This decision comes in the wake of the team's poor campaigns in the latest events, having managed just a third-place finish at the WCG qualifier and, more recently, a fourth-place finish at XLPARTY.

K1ck has decided to remove every player from the active line-up but Ricardo "foxj" Pacheco, who has now been handed the task of rebuilding the squad.

"K1ck.cs ended last night a series of unsatisfying results at the XLP LAN Party with a defeat that threw us to the fourth place," k1ck said on its official webpage.

"As a consequence of these results, we will start building the team from scratch, with Ricardo "/< foxj" Pacheco being the only player to stay in the team.

"His mission will be to make us return to the long string of victories we had in a recent past, like at WCG 2007, with a wisely and carefully chosen team."

K1ck eSports Club had the following line-up:

Ricardo "foxj" Pacheco
Nuno "BUX" Simões
José "Monk" Maganinho
Bruno "phrz" Barbosa
Luan "luna" Martins
Filipe "caliban" Alferes
