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:

United States

Noah "StrikeR" Alvarado
United States

Cyrus "org" Habibi
United States

Albert "hahN" Hahn
United States

Jimmy "foogz" Koller
United States

Hoang "s0nNy" Tran

I concur.

Another good USA team. Nice.

i care when im paid to ~ #united5

bring back DAFF =)

for some reason i see alot of lineup changes with this team.

IM A KIXER FAN

nice team,....will definitely do well!..... considering dat jmc have very easily gone down to zEx....i doubt if EG would do ne better.....so i guess teams like MOb ,zEx n x3o have a chance of causing big upsets........if u knw wt i mean...

nice line up!
It seemed like these guys would form some type of team. Only Keen is missing :(

#8 needs a team :D

also ...
Reserves:
Joseph "Perez" Perez
Ryan "Ph@mtastic" Ph@m
Matt "Lim" Beahan

Are they reserves because they are still under contract? and was that the reason Lim couldnt join up with FD? kind of surprised that perez is now on the bench after being on the team for such a long time.

I Started the FURY craze!

interesting. gl :)

jg4i - just go for it

best usa team

supply needs to replace striker and this team is unstopable

#6 what about rambo

Man, those guys have been playing together for a long time through Aggression and Check-Six days. Wonder if Pandemic will pick up a CS team again? The money will be worth it considering how there's barely any Guitar Hero or Team Fortress 2 events compared to CS 1.6

replace striker with supply , daff or someone better and you might do something

nice to see foogz back, i thought united 5 would have reformed but oh well. sick line up

#MexicanGiraffes

Good luck!

Get up, get famous. Play hard, go pro.

Looks like USA will show wich country that is the second best cs nation in the world 2009 :)...

YEAH !!!!

s0nNy -st- , is back !!!

I love sonny
Need more Shaguarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......

Well, this is actually interesting. CS really is starting to come back in 2009.

there should be an age limit on stupidity

maybe they want to keep the extra in case the current 5 don't do as well @_@

BLACKHAWK

SOME PANDEMICNESS RETURNS... gl to them... this is getting most interesting indeed.

If they replace StrikeR and get aZn instead the line-up would be insane. Plus ph4m is alot better than StrikeR imo.

"that girl is thick like bifocals, damn" - cho

#17 they are still under contract so unless FD wants to pay for Lim's contract he wont be let go until its up. Rumors are going around saying that he is retiring since he wont be playing for MoB.... its a shame to have such good players on the bench, but 1.6 is turning out to be like professional contracts, people just cant leave and join another team.. o well... hopefully when their contracts are up perez and ph@m, and maybe lim will find a new home

Wow another great US team. Good Luck fellas. Sonny!!!

I wanted to see s0nny as the fifth for zEx/eMg :X

�_�

they kept striker? why?

Quad 6600 2.40GHz - EVGA 9600 GT - SB Audigy ZS - 4GB OCZ Ram

he was always their "leader" i dont know why they dropped a lot of good people like KRIS and adrenaline[dt] back when they first got their sponsorship from MoB

this sonny it that azn guy? ex-PANDEMIC right?

if yes, wow he was a beast

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

I wonder what Pandemic is going to do with Rambo...

what... who said that?

i suck

Pretty good team actually. =)

That's a great lineup, love that s0nNy is on it, good luck to you!

GotFrag 는 최고의 !

i heard striker likes to party

on a serious note, replace striker with someone and it'd be cool

just use ryennn's, he UNLEASHES usp bullets in mehLer

nastyyyy

dang, kinda sad to see s0nny leave pandemic
