USA - GotFrag has learned that Check-Six Gaming, a name known for many years in the e-Sports world, has announced its return to Counter-Strike: Source by picking up Team Devastation. Devastation was 7-6 during CEVO-P Season 5, just missing the playoffs in a controversial match with eventual 5th-seed LA compLexity.

The Official Check-Six Press Release can be found below:

Check-Six has always been a part of the CS:S scene, with many of the best players in the game once laying home here. The opportunity has presented itself for us to get back into it and support one of the best North American teams.

Team Devastation was one of the most successful teams outside of the CGS in 2007 placing 2nd at Digital life, 2nd at Summer CPL, and 3rd at Winter CPL, with an impressive record and a solid core lineup that have been together for years.

The team is set to attend the Championship Gaming Series Combine in Austin TX, this weekend to compete for their chance to be drafted into a spot on one of the six franchised teams.

"We've been in talks for a few weeks about possibly going to European tournaments," in-game leader Steve "sasquatcH" Csikos said, "and then the combine popped up so we decided to make it offical now." When asked about his feeling towards the Check-Six management, Csikos said, "Well as Matt "Fatback" Kohn is the head now, I feel there is a strong presence towards exellence and our team will try to play to our fullest. He has stated he will support us to the fullest so we will give it our all."

Csikos went to say, "It depends on how dismantled our team becomes. None of us have any idea if we'll be drafted," in response to inquiries about post-Combine tournaments and leagues.

The lineup, as it stands for the Combine this weekend, is as follows:

Steve "sasquatcH" Csikos
Gary "Funshine" Laurita
Rich "sauce" Cannon
Carson "classified" Holt
Albert "hahN" Hahn

Andres "misty" Gunaratne is also on the roster, but will not be playing with the team for the Combine.
