nerdRage round out lineup

18-4-2016 23:45

nerdRage have added a Belgian and a Dutchman to fill out a true pan-European lineup in CS:GO.

The organisation nerdRage attained prominence (and some fair share of notoriety) last year by fielding a heavily online lineup that included the likes of Joel "⁠jOELZ⁠" Aalto and Viliam "⁠villiG⁠" Andrascik with the latter player being dropped due to being caught cheating in a European qualifier for DreamHack Cluj-Napoca.

After moving on to less-tainted fields, such as supporting a team of Danish players including Oliver "⁠minet⁠" Minet, the organisation finally settled on supporting teams in the UK scene and closed out the year.


CRUC1AL reunites with old teammate kajsk1ng on the new nerdRage lineup

After a period of extreme roster instability which included losing their old roster, signing Infused's roster, and then losing 19-year-old Kia "⁠Surreal⁠" Man to Complexity, nerdRage have announced a new finalised roster that stretches across Western Europe and includes players from far and wide.

The roster includes the core of the old Infused lineup in the form of Josh "⁠mole⁠" Rowley and coach Neil "⁠NeiL_M⁠" Murphy in addition to countryman Aaron "⁠AaroN⁠" Hemmings and Dutchman Joey "⁠CRUC1AL⁠" Steusel, who previously played for fm-eSports.

Saturday's announcement meanwhile saw the roster completed with the addition of Belgian Fréderic "⁠Monu⁠" Dewever, who has been inactive on the larger scene for some time, and Dutchman Kaj "⁠kajsk1ng⁠" van Staalduinen, an old teammate of CRUC1AL's and someone who was last seen playing for Playing Ducks.

nerdRage's lineup is therefore:

Netherlands Joey "⁠CRUC1AL⁠" Steusel
United Kingdom Josh "⁠mole⁠" Rowley
United Kingdom Aaron "⁠AaroN⁠" Hemmings
Netherlands Kaj "⁠kajsk1ng⁠" van Staalduinen
Belgium Fréderic "⁠Monu⁠" Dewever

Ireland Neil "⁠NeiL_M⁠" Murphy

General rules state that 50% (3/5) of the players have to have the same nationality as the region they are playing in. So basicly you can have a swede and a fin and still compete on national level. That is why german EPS teams usually had 2 dutch players in the past. Rules: play.eslgaming.com/counterstrike/csgo/cs.. 3.2.2. Team nationality In general, during matches of ESL national sections, at all times in-game a team must have more than 50% of its players that are residing in or have the nationality of the country or countries that the national section represents.

In that same file: 3.10.2 Regional Limitations for Participants Teams must field a majority roster from the regions specified in section 1.6. In the case of League of Legends and Counter­Strike: Global Offensive, teams must always have three players participating within each match from the regions specified in section 1.6. 3.10.4 Residence/Nationality and Number of Players in a Team The team roster can hold a maximum of five players, plus two backup players and any managerial staff as outlined in 1.2. A minimum of three players from the regions specified in section 1.6. must be present. Lees verder dan je neus lang is ;) ESL heeft altijd zo gewerkt.
