USA - TLR would like to welcome Chris "deppy" DePaul to their North American CS:S team. Having tried a few different players over the last several weeks, team leader Samuel "CHewbacca" Tesh was very happy to acquire the services of DePaul and had the following to say about the pickup "Overall I don't think we could have found a better player. Deppy has the dedication and skill to help take our team to the next level. He also brings a lot of name recognition to our team which we are sorely lacking. We are already extremely happy with his performance and as team chemistry develops it will only improve".

Mid-season roster changes can sometimes bring instability to teams, however Tesh feels this will work in TLR's favor, "Late season roster changes are always a gamble and usually not a good one. Regardless of individual player abilities, it takes months of matches and scrims to develop the integrated strats and coordinated team play required to hang with the likes of Complexity, Optx, Core and Venom but sometimes circumstances don't give you any other options".

DePaul had the following to say about his new team, and his decision to pick them over other offers "I like the activity of the team, and I think if we keep up the work and dedication we have a good chance of making the CGS draft next season (depending on the GMs)".

TLR would also like to announce that their North American CS:S team is now being managed by Matthew "Erd" Grover, formerly the manager of EFGaming. This is the first position Grover has taken since the EFG roster was drafted to play in the CGS, and he as well as the team seems to be excited about the future. Team leader Tesh had the following comments about working with Grover, "As the end of the season approaches and playoffs loom just a few short weeks off, fate seems to be smiling on TLR on all fronts. In addition to being way ahead of our team goals, and everyone's predictions, we are really excited to have Grover come on board as TLR's team manager. Everyone knows Grover from EFG. His experience and handling the logistical side of the game will let the rest of the team focus on getting to that next level."

With the playoffs for CEVO-P just around the corner TLR looks toward making a push to secure a playoff spot with the following roster:

Manager:
Matthew "Erd" Grover

Starting Five:
Samuel "CHewbacca" Tesh
Chris "Collision" Swanson
