BuyKey announce return

16-1-2013 13:05

BuyKey have announced their return to activity with a new line-up.

The French team had decided to cease all operations shortly after a sensational fourth-place finish at the AMD Sapphire CS:GO Invitational in Prague, where they played with Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom as a stand-in.

With Pierre "NpK" Henkinet moving to Hong Kong, the team lost one of their core members, but a new lineup, led by Jérémy "liptoN" Girardeau, has now been put together, as BuyKey look to return to the top of the French scene.

Nicolas "niko" Deckers and Sabry "malikinovic" Belkhiter are back in this new BuyKey project, while David "Shyne" Gelfi has stepped down from the active lineup to become the team's backup player.

The two new players hail from CS:Source and are Victor "SCARA" Henkinet, a former member of PyRoGeN, and Julien "AREA" Dubois, who is mostly known for his time in HighFive.

"We are very happy to announce this team, but especially because BuyKey trust us, despite the ups and downs that the previous team had," Girardeau told Vakarm.net.

"Our first tournament will be the new Epsilan, which looks to be an event that should not be missed."

BuyKey's new lineup consists of the following players:

Jérémy "liptoN" Girardeau
Nicolas "niko" Deckers
Sabry "malikinovic" Belkhiter
Victor "SCARA" Henkinet
Julien "AREA" Dubois

David "Shyne" Gelfi (backup)

who are those?

"as BuyKey look to return to the top of the French scene." They did "ok" in ESWC quals and then got carried completely by ScreaM at Prague. :S

2013-01-16 13:29

if they got carried why scream didnt carry img ? obviously scream delivers an awesome performance at prague (from his confidence , the best ) but others players also did great at prague , specially going as a total unprepared mix

Scream carries Img, it's a fact. But even with a player like him, they can't be Good because of Oztriker.

to know they played like 5 hours each on 2 weeks before prague . and they did great for that non preparation . without in game leader etc... ESWC they surprise all and nearly verygames ( they were leading 13 - 11 against Vg on 1rst map.

I definitely thought Scream was gonna be joining Buykey before I opened this.

FOR MIRAA "Our first tournament will be the new EPS season, which looks to be an event that should not be missed." it's say "EPSI" for the epsilan ;) the good translation is: "Our first tournament will be the EPSILAN, which looks to be an event that should not be missed in france." epsilan.fr/teams/view_list/4 all tops french team will be at this lan(except VG who have not confirmed at the moment) and there is a csgo female tournament too epsilan.fr/teams/view_list/6

Thanks

Wow it actually is looking like it will be a great event. Usually it has one maybe 2 decent teams at it but imG, LDLC, Buykey, NAMELESS, Redzone, Brussel Guardians. Seems quite a good turnout.
