Not the most surprising no-show, but surely one who stings the most. The Finnish Night Elf superstar is not going to Germany.
Finland made their way to the playoffs much thanks to their star player Satiini, who had a clear win streak in the qualifier. Finland started from zero, and along the way Satiini and the rest of the Finnish players did not really face top notch material. But once in the regular season it turned to be a bit tougher, but Satiini still ended with a 4-2 (9-5) score, losing only to SaSe and ToD.
Though due to Satiini's condition, having trouble with traveling, the Finnish Night Elf player has failed to enter an offline final of an event. This time is no different, as his countryman Konna confirms that Satiini will not be playing at the European Nations Cup.
Though the four-man lineup of Finland looks promising still, with elfittaja, Konna Sein and Bringer. Maybe not enough to win the cup. Sweden looks like the stronger team, so Finland will most likely enter the Loser Bracket in the first round. There, Germany or Bulgaria will wait.
