recent line-up changes, nwave are sure to put up a great defence towards Broders attacks. It will surley be an exciting match, so make sure you don’t miss out on the action. An STV will be provided.

In Esports Heaven: Western Digital Challenge nwave.CSS will be playing another game. After two matches won, they are up against the european team HYPNOTIQ in round 3. If they manage to win the game, they will directly after play versus either danish PENTIA or italian OX.Enermax. We will try to put up a Source TV server for you.

The very same night, our newly acquired Battlefield Bad Company 2 team will make their first appearance. The tournament is hosted by ESL, named Squad Rush Opening Cup (4v4). Over 200 teams will fight for the glory in this very first BC2 cup.

Good luck to all our teams!
