In mid-April, Reason Gaming lost its previous Counter-Strike: Source team to a lack of motivation and headhunting by rival organizations. Yesterday, they announced that they had filled the opening with eSuba, a Czech and Slovakian line-up that has been rising quickly through the European ranks for the past few months. Just last weekend they won Lan79 in France, earning themselves €5,000.

Over on Reason Gaming’s website, team leader Marek "PhP" Kadek had this to say:

"We have received several offers, and deciding was a tough one. I'm happy to say we will be joining Reason-Gaming. Reason Gaming has a great name among its ex-CSS players, I have only heard good things about it, and as I know, it has brilliant management. I'd like to thank them for this chance, and promise them we will do everything to make them proud."

Max Silver, manager of Reason.CSS, released the following statement:

"After spending time with these guys at LAN79 I knew they are the team we want for Reason Gaming. Having watched these guys grow from Defeaters to where they are now I'm delighted to present them as the new face of Reason Gaming Counter-Strike: Source, and will be working closely with them over the next months to help them repeat the success at LAN79. We're looking to bring the team to the major events over the summer."

The new line-up of Reason.CSS is as follows:

Marek "PhP" Kadek (Team Leader)
Martin "UN" Stehlik
Tomas "WT" Herout (Ingame Leader)
Petr "pR" Novak
Daniel "STR" Ladra
