Nihilum sign desi

3-7-2015 01:42

Nihilum Gaming have completed their CS:GO lineup with the addition of former iBUYPOWER member Derek "desi" Branchen.

Nihilum had been in the market for a new fifth player since parting ways with Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta, a move that sought to end a run of poor form that saw the team slip up in several online tournaments.

Derek "⁠desi⁠" Branchen, who was a free agent after being released by eLevate, performed well during a brief spell as a substitute for Nihilum, which prompted the team to tie him down to a permanent deal.

desi signs for Nihilum

The former iBUYPOWER member will have a baptism of fire with his new team as his first event will be the North American offline qualifier for ESL One Cologne, which will see the two finalists qualify for the upcoming major.

"I am proud to say that I am a new addition to the Nihilum team," Branchen told HLTV.org.

"I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity that Nihilum has given me, and hope to represent them well in online/offline events, starting with the ESL Offline Qualifiers early next month."

Nihilum now have the following lineup:

Soham "⁠valens⁠" Chowdhury
Joshua "⁠sancz⁠" Ballenger
Kory "⁠SEMPHIS⁠" Friesen
Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin
Derek "⁠desi⁠" Branchen

Cool. Doubt it will help them much.

If you followed the scene closely when they were together, sancz, professor chaos, valens, flowsick, and autimatic.... they came back into the season with a new name, nihilum. After they came back as nihilum, they were taking down almost all of the na teams.

Get rid of Valens and it would be a decent roster.

i thought they wanted a support player but they pick up a pugstar

"Nihilum had been in the market for a new fifth player since parting ways with Timothy "autimatic" Ta, a move that sought to end a run of poor form that saw the team slip up in several online tournaments." tim left nihilum because of hiko, they didnt cut him, he left.
