The German team will be given the EPS spot which belonged to hoorai and will be managed by Christian "PsYcHo" Lenz and Bjoern "BJNy" Kosin, former leaders of ID-Gaming.

Composed by former members of a-Losers and ULTRAFORCE, ESC-Gaming confessed to have had its sights on this line-up for some time and is confident that the squad has the potential to mount a serious EPS challenge.

"The 2007 EPS season made many talented players prove what they were capable of, so after we found out this line-up with young and talented players, we talked to them about joining ESC-Gaming," team manger Daniel "rage" Andersson told GotFrag.com.

"I think that for a young team like this a place among the top 5-7 teams would be great, and of course to keep the same line-up throughout the entire season."

The ESC-Gaming line-up is as follows:

Sinan "bauzka" Cavus
Philipp "PHILIPP" Reitzmann
Christian "natu" Hennighausen
Lukas "Relay" Nething
Marius "pred" Förster
