Counter-Strike Source: Mason joins x3o, roster now complete

By: Nick Bee - Published January 30, 2008 at 4:00 PM EST - Writer Archive
Mason "mason" Dickens joins x3o and rounds out the new roster following the recent shakeup.
When Charlie "cbz" Pyo and Erik "da bears" Stromberg went inactive from the roster for various reasons, x3o's CS:Source lineup was in shambles. A search was started to find two new players that could compete at the CEVO-Pro level. The initial pickup of Todd “anger” Williams satisfied the need for a in-game strat caller, but the question of who would finalize the team still needed to be answered.

Today however, the question has been answered as x3o has released information on its new starting fifth.

Taking Stromberg's position as the starting fifth will be Mason "mason" Dickens. Dickens played ringer for the team last week in their match against the Furia for CEVO-P Week Three. With this addition, the roster is now solidified with no changes planned in the near future.

Speaking with team manager Nick Fitz, he went on to explain just how the team came to the conclusion that Dickens was the best candidate for the clan.

"The team (Ryan, Tarik, Justin, and Todd) were going over possible candidates and Mason's name came up. We invited him to scrim with the team later that night, and everything seemed to click. The main characteristics that attracted us to Mason was that he was excited and available to play, communicated well, and had a fun personality that meshed well with the other players."

Dickens will be starting for x3o in all upcoming CEVO-P matches alongside Williams who had internet issues last week that are being resolved.
