d2x bring in tuBBy and Adrenaline

30-9-2010 13:35

d2x have announced the bolstering of their team by adding Travis "tuBBy" Bechtol and Paul "Adrenaline" Baker.

American side d2x, formerly known as Ruins, see it necessary to replace the former Blight duo Dustin "dizzaman" Dilyerd and Chris "TRULS" Navratil due to real life commitments, ESEANews.com reports.

Showing up at WCG USA under the Ruins name, the team posted notable scores against Backfire and the previous Loaded squad, but having collected a loss against Evil Geniuses made them inadequate in terms of advancing to the playoffs.

"dizzaman and TRULS were both forced to contend with real life commitments that would leave little to no time for the team. After WCG, they both decided it would be best for the team if both of them to take time off from CS", Bryan "buskey" Buskey said.

In order to suffice for the two-man loss, d2x have called upon the former Gravitas member Paul "Adrenaline" Baker, and Travis "tuBBy" Bechtol who is these days performing under the Evil Geniuses tag at the World Cyber Games 2010 Finals.

d2x now boast the following squad:

Bryan "buskey" Buskey
Dan "mehLer" Mehler
Kyle "flowsicK" Mendez
Travis "tuBBy" Bechtol
Paul "Adrenaline" Baker

The team is furthermore qualified for the IEM5 American Championship Finals, having been grouped together with Area51, compLexity and Artyk, an event which will take place from October 8-10 at the New York City ComicCon.

dont think this team can make something good

I don't know flowsick but seems rather good

He plays with the former Loaded boys, who were recently dumped when Evil Geniuses acquired the organization.

yep sry I forgot to check the players databasis before asking ^^

Flowsick was actually cut after ESEA LAN Season 5 where Loaded finished 4th despite upsetting Complexity (again) with the lineup of Djibouti, XP3, Evolution, Adrenaline and himself. The current Loadead / ReLoaded lineup was and still is Steno, pauLy, Evolution, quas and sgares. There might be more news coming from them prior to IEM and will let you guys at HLTV.org know beforehand :).

2010-09-30 19:34

He edited his question, it originally asked about Adrenaline. Sounds good mate. :)

No, he's not.

2010-09-30 13:42

tuBBy OWNS! Have u even SEEN him play? Don´t comment when u know nothing. OnT: Nice team, hope they´ll do some damage. :)

2010-09-30 14:46

I've played with tuBBy and against tuBBy, he isn't that good, probably the worst on this team but he's still pretty decent GL Adrenaline

2010-09-30 17:13

Well, if u say that he aint so good then u must be the pro himself, right? But still! I´ve never seen ya play!;o ^^ And when tuBBy played against NaVi he was awesome.

2010-09-30 17:46

don't listen to jns_kodiii ever, he is truly a moron and doesn't know anything about the US scene. tuBBy is a great player, one of the strongest on the team. also i doubt many people that aren't from N.A. know buskey, but hes been around for a while and is really good.

2010-09-30 18:19

Exactly.

2010-09-30 20:37

this team could be quite good

2010-09-30 13:53

Should have waited two minutes with posting.

2010-09-30 14:02

WOW

2010-09-30 14:09

2010-09-30 14:14

2010-09-30 16:56

2010-09-30 15:35

I like this roster! mehler, adrenaline, tubby all very good players...flowsick also has proved himself in recent LANs buskey has a lot of reputation I guess :D ...but he should also do good...

tubby got a sick awp^^

2010-09-30 14:55

mehLer with his awesome way to sit in front of his screen.

2010-09-30 15:08

very criticized for us when he played for EG at wcg pan american

2010-09-30 15:16

mehLer !!!

2010-09-30 15:22

walle, crush them again

2010-09-30 16:02

mehLer is insane -flowsicK and buskey +hero and thomZ

2010-09-30 16:16

woah now! you ant just replace BUSKEY.... flowsick i guess sucks, replace him. good pickups : D go paul ^_^

2010-09-30 16:52

not sure if your serious here. -mehler -buskey +hero +thomz flowsick is the second best player on that team to tubby and thats only cause tubby has the international experience

2010-09-30 17:48

i think just buskey would be good. -buskey +PauLy .. unless buskey calls for them (igl)

2010-09-30 18:49

i can agree to that, although maybe its just me but i think mehler is really weak. the strongest part of that team is made up of tubby flowsick and adrenaline for sure though.
