pauLy inactive, dboorN & hero return

Former EG members Derek "dboorN" Boorn and Jeff "hero" Mettetal have joined undertow while Paul "pauLy" Guerboyan has gone inactive and been replaced by former Back2Back player Christian "sobo" Soboleske in UMX.

With season eleven of ESEA Invite underway and a hefty $19,600 prize pot announced with $10,000 going for the winners, teams are making roster changes to improve their chances at winning it all.


pauLy goes inactive 

Guerboyan joined Ultimax Gaming right before the last season's roster lock and helped the team finish second at ESEA Season 10 finals, losing against Soboleske's Back2Back in the grand finals.

Ultimax Gaming USA

United States Steve "reltuC" Cutler
United States Kyle "flowsicK" Mendez
United States Francis "kiko" Lao
United States Christian "sobo" Soboleske
United States Nazar "steno" Vynnytsky

Ultimax are so far undefeated after three matches, including a 16-9 win against Cyber Revolution which was Soboleske's first with the team. They will be facing Danny "fRoD" Montaner's Check Six and the defending champions Back2Back in the next week.


dboorN returns to action in North America 

With Boorn and Mettetal joining, Jon "darkstarr" Gersdorf and Eric "kayahhtic" McCown are going inactive. Mettetal went inactive after EG's disasterous IEM New York showing, while Boorn hasn't competed since EG.cs disbanded in January. Anthony "djibouti" Manosca is currently a temporary replacement due to his busy work schedule.

undertow

Canada Arjun "bN" Gill
United States Derek "dboorN" Boorn
United States Anthony "djibouti" Manosca (temporary)
United States Jeff "hero" Mettetal
United States Ricky "sLip" Cohen

undertow are currently sitting in third place of ESEA Invite with a 3-1-0 record with their sole loss coming in against mouseSpaz. They have yet to face any of the top teams in the league.

nice, gl :)

So there's a news post about some roster changes in the American scene and all you do is compare US Counter-Strike to Brazilian Counter-Strike, both of which can't hold a candle to any of the EU. Please stop being such a fanboy, even if you are just being patriotic.

You do realise that he's talking about a different player than dboorn in the last part of his comment? The player that ragequits is swag, not dboorn. So there's nothing in his statement that contradicts any other part of his statement.

NOW I know that cs is REALLY dead in America. Are you serious putting kiko and sobo on the same team? I mean seriously lets be honest, if they put me + kiko then I would understand but sobo? And adding herotowN with dboorn? Lol herotown was a good player back in 2008, NOT in 2012. Anyways terrible as always UMX is finally dead and all the other teams are going to start dying just like EG did.. Easy America.
