Backfire add Xp3 & Adrenaline

21-9-2010 21:00

Backfire have announced the additions of Paul "Adrenaline" Baker and David "Xp3" Garrido to their Counter-Strike team.

The American team were the big surprise at the WCG qualifier earlier this month, finishing in a surprising third place, with wins over Loaded and WinOut.

David "Xp3" Garrido had been without a team since the disbandment of the former compLexity team, with the French veteran failing to make the transition to POV.

Paul "Adrenaline" Baker was on the market after being replaced by Sean "sgares" Gares at Loaded last month, even after putting up a good show at Arbalet Cup Dallas.

"I played with nettik and tyson in Backfire back when CEVO was just starting and I always enjoyed playing with them. I stayed friends with them outside of the game so playing with them was an easy decision", Baker told ESEA News.

"That decision was even easier knowing I'd be playing with two of my old loaded teammates in Xp3 and djibouti. The atmosphere of the team is good and we all have fun competing together. I like this team a lot because the hunger is still there for all of us."

Backfire have already begun preparations for the IEM American Championship, where they will present the following quintet:

Michael "nEtt1k" OBrien
Cody "nosyt" Tyson
Anthony "djibouti" Manosca
Paul "Adrenaline" Baker
David "Xp3" Garrido

nice

Yeah seriously.. I don't get this one bit. impsta, nEttik, nosyt are the perfect combo, all good fraggers.. why they would pick up xp3 I don't know. He's not good lol.

Have you ever seen Xp3 play? Hes an animal ;)

2010-09-21 21:53

actually they arnt, impsta hates the fuck out of that dipshit Cody Tyson. Then tyson cuts impsta for being the only one to inform tyson hes a prick with serious mental issues.

2010-09-21 22:19

umm no thats not true at all.. stop trying to make up bullshit .. as cody would say "LATER FAGGOT"

upgrades but losses at the same time.

2010-09-21 21:09

Sounds promising I'm lookin forward to see what's gonna happen

can be 3rd power in USA for sure, maybe even top2

2010-09-21 21:14

Nope

lets see how long they will put up with nosyt being the biggest faggot in counter-strike

2010-09-21 21:26

i dont know why but ur comment made LOL at work

2010-09-21 21:31

gl Xp3

adrenaline has history with backfire so he knows what he's getting into

2010-09-21 21:40

Xp3 is siCk.

2010-09-21 21:45

finally we can enjoy adrenaline's awp again :D

2010-09-21 21:52

If impsta quit, its a real shame. The core of nett1k, cnoyst and impsta was pretty good.

2010-09-21 22:00

2010-09-21 22:12

old backfire line-up was better. Put 5 good players on a team doesn't necessarily make a good team.

2010-09-21 22:21

nosyt is a faggot and is terrible

yea thats why he did so well at wcg qualifier

2010-09-21 22:32

and if by do good at the WCG qualifier you mean not getting a spot to WCG ya he did. oh and pauly did good at ESEA Lan finals but where is he now. did he shit on everyone at WCG finals? no he didnt. nosyt fragging hard at WCG is a one time thing cause he sucks dick and likes dick

2010-09-21 22:38

someone's very angry lol

4 replies

ya cause the kid is a faggot

2010-09-21 22:41

he must have insulted u like he does to everyone else he doesnt know.. lol

2010-09-21 22:42

and people he does know. nettik and impsta didnt seem to like putting up with his shit much either, they told me time and time again to just let him do his thing, but i didnt and i left. i can only imagine how full of himself he would be if he got rid of all that acne.

2010-09-22 00:29

I think he got rid of his acne and lost a good amount of weight too. That's why he's an even bigger faggot!

2010-09-22 00:48

tks for the support ;]

2010-09-21 22:31

SUCH A SICK LINEUP:D one of my new fav teams, go pB420^_-

2010-09-21 22:52

i almost bet all my bet money to excello when HLTV didnt have the right lineup -.- this team can do some serious damage. adrenaline awp is amazing

2010-09-21 23:04

Antony and Paul very good :D GL

2010-09-22 00:06

that's 2 great pickups for this team!

#45 wins. Impsta was cut by cnosyt because the rest of the team didnt have the balls to confront him :[

2010-09-22 01:01

i was shocked when i saw they replaced impsta.. hopefully he gets picked up by a good team

2010-09-22 01:04

pretty sad decision on backfires part, why not just go with impsta, nettik, djibouti, adrenaline, xp3? seems like it would be a much more stable lineup without the whiner.. guess that's how cs works though.

2010-09-22 02:19

imsta was so underrated! such a shame!

2010-09-22 02:24

WinOut | Impsta

2010-09-22 02:53

Impsta joined the esea backfire roster today...

2010-09-22 03:18

- nett1k + evolution

2010-09-22 08:01

nice! lineup

2010-09-22 11:50

i really like xp3, seems like a real nice guy and he's got mad skrillz

2010-09-22 11:52

Adrenaline madAWPer *___*

2010-09-22 15:05

please god i'll be a good kid if this team will last at least for a year xDD...Imo they shouldnt change their lineeup so often all of the american teams(except fo EG obviously)..Loaded had a pretty strong lineup with djibouti,flowsick,xp3 etc..then they broke and half of them went to coL just to see them break again and scatter to other teams...just make 3-4 good teams and stick to the lineup..no wonder why EG is the best in US the past 2 years and european teams like fnatic,Navi,SK always beat you.SOrry cs doesnt work this way..Anyway GL to the guys
