With the new year just turned in, we at Sypher get the ball rolling with our new project starting today, called: 4SYPHER!  Our main goal with this project is to give teams and individual players a chance to reach the next level in eSports that can seem so difficult to achieve.



While for every new team having high ambitions all starts with finding a good name, training a lot and in some cases they work out a small “organisation” themself by finding a sponsor for servers and other necessities.

The ultimate goal for these teams and players is to get picked up by a prestigious organisation, so that they can be taken serious by the professional eSports world and achieve things they set out to do from the start.

As an example of, our WC3 Player kopitz was rather unknown before he approached us. Soon after joining us we made him aware of this qualifier belgium held for WC3 where the winners (and he qualified) would get the chance to represent their nation on the iESF Challenge in Korea. Besides the great eSports experience he got there, he also gained the respect from the community which gave him a boost that noone could of imagined!  He even featured in an hour long  national radio interview in Belgium and other local Media channels during his stay in Korea!

That’s what sypher wants to offer to everyone which we feel deserves it.  Players who have a professional attitude can get far, they just need a little push!  Within 4SYPHER (4SR) we want to be that force behind them….

FAP -> 4SR: Introduction

Kicking off as our  first 4SYPHER team is the finnish COD4 team: FAP (known as f*kin angry policemen).
A team that exists of  good friends that have been playing together now for quite some time.  One of the key members making this possible is FEKUJ.  He has been one of Sypher’s true fans for the past year, which has resulted in him becoming close friends with many people in the organisation.  There’s no other team around that better fits the purpose of the new 4SYPHER project .

Antti “ruohiz” Ruohomäki
Valtteri “Fekuj” Immonen
Teemu “kez” Kettunen
Olli “kusti” Oikari
Joni “sarinerAr” Laakso

A word from the whole FAP team:

After months of on/off gaming and hiding behind fake names we, FAP, have finally decided to reveal ourselves to the public supported by team Sypher.

Like any Finnish team, there’s a time when the Finnish military service takes away some of your teammates, and so happened to us, taking away two key players and leaving the line-up not complete.
So after nearly 3 months of searching for that special one to fill in the missing link in our line-up, we found an old friend of ours known for his dominating aim in DoD:Source, Antti “ruohiz” Ruohomäki, who fits in perfectly with our funky posse that will be showing up at the CIC7 as prepared as possible and hoping to do well.

We’re all glad to bring this bunch of five together not only as teammates but friends as well, and as the Spice Girls used to say friendship never ends (we just wanna zigazig ah).

We’re also happy to announce Sypher taking us under their wing and becoming our official supporter, thank you and we hope to do well on the battlefield.

Some words of the sypher management

For 2010 we have a lot planned and this is just a warm-up of several other projects. People will get to see a whole new sypher. With a new website release scheduled for this spring, a full rebrand is prepared welcoming new partners, game divisions and side-projects. We want to celebrate our 10th anniversary with style and everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy from this.

By welcoming the finnish COD team of FAP we feel like having some new family here and that’s something we luckily always had with our players. 4SYPHER.COD ’s first public appearance will be the Crossfire LAN held in March. We wish FAP the best of luck and we’ll be helping them out as much as we can!
