Joona "natu" Leppänen (born May 7, 1985) is a former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike player from Finland. Prior to retiring from competitive gaming, he most recently played for ENCORE/3DMAX as their in-game leader. Since then, he briefly coached Swedish team Ninjas in Pyjamas in 2015. After his swift coaching career with the Swedes, he moved on to other opportunities as a freelance analyst, as well as working for the Finnish organization ENCE eSports in various roles.

Professional career[edit]

One of the most experienced players still involved within the scene, Leppänen has been around since Counter-Strike's inception and has since then played competitively on and off in various teams. He called an end to his fifteen-year career as a player in late April 2015[1], and days later it was announced that he would begin coaching Ninjas in Pyjamas.[2] On August 28th, Ninjas in Pyjamas released him as a coach.
