pauLy inactive, dboorN & hero return

24-4-2012 05:45

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Derek "dboorN" Boorn and Jeff "hero" Mettetal have joined undertow while Paul "pauLy" Guerboyan has gone inactive and been replaced by former Back2Back player Christian "sobo" Soboleske in UMX.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

Steve "reltuC" Cutler
Kyle "flowsicK" Mendez
Francis "kiko" Lao
Christian "sobo" Soboleske
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.

Arjun "bN" Gill
Derek "dboorN" Boorn
Anthony "djibouti" Manosca (temporary)
Jeff "hero" Mettetal
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 :)

2012-04-24 12:48

i think we all know that, unless sum1 is new to the game

2012-04-24 20:15

because Brazilian're always wanting to go over the other? has the least respect for anyone.

2012-04-24 15:34

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.

How is he contradicting his own statement exactly?

2012-04-24 09:16

2012-04-24 10:12

ppl forget that he is just a 15 yr old.. arent all teenagers like this ? at least he plays good.. so whats the prob with the rage n all.. we have seen ceh9, minet n all do worse :)

2012-04-25 07:53

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.

2012-04-25 15:37

Bad attempt ..

2012-04-25 01:40

huh?

2012-04-25 07:55

trying to be smart?

2012-04-25 20:58

agreed dboorn seems like a nice guy ingame dunno about swag tho

2012-04-24 08:46

How does swag rage quit. He dominates almost every pug he plays in

2012-04-24 12:08

+1 lol, and besides, pugs don't matter to top teams.. they can leave whenever, imo.

2012-04-25 07:17

i know but that's what happened.

2012-04-25 20:59

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.

2012-04-24 06:54

Ultimax isn't good anyways. B2B will win it all.

2012-04-24 12:11

Where are all these US teams? Are they planning on attending big events along with all the other big-name teams any time soon or they will play ESEA forever??? It's been a really long time since the US team (EG.usa for instance) attended anything...Cmmon, we'd like to see you in business, you got the money to travel...

2012-04-24 12:12

If they got money to travel they will come.. b2b will probably attend one or two international tournament.

2012-04-24 12:16

there is no money to travel, who told you that?

2012-04-24 15:35

did you see hero's short comeback not to long ago, he sucked ass and retired right after..but when he was in his prime he was one of the best NA players at the time overall, he's smart, his rifles and awp are both amazing(or they were) right now i would still take fRoD > hero

2012-04-24 21:19

imo this UMX lineup is much stronger and motivated than their previous sponsored team when they had their "gaming house" (aka barely made playoffs playing right next to each other:p). 5 solid lan players here. they should do well. good to see djibouti back, even if it is just for a little:) siiick player
