Already several weeks ago, before the ESL Major Series playoffs at GamesCom in Germany, Pink Zinic was forced to play with a stand in. Later on Irene ‘Irenuka’ Sanchez (download her new wallpaper here), joined the team as a permanent member. As by today, Pink Zinic is forced to replace after Cazzidy yet another founding member of the team as Sofie ‘nisse’ Adolfsson will no longer be a part.

She played together with some of the current Zinic girls for several years and proofed her outstanding skill and aim in top class female teams such as Les Seules, MeetYourMakers and since this year in Pink Zinic. Nisse won some of the biggest titles in the scene such as the ESWC Masters and the ESL Major Series for several times.

We are sad to be no longer able to have one of the strongest female players in Zinic and want to thank her for all the great efforts she did for the team within the last months.

Let’s hear from herself what are the reasons for this step.

Statement Sofie ‘nisse’ Adolfsson:

“I’ve decided to prioritize my real life before CS nowadays, after 6 years of playing this game, including 2 years on a professional level with Les Seules, MYM and Pink Zinic. I won’t be able to play as much as the other girls in the team want to, therefore it’s better for both, me and Zinic that I leave. I have collected a lot of good and also some bad memories with the girls, the trips we’ve done have been awesome, especially ESWC in San Jose and Paris and Roskilde festival this year. I think I will miss it a lot in the long term but anyways won’t be able to compete in a team right now, though keep on playing for fun. Thanks for everyone who supported me over all this time!”

Current lineup Pink Zinic:

Zainab ‘zAAz’ Turkie
Sophie ‘inzane’ Regner
Mayra ‘IpSa’ Perez
Irene ‘iReNuKa’ Sanchez

On the other hand we would like to inform you that this is no reason to panic. Already know we are testing different players and we will announce our completed lineup most likely next week. Pink Zinic will be back - stronger then ever before! Stay tuned on myZinic.com for further information.
