b4d leaves Alternate

6-8-2010 00:11

Bastian "b4d" Gaffron has broken bonds with Alternate, supposedly due to being benched as sixth member.

Alternate in late June signed Kenyon "KenaN" Temmel, coming from a stunning season in TBH. This made Alternate house sixth members and ahead of ESWC 2010, the team decided to bench Bastian "b4d" Gaffron.

Reports indicate that the plans were to let Gaffron stay in the team as a backup player, but apparently Gaffron did not like the decision. On the Alternate ESL profile, Gaffron is listed as kicked, but what HLTV.org has learned, Gaffron left on his own.

Alternate consist of the following:

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

Gaffron will in the upcoming season be playing in the German ESL Amateur Series, representing team COREPLAY. The team doesn't really list any known players and could very well turn out to be a temporary stay for Gaffron, should he mid-season receive any offers for teams participating in ESL Pro Series.

bad :/

Please don't say stupid things... It's very sad what happened to Cyx, he was a very great player, but you have to move on (By that i don't mean forget about him). b4d is a great player and i don't think he can replace Cyx but he definitly deserves the chance.

2010-08-06 03:18

hell no, blizzard is 10x mroe deserving of that chance, if he is willing to put in the hours. look at his performance @ gamegune, despite not having pracced nearly as much as the others

2010-08-06 11:43

How old is Blizzard? I think it's not a long-term plan :(

2010-08-06 12:47

there you have a good point I believe he is over 25 try seezung! or trx

2010-08-06 15:30

2010-08-06 06:41

2010-08-06 11:44

oh I forgot, you're right !

2010-08-06 04:08

2010-08-06 00:37

b4d to mouz instead of cyx 100%... he is good awper and nice rifler.. would be a nice choice..

atm he is playing in the amature series and blizz is playing for mouz

but as i heard, blizzard can not play for mouz as permanent player, cuz hes busy or something... But as it is said probably this is a temporary stay for b4d...

2010-08-06 11:55

b4d go to mouz/n! pls :(

2010-08-06 00:16

b4d was a great awp player , i don't which guy from ALTERNATE aTTaX will awp now , but KenaN is a good rifle guy , so it's a lose and win situation in my opinion. So i guess b4d could go to mousesports now and awp fulltime there , if mousesports will still play. :(

2010-08-06 07:23

Just saying , that b4d was the best awp they had imo , of course those guys can awp now , but b4d > anyone with awp at ALTERNATE aTTaX :)

2010-08-06 07:26

2010-08-06 02:27

Sad :/ b4d is really good..

2010-08-06 02:49

b4d had the best k/d ratio from team alternate,they are starting to suck like sk did pretty good amount of time(not changing their corelineup never)

2010-08-06 02:53

b4d mega HArd AIM bad go in team mouz!

2010-08-06 04:33

CHEF KOCH to mousesports plz plz plz :D

2010-08-06 05:06

if thy want 2 spec him as 6th after sign KanyoN .. he is gone with better decision 2 LEAVE on his own...because he is giving consistently a good performance then also thy show him a BENCH so its GooD decision from his Side.. :)

2010-08-06 05:47

I really think the only suitable replacements for cyx are approx or Blizzard, hopefully Blizzard comes back into the team

2010-08-06 07:37

CHEF KOCH paN and b4d should play together.

2010-08-06 08:33

Haha, the Alternate exiles. :P

2010-08-06 12:20

Does the American speak German or do they speak English in the team? Sorry I just never heard of KenaN. (I haven't played or been on hltv during the time he was recruited to Alternate)

2010-08-06 12:30

KenaN speaks german. Afaik he has a mixed background, he was born in Germany(?) but because of his parents he also has a dual citizenship of Austria and USA or something like that...
