Steven "dfb" Leunens: "With this Quake4 team beneath our wings we are once more preparing for a great 2006. I'm confident each and every one of these players will perform as well as they can, now and in the future. We have taken in both known players and some good prospects to make it a deadly mix of skill and experience, let's hope for a good end result !"

Willem "DesorteD" De Roover is 21 years old and a former player of fnatic. DesorteD has played Call of Duty and Team Fortress Classic and had no Quake experience before Q4. This, however, is exactly why we picked him. Without the experience, Willem is already performing at high level and his learning curve is amazing.
