n!faculty snare ninja for EM EU finals

Fragster.de understands that Vinh "ninja" Bui Thanh has left mystical Lambda, in order to play the Extreme Masters European Championship with n!faculty.

mystical Lambda was not able to secure further participation in the European Championship for Extreme Masters, as they only managed a fourth place in the group stage. It now seems like one mystical Lambda member, or former member, will be attending the European Championship Finals.

Vinh "ninja" Bui Thanh just hours ago left the mystical Lambda ESL account and fragster.de now understands he will play the European Championship with n!facilty. Bui might have left the mystical Lambda ESL account just due to rules, as ESL does not allow a player to be in more than one team at the time. Despite leaving one account, Bui is still to join the n!faculty ESL account.


Tóth to be the one to miss European Championship Finals?

Who Bui will fill the void of, is still unknown, but a good candidate could be the 2008 n!faculty MVP Jérôme "shiddy" Tóth. Tóth has ever since this year's German ESL Pro Series finals been linked with a possible retirement, has he played his last Extreme Masters match with n!faculty?

Whether n!faculty plans to keep Thanh after the European Championship Finals is also unknown, Bui could return to the mystical Lambda account, once he finished serving for n!faculty next weekend. The German squad secured their spot to the final stages, by receiving a default win, in the relegation rematch against Power Gaming, which was due to be played yesterday.

His name is Vinh, not Vihn, Nix! And if you want to use his surname in your article, just use Bui because Thanh is nothing but a middle name.

in Vietnamese , it's better to call the name and surname then to call the last name (in this case , Thanh Vinh) , due to that the last name is too common there :D but anyways , great communication from the admins !!!

They mention mystical Lambda in the article, and they mention him leaving their ESL account, but I'm sure he hasn't played for them! Oh wait, he has..

Ridiculous lol. They enforce the net_graph rule but keep letting n! use players that had already played and lost in the tournament. I guess I just hate german teams now. PG! > n!

shiddy announced his retirement during the eps finals. so you want n! to play with a mangager? + the rules state that you can't switch the players during a tournament stage. the last stage was group stage-->relegation-->finals so everything is ok
