x6tence bring in coachi

x6tence e-sports club have completed their roster with the addition of former k1ck captain Hélder "coachi" Sancho.

The Brazil-born player had been without a team since k1ck switched to CS:GO in September as only two players from the 1.6 division made the transition to the new squad.

It had been speculated that Sancho could put together a new team with some of his former k1ck team-mates, but he has now been confirmed as the fifth player of the Spanish team.

He will step into the shoes of Vicens "Vis" González, who quit x6tence for ASES two weeks ago just days after joining the team.

"I am very proud and honoured to be part of this organisation, one of the best in the world," Sancho told x6tence's website.

"We will give our all in this new game so that x6tence can be what they have always been, which is the number one in Spain.

"Is it a pleasure to be here with players who have made history in Counter-Strike, like FlipiN, so I would thank them for this opportunity.

"I think that they picked me not only because of my quality, but also because they know I am a serious and trustworthy competitor, something that is hard to find nowadays.

"I hope that I will repay their trust with dedication and titles. Communication will not be an issue because I speak Spanish and I understand it perfectly, so I think I will be ready to compete after practicing for a few days."

This is not the first time, though, that x6tence have resorted to Portuguese talent. In 2004, the Spanish giants added Ricardo "fox" Pacheco to their roster, but the experience was short lived, as the player would leave the team only a few days later.

x6tence have not yet announced their future events, but they will participate in the upcoming EPS season, which will feature a prize purse of €7,000.

Following Sancho's arrival, x6tence now have the following players:

Antonio "FlipiN" Rivas
Omar "arki" Chakkor
Victor "xikii" García
Luis "Wyks" Cubas
Hélder "coachi" Sancho
