The Dutch squad has been looking for new solutions since Tom �tommeh� Nijenhuis and Dennis �muh� van Maurik confirmed their desire to retire from professional gaming.

However, following the poor campaign in the ESWC tournament, where DigitalMind finished in last place in its group, the management decided to have more roster changes in order to scale greater heights in the future.

Mike �trx� Degger and Dennis �seezung� Seesing have been allowed to open negotiations with other teams as they are no longer part of the digitalMind line-up. Both players are expected to continue playing together, this time in a new project.

DigitalMind has agreed deals for Ivan "Apollo" Wuddhisukhum, Yannik "Luce" Bindo and Ferdi "xire" Senel - three players coming from defusekids.

The possibility of playing for an organisation with better conditions was the main reason behind this move, according to Wuddhisukhum.

"DigitalMind is a well-respected team with a solid management and a nice budget to attend international LAN events, something we did not have in defusekids," he said.

"We had the possibility to make one of the best line-ups in Benelux when it comes to skill and experience, that was an opportunity I could not waste."

DigitalMind has also agreed a deal with Nordien "minto" De Jong, who returns to the gaming stages after a period of inactivity.

Despite this fact, DigitalMind manager Nick "vgas" Reys believes De Jong will play a major role in the team.

"Minto has always been a spectacular and amazing player," Reys told GotFrag.com "His close relationship with the Defusekids players made him a logical choice to complete the line-up.

These changes leave defusekids with two players only, Kenneth "ofkeli" �fkeli and Karel "Bax" Jannes, with Wuddhisukhum revealing that the team will most likely fold again due to Jannes' wish to retire from gaming after the World Cyber Games event.

The new DigitalMind roster should make its official debut in the upcoming KODE5 event in the Netherlands, which will take place in Enschede from October 27th to 28th.

DigitalMind has now the following roster:

Roy "r0y" Gerritsen
Netherlands

Nordien "minto" De Jong
Netherlands

Ferdi "xire" Senel
Belgium

Ivan "Apollo" Wuddhisukhum
Belgium

Yannik "luce" Bindo

#iLLest

with some practice these lineup can do some REAL damage in the international counter-strike scene
:)

seezung is bad.

#12 is bad

#11 maybe not

shwift. unlimited ownage

#12 plz shut up he was best at most lans for dm :) so dont talk when you dont know anything

btw nice new line-up

0>!<0

Weren't they at ESWC? I remember downloading a movie called Digital Minds =D

Go Read a Book =)

old dk > new dM

#21 yeah they were
#22 dont think so, minto is extreme. though I suspect ofkeli and bax were just as good as roy but yeah, minto is just >>> ;p
#12 seezung is the ingame leader, so naturally isnt as consistent as the rest when it comes to fragging.
#17 who said what?
#16 yw

nice line-up
dang shame about Tom though :(

Lol I don't hope the old cea story unfolds here, were they only had two weeks of activity and motivation, when the potential is there :(, although removing trx was a bad call imo, most talented player in the Netherlands

i've seen this movie bevore.

they will stay one or three months in dM and they will leave to DefuseKits again

a Netherlands team is gonna be the next big thing, lots of talent, cant wait!

K BIG TIME profession with that new line up,

Apollo, best player of benelux deverses that team and Digital-Mind deserves apollo.

Luce and Xire complete the perfect line up of the best benelux team ever.

Almost same team as 2006

luce = fragmachine.

#22 and old dm owns old dk:P

nice team, but if u wanted to have the best team u should have had tommeh and trx in it.

tommeh is like some sort of minif0rest and when he is in the mood he can out aim the whole swedish scene, too bad he is gonna quit ;(

nice;) they're gonna rape all in Holland but in Europe? time will tell :]

gl guys

omg its teh fuNky shit

#23, you obviously don't play poker =))

guys, let me be honest with you - I haven't even gone over the text above, but every time I see those two names - "defusekids" and "digitalmind", my eyes begin to bleed (( These teams have never achieved success in Europe why would anybody want to create a separate post on roster changes ? There are a lot of teams in Russia that are able to drop both these teams easily and still they were never discussed here ((

FC Bayern for the win !

#35 ure obviously drunk or something...
these players have potential to become top(5?)10 europe.....

good players. r0y might hold them back.

35 has a point, too. Russa/Ukraine scene should be covered more in depth than Benelux.
