With the CGS going down in flames, the American Counter-Strike scene has been flourishing. Top players are returning to form new teams for 2009, and MoB Gaming is no different.

Joining up with Noah "Striker" Alvarado are three former CGS players, Albert "hahN" Hahn, Cyrus "org" Habibi, and Hoang "s0nNy" Tran -- the latter being teammates with the Carolina Core.

They've managed to pull Jimmy "foogz" Koller out of retirement to complete the roster.

"For me, the CGS dying basically re-invented my CS career, I had basically moved on from gaming in both mind and spirit knowing that the future was Source and CGS," Fogle told MoBDeep.net.

Habibi seems confident about the switch back, noting that their team is ready for the competition.

"Are we ready? Yes. In winning form? Not yet. It'll definitely take some time, but I wouldn't be playing if I didn't truly believe we could dominate the rankings," he said.

"I feel confident that this team will be one of the top teams not only in the US but internationally as well," Alvarado added.

The MoB lineup is now the following:

Noah "StrikeR" Alvarado
Cyrus "org" Habibi
Albert "hahN" Hahn
Jimmy "foogz" Koller
Hoang "s0nNy" Tran
