Paju
Smash Journeyman
This was the second edition of HippiEetu's KOSTEURMITTARI tournament series located in Northern Finland in the town of Muhos. Despite being fairly small tournaments for the current Finnish scale, both events have succesfully gathered almost all the best players of Finland and therefore created a lot of hype. Another characteristic feature of KOSTEUSMITTARI series is that both of the events have only included Finnish players. In fact, this was the first tournament in almost one and a half year to only include Finnish players.
After having an almost 7 month long period without any Finnish tournaments, this tournament finally gave a chance for New School players to prove their skills in a tournament that included all the best players of Finland (NamiNami excluded, who sadly couldn't attend due to his army service). Despite already getting very good results from different smashfests and out of country tournaments, this tournament was the opportunity they had waited for a long time.

Various facts
- New School makes it's breakthrough. Paju and Mayhem conquer top 2, leaving the currently #1 ranked player of Finland, Peki, to fifth place. Salevits also makes it to top 8, destroying Samochan 3-0 on his journey and both Novi and Jaxi make it to top 12 getting some impressive wins.
- Mayhem makes a rollercoaster ride in Singles, almost ends up winning the whole tournament despite getting only 3rd place in Pools and losing his first set in bracket 2-3 to Peki.
- Surprises everywhere! In addition to the above-mentioned surprises, only a few of the surprises this tournament had to offer were saska, RTpmwe, kalzu and Über not making it to the bracket and Loota/Laatikko getting the first seed in pools and then getting last in the bracket.
- Peki and Nipi's over three year long winning streak in doubles is finally gone. Mayhem and MasterTK are the new reigning champions winning both Winners' and Grand Finals 3-1.
