speedi returns in Hardwire

19-12-2009 17:12

Former icsu and NoA talent Michel "speedi" Gewargis has decided to return to activity in Team Hardwire.

The Swedish ace has been out of action since the disbandment of Check-Six in 2006, having been seen for the last time at the Inferno-Online League 2008, where he played for Teamsvart.

Gewargis has now decided to reverse his retirement decision and return to competitive play after joining Team Hardwire with four other players, all relatives of his.

Despite the inexperience of some of the players on the team, Joel "emilio" Mako is confident his side have the necessary quality to impress in the future.

"At the beginning we just played for fun because none of us had played CS actively for like a year or so, then we started to play and we realised that we still could kill, so we decided to create a team to play more seriously," Mako told HLTV.org.
"We got a good team, and I believe in us, so I really think with some practice we can beat big teams."

The team's first event will be Rendezvous in Skövde next weekend, after which they are planning to compete in the IOL Finals in March.

Team Hardwire have now:

Michel "speedi" Gewargis
Joel "emilio" Mako
Shabi "sHABI" Gewargis
Shabi "shabidude" Betyo
George "gneggi" Slivo

wow

Nice to see oldschool player's comming back :)

2009-12-19 18:39

oh please, speedi won't take this too seriously, he has been playing like this (with the same players) for a year or so .. he's not coming back, he's just enjoying himself basically. maybe you should get a comment from speedi before putting a topic like that. sure he may be returning, but until i've heard from the man himself, i'm not going to believe it.

2009-12-19 18:48

Good player, remember when he led ICSU at Nolevella they were like the biggest underdogs ever beating NoA and EYEballers an such, good player on a shitty team

2009-12-19 20:23

I bet they are happy for this peace of news they get, they have been on like 5 lans with this lineup (-gneggi +eksem, actually) and haven't done any damage, at all.

2009-12-19 20:21

2009-12-20 04:21

wow! i saw him in movies only :D

2009-12-19 21:06

I still wonder why teams keeps on playing under the HW tag?

2009-12-19 21:25

Because they send them to LANs for free and stuff.

Sorry to say, but thats not true :) - it should be the first time then.. Try ask the CSS team, Adastra how much they promised them, and again - how much they actually got?

2009-12-26 14:45

It IS true.

2009-12-26 14:47

I don't think that speedi will take this game seriously anymore like he did back then with NoA & icsu. They will not go that far in my opinion, but good luck anyway, let's hope I'm wrong.
