The Spanish veteran has been out of action since his retirement from gaming in July 2007 following x6tence's sub-par campaign at the ESWC.

He has now been unveiled as x6tence's fifth player for the World Cyber Games event in Cologne, replacing Jean "wasi" García.

The Ecuadorian-born player joined the team in April and played the Spanish WCG qualifier with x6tence; however his application for a permit to play the WCG World Finals was initially denied.

García, who has lived in Spain since the age of 11, won't become a Spanish national citizen until December, which is why International Cyber Marketing (ICM), the global organizer of the WCG events, told x6tence after the qualifier that García was ineligible to play in Cologne.

Although ICM later gave García the green light to play for x6tence at the WCG Finals, the company that owns the WCG rights in Spain had already booked a plane ticket to Arroyo so the team decided that he should be its fifth player at the event.

"x6tence called me and I answered its call," Arroyo told the team's webpage. "I am very proud to wear this shirt again and I will do it the best way I can."

"I am not going to claim anyone's spot, wasi is an amazing player with an incredible future and he will grow up in this team as a player and a person."

x6tence has been drawn in Group G and will go head-to-head with the likes of Putb and eSport-Eu in the opening phase.

The team will attend the WCG Finals with the following line-up:

Antonio "FlipiN" Rivas
David "r1bera" Antón
Adrián "sioK" Rodríguez
Daniel "furby" Luna
David "DeyF" Arroyo
