n!faculty sign ninja

n!faculty have completed their line-up for the forthcoming EPS with the addition of Thanh Vinh "ninja" Bui from mystical Lambda.

The German played has opted for a permanent switch to n!faculty after representing the team at the Extreme Masters Europe Finals as a stand-in.

"Ninja is a strong player with a great tactical understanding," team manager Daniel "chillkroete" Schöneck told HLTV.org. "He is able to assist chrizzo in the ingame leader role, which is why it was very important for us to add him.

"He will be our second brain in this team. He was one of the main reasons for the big success of mystical lambda in the past."

Earlier mystical Lambda announced Bui would remain in the team despite reports linking him with a switch to n!faculty, but he has now chosen to depart the team he joined in mid-2008.

This marks the second roster loss for mystical Lambda, who placed third last EPS, after the team announced that Dominic "Roark" Cucic has decided to leave as well.

Schöneck is confident that the addition of Bui will push the team forward, adding, "The primary goal is to reach the EPS Finals and to play in the overall final. We want to compete for the title. We also want to take part at some international events to get more experience on these tournaments."

Bui's arrival at n!faculty is the second roster change to the core line-up for the German giants, following the addition of Team Alternate's veteran Benjamin "paN" von Mulert.

Meanwhile, n!faculty have announced that Turkish star Yasin "y4sin" Kovanci has joined the team as their sixth player, leaving them with:

Christoph "chrizzo" Krämer
Max "ODIE" Knappe
Franz "gore" Burghardt
Benjamin "paN" von Mulert
Thanh Vinh "ninja" Bui
