oXmoze change two

20-10-2009 21:03

oXmoze have confirmed two changes to their Counter-Strike team.

Roster changes at oXmoze had been up in the air for some time, after the French giants lost their number-one status in the country, failing to qualify for the WCG and, more recently, losing to Millenium in the EPS final.

oXmoze have now confirmed that Michael "HaRts" Zanatta and Jeremy "ioRek" Vuillermet have both been shown the exit door as the team felt some changes were needed to improve their game.

"ioRek has decided to give less time to the game because of his school and holiday schedules, so the majority of the players decided to change him and HaRts to give the team a new start," team manager Raphaël "BoZo" Bonstein told HLTV.org.
"The team needed a renewal and they thought it would be better to also remove HaRts."

The two now members on the team are Remi "loduN" Colas and Benjamin "drizzer" Charnet, both of whom played for eSport-Eu last year at the WCG and join from Qwerty.

oXmoze, who have been drawn in Group D at the European Championship, along with the likes of SK Gaming and n!faculty, will have their official debut at Silver Arena LAN later this month, where they will feature the following team:

Mathieu "R!Go-" Bridet
Mathieu "MaT" Leber
Mickael "mSx" Cassisi
Remi "loduN" Colas
Benjamin "drizzer" Charnet

-2 very good players

gooooooooo

At last! HaRts was nowhere near the others skill and IoRek have gone downhill since late 2008 (2bad cause he was awesome when he had time playing). I was hoping for OliGan and MaYeRs but I'm sure this will do, so good luck and hope to you see back on top!

They play for D4 gaming ! dim2k falco MaYeRs OliGan YanK old school line-up !

2009-10-20 21:43

Please, like I didn't know... I just hoped that it would be them joining because they are both excellent players and probably the best in France, alongside mSx, Geno, SixeR and R!Go.

2009-10-20 21:54

HaRts is #1 player at EPS france for 3years...

2009-10-20 23:32

HaRts = best French player ever. Period.

If R!Go and mSx stayed then I have nothing against! this team needed change.

2009-10-20 21:16

drizzer is a great player.

2009-10-20 21:17

The end of Emulate. Harts, nice lead. Iorek, nice awp. Gl

2009-10-20 21:25

millenium players won't leave now

2009-10-21 00:16

Yes i know, it will be very unlikely something this to happen but for example R!go Mat mSx Sixer Maj3r would be a really killer lineup imo

2009-10-21 12:32

that would be good for a mix team, but i don't know what it would be like on long term

2009-10-20 22:07

#caretrain. Ox are shit anyway! -M- no.1 <3 MAJ3R an Six

2009-10-20 21:58

nowadays its popular to change 2 players.. fnatic, sk , mtw , now ex-eml :P

2009-10-20 21:59

I really liked the old GOODGAME team. anyone remembers lineup?

2009-10-20 22:02

MaYeRs, OliGan and dim2k from the current D4 lineup played in GoodGame with latOr and Baldours.

2009-10-20 22:14

not Yorlin ?

2009-10-20 23:14

ye, and Issam too.

2009-10-21 01:22

Emulate.. WCG 2007 <3 Harts, mSx, ioreK, MaT-, R!Go- My dream team. I love you. :'(((((((((

2009-10-20 22:03

gay :D

2009-10-20 22:57

They were good back then, though every player in the world except HaRts has developed. And ioRek hasn't played good since last winter or something.

2009-10-20 23:17

They chose the right players to dismiss, that's for sure, we'll see whether the replacing players are good for oXmoze or not!

Dont forget one thing, HaRts is by far the best ingame leader in france and its why emL had some internationals results.

2009-10-20 23:35

drizzer and lodun are good players, but it makes of mSx the only awper, and who knows if rigo will lead this lu as he led the team france's mix at ENC 2009 i thought the french scene was very poor this year. Actually, it's almost dead... only -M-, EE and D4 remain

2009-10-20 23:42

but it makes of mSx the only awper, I think they never needed more than one awper! I mean there is a lot of strats with 2 awp but it's very risky for the money. it's almost dead true! only Millenium show some level this year(i'm not a fanboy...)

2009-10-21 00:20

in some situations it can be nice to see 2 awps. and what i meant is that msx is such a good riffler that it's a bit sad to see him stuckeed with his awp, when he can play faster with an m4 and do a lot of damage

2009-10-21 11:20

sad ioRek :( . But still we have R!go

2009-10-20 23:52

he will lead, dunno if he will play the same way now

2009-10-21 00:14

Hope yes, I love this team's playstyle.

2009-10-21 00:18

totally agree with this move, loduN is a national player for France.CS for a long time he is really good, ioRek and haRts were kinda washed up, they picked up 2 fresh up and coming talent players, this is the same thing SK did with face/khrystal, sometimes teams have to drop their older players to get a new outlook on the game, very good pickups oXz

2009-10-21 00:29

gotta agree with you there, but wow .. what a trend fnatic started eh? seems like every team which are struggling are or was pointing in their direction and was like: "hey, they are doing briliantly good since they added two new hungry talents on their team, lets do the same!" but yeah, it really seems to work for everyone ... or well, too early to judge about mTw, but fnatic and SK has done it superbly well .. lets hope this team will reach the same height of skies which the swedes has done, cuz it was really about time they made something drastic. i mean, how f-cking long havent these guys stayed together without achieving too much? ^^

2009-10-21 01:18

haven't really kept track of this team as of lately, but the last time i checked, ioRek and HaRts was their absolute key players (together with mSx of course, but tbh i dont think they'd been that successful as they were one period if ioRek and HaRts wouldn't have been in the team, it's easier to remove a madfragger and get a new one in, since they only got one job .. then to take out two key players who keep up the team) ... however this is just how it looks/looked from me, an outsiders view, i might be completely wrong but i dont think i am ;p anyway, drizzer and loduN seems like really talented and solid players. best of luck and god help the french scene, the international scene would've been so much more interesting if 1 or 2 topteams from france could compete with mouz, mtw, vitrolic, sk and fnatic again ... getting bloddy bored of seeing the same teams compete against each other in every tournament (well not really, but u get my point :D)

2009-10-21 01:16

You are right, especially about HaRts. He's the one who made them so successful. I mean, they changed two players, like fnatic, mTw or SK. But they removed their ingame leader, not two riflers. To me, this move seems a lot trickier than the previous ones. I think that they will be a really serious contender in France, but internationally, I'm not that sure. We'll see quickly, during the EM 4 Main Round.

2009-10-21 01:31

kk:) yeah, totally agree with you and as you said: we shall soon find out in Extreme Masters :d

2009-10-21 01:49

Concerning HaRts, it's been a year he wasn't playing CS a lot. The team didn't give him the confidence they gave him in the past. RiGo is the lig since few months from now, and concerning ioRek, he was undermotivated. The fact concerning : yeah, TWO changes would be great is a lil bit different for oXmoze, because these players have been playing together for 3 YEARS ! not 1 year, not 6 months... 3 fucking years... just imagine spending every fucking evening with the same mates during 3 years. What they have done is great, but just look at what they'll do :D You won't regret !

2009-10-21 02:20

Idk how you guys can say ioRek is one of their strongest players, I would easily say he was their least consistant and lowest skilled player if I had to choose one, haRts on the other hand was good, but not as good as he was in 2007 when they won WCG, mSx and MaT are their key players...
