Eximius Sports Picks Sex Pistols for CS:Source
Eximius Sports is happy to announce the addition of our newest Counter-Strike Source squad. Some familiar faces have entered the scene again and we welcomed them with open arms. We are happy to bring on, “Sex Pistols.” They are known in the past for their obnoxious behavior and loud intensity while playing. The intensity has not stopped but they are looking to be a little more serious this time around. Eximius Sports has been without a Counter-Strike Source team since the CEVO-P Placement Tournament. When the team did not make it to CEVO-P the team parted ways. The three remaining core players were contracted with Eximius Sports (messiaH, Allbrook, and br1cks). They all stressed how they wanted to play in the professional division. The Eximius Sports GM, Brad Dick, told them that they were free to go play for whomever they wanted and prove to the CGS General Managers that they had the talent to play in the CGS. However, Brad told them he would keep their contracts handy if he needed them in the future to play for him. Now that time has come with the new lineup consisting of the following:

Jonathan “messiaH” Hammond
Jarrod “remix” Shaw
Lloyd “Shaffer” Shaffer
Michael “HARE” O’Toole
Joe “Foerster” Foerster

When asking the in game leader, Jarrod “remix” Shaw about coming to Eximius Sports he says,

”The main reason why I brought my team to Eximius is that I love the enthusiasm Brad Dick brings to the playing field when it comes to all of his teams. He’s the only guy that I think has the same level of pride, but also the same level of intensity as our team when it comes to getting the job done one way or another. It’s great to finally be playing under Brad.”

Jarrod has expressed that the goal of this team is to reach the Championship Gaming Series. They have a love for it and want to be given the opportunity to reach that goal. The Sex Pistols have finished 4th at the first CGS Combine, then went inactive when Jarrod “remix” Shaw went active into the military. Now returning from basic training he has assembled the once Sex Pistols team and brought a few Eximius familiar faces. The Sex Pistols want to create a new image for themselves by proving to the Counter-Strike Source community how professional and dedicated they can be.

One of the old members Michael “HARE’ O`Toole Talks about the new lineup,

”After a couple months of rest and relaxation - it is good to be back and active for the Eximius organization. I am pleased to return to gaming with past teammate Jonathan “messiaH” Hammond and excited to see what the two of us can do with he Sex Pistols leadership and guns.”

One of the veterans of Sex Pistols, Joe “Foerster” Foerster

"I'm really looking forward to getting back into form with a team full of some of my best friends from gaming. I've played with Lloyd and Jarrod for years now and we have risen to the top ranks of CSS. Adding players like Hare with tons of experience and Messiah who has caught a few bad breaks, but is an amazing player will only add to the old mix that was once SXP.“

Finally when asking General Manager Brad Dick about the new pick-up he says,

“I have always admired this team; they have the talent to do amazing things. I think the one thing they always lacked was some structure and bad influences by people surrounding them. I think they understand that for them to reach their goal by getting to the CGS, they have to mold their image. They came to me expressing what they this is what they want. With the addition of messiaH and HARE this should be quite the spectacle. I feel sorry for any team that has to step out on the field with them.”
