PHILIPP joins mystical Lambda

mystical Lambda have added Philipp "PHILIPP" Reitzmann to their Counter-Strike squad.

The German veteran was looking for a new team to represent after parting company with Hardware4u at the end of last season.

Reitzmann has now decided to team up with mystical Lambda, who finished the regular season in fifth place.

This is the second change to mystical Lambda's team in the space of a week, following the signing of Christian "ChRRRRp" Porten.

"Both players were planned for some weeks but we couldn't add PHILIPP officially because there were some problems with his old team," Thanh Vinh "ninja" Bui told HLTV.org

"That's why we only announced ChRRRRp last week. PHILIPP was our first choice, I really wanted him.

"Now I am very happy and proud of our new line-up because in my opinion it is really much stronger than the old one. Hopefully we will get as much support as the last season so we will fight for a finals slot!"

The former a-Losers member will fill the void created by the departure of Filip "RSK68" Filipowski, who has now been handed a backup role in the team.

"He [Filipowski] is a very talented and smart player, but his motivation wasn't that high so he himself decided that he only wanted to be the substitute in our team," Bui added.

"I would love to play with him because he was one of our best players last season and still wasn't at the end of his development but maybe you will see him in year 2010. I hope so."

Thanh Vinh "ninja" Bui
