syNergy announce team

syNergy have formally introduced their Counter-Strike team with the acquisition of five veterans from the Benelux.

The Dutch-based team is composed of four ex-players from CyberNetsOnline, who attended the World Cyber Games event in 2007, plus Belgian veteran Decio "DeKMaTcHeR" Pinto, a former member of LowLandLions.

Although three of the team's members have been inactive for some time, Pinto is confident they will soon rediscover their form and help syNergy reach the top of the Benelux scene.

"With the upcoming big events, the former CNO players felt the hunger for CS like never before, a stable team was what I was looking for for a while and I have found it here," he told HLTV.org.

"It won't take them much time to get back to their level again, that will not be a problem."

syNergy plan on attending DreamHack Summer's BYOC tournament, as well as GameGune, with the following quintet:

Portugal Decio "DeKMaTcHeR" Pinto
Netherlands Ferdi "Ferrid" van Leeuwen
Netherlands Dave "Roachz" van Doorn
Netherlands Jody "Skire" van 't Hul
Netherlands Bart "triks" van den Boomen

I thought you had to be born in a country to play for it in World Cup? Otherwise not illegible, unless I got it wrong.

no, totally wrong.. if u get the citizenship and havent played for another country before, u can play.. for example, higuain, real madrid's striker, born in france, but he is going to play in the world cup for argentina.. :)

" Portugal vs Estonia Cristiano Ronaldo and Simao missed the due to injuries. Deco didnt play because of the Coach. Estonia vs Portugal 0:0 10/6/09 International Friendly Highlights " have u at least read the description?? cmon men, dont compare us to ur crappy national team.. 2004 - 2nd place in the european cup, 2006 world cup - 4th place, 2008 european cup - quarter-finals vs germany again, so if want to compare national teams, at least pick great teams, cause estonia aint one, and never will

Football is not the most popular sport in Estonia.. I won't compare our results in olympics, because it's just pointless.. Who gives a shit about who played and who didn't, it's our fault that your Cristina Ronaldo get broken so easily?

dude cmon, was any of those guys ever BEST FOOTBALL IN THE WORLD?? let answer it for u : NO..zlatan ibrahimovic is much better than any portuguese player ever and plays in barca are u nuts?? AHAHAH sure zlatan is good, but look of what he's doing in Barça, 0, nothing, eto'o would score 10x more goals than him.. and NO, NO ONE (except messi), is better than ronaldo, i know it, u know it, everybody knows it... Real madrid payd 93 MILLIONS OF EUROS for ronaldo, that has got to tell u something.. just admit dude cmon, Sweden isnt going to South Africa, just like Russian, just like Finland, etc, and portugal managed to eliminate Bosnia in the play-off, perhaps the best team from that side of europe, so, admit we are better, thats all..

He's living there for 5-6 years, of course he is. That doesn't change the situation. He is Bosnian. Deci for example is Portuguese born but plays for Belgian national team, so he's naturalized Belgian . It's not the same :P
