ELITE KLAN HAVE ANNOUNCED THE SIGNING OF TEAM VIOLET, A FEMALE COUNTER STRIKE TEAM.
Founded in early 2024, some of Violet’s goals include qualifying for the next season of ESL Impact, progressing as a team, and providing both opportunity and stability for the players to learn and grow in a very turbulent scene.
Most recently, the team was just two rounds away from qualifying for last season’s ESL Impact and are currently the #15 rated female team in Europe.
The Team Violet roster includes:
Jodie “Jodiee” Billington
Réka “kim.” Luca
Silja “Siljeeeh” Heinonen
Emma “Emma” Äijö
Emma “piku” Lampila

Leading the team is British player “Jodiee”, who is IGL and Captain. Although not having very much experience, she has shown great promise as a leader, putting in hours both in and out of the game. Her efforts have improved the performance of the team as well as her ability to IGL. “Jodiee” is also a solid impact fragger and will turn rounds on its head.
Next up is “kim.”, who is the AWPer for the team. The Hungarian player is often overlooked and underestimated in the scene, but is a great player, very motivated and not afraid to speak up. She contributes with game winning performances as well as to the hard working culture of the team.
“Siljeeeh” is one of the main pillars of Team Violet, having some of the best experience on the roster. She is a reigning Nordic Champion by having represented the Finnish National Team in the past, which adds valuable experience to the team. Besides for contributing to the atmosphere and culture of the roster, “Siljeeeh” is also a player who will win crucial rounds, either by a clutch or a couple of deagles!
“Emma” is the best supportive player that any team could ask for. Even though she hasn’t played for as long as the other players, the Finnish player is fearless and her utility knowledge is second to none. Despite playing difficult roles within the team, she is capable of massive performances when the team needs it. Don’t underestimate her!
Rounding out the roster is 17-year-old “piku”. Even though she’s the youngest on the team, she is the star of the show, capable of pulling off insane feats on the server. The Finnish player is extremely talented, but at the same time, she is very humble and hungry for success.
The short term plans for the team are to play in the upcoming ESEA season, compete in any female tournaments, and to provide entertaining content for the fans and followers.
Elite Klan shares these plans and the above-mentioned goals of Team Violet and are confident that we can fulfill these aspirations and be successful together. Additionally, Elite Klan will also invest content and exposure to the female scene.
“kim.” said “The atmosphere here feels nice, I really believe in the project”
“Mupplo”, the Coach of Team Violet, said “Super happy to join forces with Elite Klan, walle beyond being a nice guy is such a positive force in esports with his strong morals and innovative ideas. From the first day we discussed this with him we all believed in the project and we are happy to be a part of this journey!”
Dennis “walle” Wallenberg, founder and CEO of Elite Klan, said about the signing
“We are stoked to welcome Violet into Elite Klan. This decision is based on the awesome individuals within Violet. We look forward to supporting Violet and the broader female gaming community by providing our expertise, resources, and increasing exposure and content for the female scene overall. These individuals work hard, and we need to work harder for equality within the scene, giving them the opportunities they deserve. We are committed to doing our part in this effort.”
