Despite their 2nd place finish at last year's EPS Finals, n!faculty have announced changes to their current roster. Both Gerhard "gerdi" Grimm and Germany Daniel "Frigh" Enderle who helped the team to some impressive play throughout the past year have parted ways with the team.

According to manager Kilian "derleo" Ricken, the team thought that these changes were necessary for the team going forward into 2009.

"Not everybody in the team was satisfied, we talked to each other a few times, we thought that it will be better but noticed that there was no improvement and it was time for a change."

As for their replacements, the German organization has quickly picked up former mTw members Max "ODIE" Knappe and Christopher "cash" Steen. Ricken says the team was impressed with the two players' performance over the past year and he praised their work ethic.

"Their good performance in the last season and their will to play on a high level and to work a lot for that means these guys are really motivated," he says.

With the recent change, n!faculty's roster now looks like this:

Bastian 'b4d' Gaffron
Christoph 'chrizzo' Krämer
Jérôme 'shiddy' Tóth
Christopher "cash" Steen
Max "ODIE" Knappe
