buskey forced to leave UMX

2-10-2011 08:47

Captain of Ultimax Gaming USA, Bryan "buskey" Buskey has been forced to leave the team and the house in California, as a serious health matter dealing with a close family member brings him back to his home in North Carolina.

UMX.us participated in the North American qualifier for MSI BEAT IT 2011 last night and Bryan "buskey" Buskey was not playing, but instead the team played with Backfire member Nazar "steno" Vynnytsky. The team ended up getting eliminated in the quarter-final against EGO.

The team has now issued news explaining why Buskey wasn't featured in yesterday's match and what the future holds. In the news issued on the team's website, it is stated that Buskey has been forced to return his home in North Carolina, as a serious health matter dealing with a close family member has come in the way for him to continue with UMX.us.

"As much as I am disappointed in leaving UMX.US, I can no longer stay in California and perform what is needed of me to continue to play. As much as I love playing Counter-Strike, especially for a living, there are far more important things to attend to that cannot happen being across the country. There are no hard feelings between the team and I, and it is very much a mutual agreement. I wish the best of luck to my former teammates and friends in upcoming tournaments and hope for a great placing for them with their stand-in at IEM in New York City" - Said Bryan "buskey" Buskey on UMX's website.

Buskey joined the ranks of UMX.us in June, where he replaced Dustin "dizzaman" Dilyerd. With Buskey leaving the team, the team has brought in Backfire member Nazar "steno" Vynnytsky, who will be acting as a stand-in.

steno joins UMX.us as stand-in, for now

UMX.us now have:

Kyle "flowsicK" Mendez
Chris "TRULS" Navratil
Ric "iNERTIA" Bundy
Ricky "sLip" Cohen
Nazar "steno" Vynnytsky

In the news about Buskey's departure, it is furthermore announced that UMX.us will be attending the IEM6 Global Challenge New York, as they have according to themselves received Backfire's spot, who allegedly are unable to attend. This would place UMX.us in Group A with mTw, Evil Geniuses and ATE.

Sad news =(

You're probably shitting me: first, because on your profile it's written "Baranuskas" while here you're saying that you're name is "Baranauskas". second, "Baranauskas" is Lithuanian surname, most of our surnames ends up with "as" or "ius". Or maybe you're father came from here, or your father's father, and so on... because i don't know how else you could have that name...

Are you retarded? It's kinda obvious someone from his ancestors must have been Lithuanian. It's not like he turned 18 and decided to change his name from Zanetti to Baranauskas. Just for fun, right? This is no mistery to me that his ancestors were Lithuanian.

There are also historical reasons for some names ;) It is possible that during the Middle Ages or so one of the Germans went to Sweden and got to know a qute little Swede, let's say you grand grand grand mother ;)

Forced? Wow, props to DchozN for spinning this like it's some unfortunate tragedy but this has been in the works for awhile. Good luck to them either way because they have always needed a leader, just don't think this is a great idea of saving face. To each his own.

every team does that when they trim a player. lots of bands do it too, its like a common courtesy. quit being a bitch about it.

I understand that and it happens, like you said, with every team but I feel like they've blown the issue way out of proportion and went way overboard when trying to make it out to be something it's not. Whatever the case may be, can only wish them the best moving forward because it's been disappointing cheering them on thus far. nAZ lead the top american team [f2 or flow] to some pretty impressive international results for awhile. Let's see what he can do because they obviously know what is better for their team than any of us!
