LDLC acquire mistou, xms

LDLC have completed the acquisition of former Millenium players Valentin "mistou" Balbastro and Alexandre "xms" Forté, who replaced Charbel "bouLy" Naoum and Matthieu "matHEND" Roquigny.

Two days ago Millenium announced the release of Valentin "⁠mistou⁠" Balbastro and Alexandre "⁠xms⁠" Forté, who were then strongly linked to join up with LDLC.

Earlier today the organization beind Kévin "⁠Ex6TenZ⁠" Droolans and company confirmed the acquisition of the two aforementioned players, as Matthieu "⁠matHEND⁠" Roquigny and Charbel "⁠BouLy⁠" Naoum depart from the squad.


mistou and xms join up with LDLC's trio

While the former decided to take a break from competing after a loss of motivation, the latter was relieved of his duties due to a lack of improvement, the announcement says.

After creating the roster in April, LDLC went on to gather multiple disappointing results, such as group stage exits in Operation: Kinguin #3 and Hitbox Challenger Cup #2, and failed to pass numerous qualifiers.

"After a year of service for LDLC I took the decision to step back from the team and the competition. I already have been deceived by the end of the Whites, but I thought that with this new line-up I could step up again." Roquigny said in a statement.

"Unfortunately it was not the case, my loss of motivation aggravated to the point that I quit this place with a salary at LDLC. I do not regret this project, because I will keep good memories with them, and I learned a lot on a tactical plan beside Kévin, and I think it will beneficiate to me later."

LDLC will from now on feature the following five:

Belgium Kévin "⁠Ex6TenZ⁠" Droolans
Belgium Antoine "⁠to1nou⁠" Pirard
United Kingdom Alex "⁠ALEX⁠" McMeekin
France Valentin "⁠mistou⁠" Balbastro
France Alexandre "⁠xms⁠" Forté

bouly played bad, but matHEND was pretty decent comparing to the others. xms looks like a good replacement, but mistou? Are you kidding me? Look at his stats, he suxx! Kick him and find some better one or just split up and move to the USA.
