UKCT - UKCounterTerrorist

With the departure to x6tence yesterday by José Adrián "sioK" Rodríguez and Arturo "n1ce" Balbastre, redCode was down to a three-man roster, which eventually led to the disbandment of the squad, a decision confirmed by the Spanish Redcode management.

The future of the remaining three players, Roberto "mAlIsMo" Malo, Borja "GuMmY" Fernández and Francisco "FamseK" Alarcón, is still unknown, but they are expected to join new projects in the upcoming weeks.

Today the organisation was determined that is time to add a new CounterStrike team that will represent them to the upcoming event GameGune from 20 July that will be hold in Bilbao. The team that will join the redCode organisation for this competition is the well known squad from Belgium defusekids.

The roster of the current defusekids team is the following:

Ivan "Apollo" Wuddhisukhum
Kenneth "ofkeli" Öfkeli
Karel "Bax" Jannes
Yannik "Luce" Bindo
Ferdi "xire" Senel

It will be good to see if the redCode squad can do damage at the Gamegune event with almost every topteam attending. The UK representatives will be dignitas and we at UKCT will be doing coverage.

Good luck!

After a few weeks trialing new players straightsix have announced their brand new roster.

Some old faces return along with some new additions. I caught up with mfig for the lowdown.

Well, what can I say? We lost mewii to drugs and muffin to the ocean on the south coast. Since then we pulled ourselves together and took three new cherubs under our wings. Namely; dzl, raz-, and Necroblob - all skilled gamers who share our common aim!

s6 is:

boL
Ct-R
dzl
mfig
Necroblob
raz

Best of luck!

After the loss of Oscar "RoScO" Parrocel last month Dimension4 have now announced the loss of two more of their players.

Fabrice "ScariuM" Bonnet and Vincent "YanK" Gouty are both leaving the team. YanK had this to say:

After the ESWC qualifier, I took some time to think about my future in CS and in dimension4, I don't want to be in a new team right now, I have other things in life to take care of that are more important than CS, which are taking me a lot if time.

Therefore, I told the d4 staff and both YoRLiN and KaRa that I couldn't be in the next lineup but we are still great friends, we live in the same city and we hang out a lot so there are no problemes between us.

ScariuM doesn't play that much 1.6 anymore, I think he is testing Counter-Strike: Source but I don't know if he will keep that way.

KaRa and YoRLiN are building the new D4 team and I know that KaRa will take great players, no doubt about that.

This means Dimension4 will not be attending GameGune next week and have been quickly replaced by a French mix team called legionnaiR - a combination of four aAa players and YanK.

Dimension4 is left with:

Benjamin "KaRa" Carasco
Julien "YoRLiN" Mailhe

Good luck.

After the loss of Martin "fleks" Wehrmann and Roman "Roman R." Reinhardt to Zykon the management of A-Losers disbanded the remaining lineup.

Today they reveal their new team and it's 360eSports who came fourth in EPS X. However, after the clan lost two players to mousesports earlier in the week they have picked up Christian "ChRRRRp" Porten of Competo.Revoltec fame.

A-Losers is now:

Sinan "bauZka" Cavus
Christian "ChRRRRp" Porten
Burak "coLLy" Dogramaci
Milad "Milad" Zamiri
Philipp "PHILIPP" Reitzmann

Best of luck!
