Transfer Recap: March
March has passed and we rewind and recap it by taking a look at the many transfers that took place.
The first transfer of the month was done during CeBIT, but not by a team attending the IEM5 World Championship. Norwegian alchemists Unleashed announced they had brought in the Swede André "BARBARR" Möller, who would fill in for Kristian "KORN" Hokland, who stepped down from his active role in the team.
The next day, Portuguese-based Online Kingdom announced the signing of the Finnsh Elukkaveljekset Gaming Club team. Two days later on March 5, Made in Brazil saw their Counter-Strike team move back to playArt, after the players were reported to be unhappy with the Brazilian organization's lack of support. On March 7 Tobias "Troubley" Tabbert announced his return to TBH, filling the shoes of Dominik "d0m AZ" Wrabetz.
