HAVU Counter Strike<\/a> rifler Jani “Aerial” Jussila announced his departure from the lineup and active play on Wednesday due to sleeping difficulties. <\/p>\n

In a statement, Aerial revealed that he was struggling to keep up with the current level of pro CS:GO due to his sleep disorder and would take time off until he recovered. <\/p>\n

“I have decided to move aside from HAVU’s CS:GO roster due to years of sleep problems. I find it impossible to succeed at the moment. The level of professional CS is currently very high, and you can’t keep up there with a few hours of sleep a day,” Aerial said.<\/p>\n

“I’m not actively looking to play in a team before I have solved my sleeping problems. I wish my teammates the best of luck for the future.” <\/p>\n

HAVU also expressed their support for Aerial in the release, thanking him for his contributions and calling the player a “veteran in the green shirt.” <\/p>\n

“Jani [Aerial] has announced that the time has come to put playing competitively on hold for now due sleeping problems,” they wrote. <\/p>\n

“HAVU fully supports his decision and wishes him all the best and we hope that some day he might join to play once again.”<\/p>\n

The player started with HAVU in early 2021 and has been a part of the team for over two years. He was a part of ENCE for two years before the transfer and has remained one of HAVU’s most consistent players over the years. <\/p>\n

Aerial recorded an impressive 1.09 rating over 459 maps during his stint and helped the team lead a remarkable run in the 2022 Elisa Masters Espoo. The event was one of the two international competitions the team participated in. <\/p>\n

Despite Aerial’s efforts, HAVU did not show any significant improvement and failed to qualify for the concluded BLAST.tv Paris Major<\/a> RMRs. They were eliminated from the last chance qualifier following a loss to 500. This led to some roster changes that took Joonas “\u2060doto\u2060” Forss off the team. <\/p>\n

The organization revealed that Olli “sLowi” Pitk\u00e4nen would fill in for Aerial until they reach a more permanent arrangement. <\/p>\n

sLowi was on HAVU for four years, playing as the team’s stand-in from 2018 to 2022. Prior to his return, sLowi played alongside Aleksi “\u2060allu\u2060” Jalli on JANO, recording the second-best rating at 1.04, behind allu’s 1.14.<\/p>\n

HAVU’s current lineup includes sLowi, Sami “\u2060xseveN\u2060” Laasanen, Matias “\u2060Banjo\u2060” Kivist\u00f6, Jussi “\u2060Airax\u2060” Airaksinen, and Otto “\u2060ottoNd\u2060” Sihvo with Mikko “\u2060xartE\u2060” V\u00e4limaa as head coach.<\/p>\n

HAVU will debut their new lineup on May 24 in the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023. The team are set to resume their run in the competition, where they currently boast a 1-1 record.<\/p>\n
