b4d sits out ESWC

29-6-2010 01:25

Bastian "b4d" Gaffron will be the Alternate member to sit out, when the team attends ESWC this week.

Alternate on Sunday announced the arrival of the ex-TBH member Kenyon "KenaN" Temmel, who was named Rookie of the Season in the latest German EPS season. When Temmel was confirmed in Alternate, the team housed six players and people started debating who would be the one to let go of the team.

Nobody has departed from Alternate as of now, but a fact is that Bastian "b4d" Gaffron will sit out for ESWC. This means that Temmel will have his official Alternate-debut at ESWC, which will kick off on Thursday.

Alternate will attend ESWC with following:

Germany Jan "mooN" Stolle
Germany Manuel "approx" Zeitz
Germany Roman "Roman R." Reinhardt
Germany Direnc "seraph" Öz
United States Kenyon "KenaN" Temmel

The German team has been drawn into Group D, where they will face mTw, k1ck and eu4ia. You can tune in and check out how Alternate will perform at ESWC, as we will be onsite in Paris to bring you all of the action.

Note that we have removed Bastian "b4d" Gaffron from Alternate in the Dreamteam game, people who have Gaffron in their teams are responsible for selling him.

He wouldn't even be too old if it was football he was playing, and counter-strike doesn't require anything from your body, so your statement is fairly dumb.

He has been a progamer since 2002, do you think he's still motivated? Just look how bad he's playing lately he's like gore

That's got nothing to do with age. Some people lose motivation, some don't. He's not too old.

There's generally a slight reduction between 20 and 30 that's true, but it's not enough to really matter, and it increases again after 30. Besides, there's a lot of players at that age who are doing just fine.
