3DMAX bring in nooky

3DMAX have announced the addition of Andre "nooky" Utesch to their CS:GO division.

The former /10/ team were last month given a major boost as they were picked up by France-based organization 3DMAX after several months on the lookout for a home.

However, the first few weeks under 3DMAX have been somewhat disappointing, and the team have recently suffered some heavy defeats (7-16 against fnatic, 1-16 against Natus Vincere and 3-16 against VeryGames).

3DMAX have now revealed that Simon "smn" Beck has decided to step down from the active lineup, being replaced by WildFire’s Andre "nooky" Utesch, who had recently been linked with a new ROCCAT team.

“Sadly, I have to announce that Simon is leaving the team,” Hendrik 'strux1' Goetzendorff told 99damage.de “Something has changed in his life, so he no longer has the time to play this game actively.

“It is always a shame to lose a strong player and a good friend. We will always keep the door open to him in the future.

“In the last few weeks we had a lot of problems, but we could not have found a better player than nooky.”

3DMAX’s next LAN event will be the Evercore LAN in Leverkusen at the end of month, which will play host to the German ESWC qualifier.

With these changes, 3DMAX now have:

Dimitrios "stavros" Smoilis
Hendrik "strux1" Goetzendorff
Azmican "asmo" Berberoglu
Michele "zonixx" Köhler
Andre "nooky" Utesch
