The new team includes Andre ‘nooky’ Utesch, who had been a part of mTw’s Counter-Strike 1.6 line-up until they disbanded earlier this month. He now rejoins the organization as a Counter-Strike: Source player, along with some other familiar faces from the European scene.

Philipp ‘osirisbash’ Kaczmarczyk is now officially joining the line-up, although he has played with the team previously. In addition, Nils ‘lb’ Koch will be joining as the team’s sixth man, and will fill in for other players when required.

Andre ‘nooky’ Utesch released the following statement regarding the new team:

"I look forward to this new challenge in CS:S. I have played for a few weeks now and this game is always better to come right. Our goals for the first season are to have fun and gain motivation in the game. We have a good mix of young players and experienced players and I think we are in a very good position."

Utesch also discussed his move from 1.6 to Source with GotFrag...

"There are different reasons for my move to Source. First of all, it was more fun playing CS:S than CS 1.6 when I started playing CS:S. Second was that there was no team in 1.6 that I wanted to play for and I did not want to play only for money - so I decided to go to mTw with people I like to play. This whole thing is new, so I'm really fresh and totaly motivated."

When asked whether or not the team will be aiming for the Championship Gaming Series, Utesch replied, "we have no idea at the moment. For now, we will focus on ourselves and try to practice as much as possible to get the best out of the team".
