The German team had been linked with roster changes for some time following a disappointing EPS season in which it placed sixth, fifteen points adrift of leader mousesports.

Tim "mason" Kleemann had stated earlier this week that Competo would not feature the same line-up next season and Hochgrebe has now confirmed the latest reports by announcing his retirement after the EPS season's last Intel Friday Night Game.

The ex-mouz man has decided to put an end to a career that reached its peak at ALTERNATE aTTaX and mousesports from 2005-07.

This decision leaves Competo Sports with the following line-up:

Markus "crash" Esser
Christian "ChRRRRp" Porten
Tim "mason" Kleemann
Alexander "XaVe" Ackenhausen
Matthias "teAk" Czaja

Tim "silver" Hochgrebe (retired)
