Praetoriani, an up and coming Warcraft team, came very close to qualifing for both WC3L and NGL-One, losing only in the later rounds. A few weeks ago, one of their strongest players, Robert "Rob" Abdrakhmanov, decided to leave the clan due to internal conflict, leaving the Praetoriani roster significantly weakened.

With a number of leagues coming to a close, qualifiers will soon be underway. Prae picks up three players to boost their roster.

Oh "Supplant" Bunchul is a popular player, due to his consistent participation on the weekly inCup tournaments. He previously played for Trademark Gamers, who unfortunately disbanded after a disqualification from the WC3L. He has played under different names, which are obuncher and Miss.

Lee "Mamoru" Kwan Woo is active on several online leagues, since he previously played for several teams prior to Prae. Notably for Play.IT and LanFan for the WC3L. Unfortunately, these two teams are now defunct.

Merlin "Thurisaz" Müller was formerly a member of Prae until he switched to the SK Germany squad last May. He makes his return to help his former teammates.

Statement from Jaco "Lloth" van Dijk, founder of Prae and manager of the Warcraft III squad:

Of course, one of our goals is reaching WC3L, but we realize that even with these additions, it will be hard. Our old roster had some flaws in it with inactive players, with school and other situations, we didn't had much choice than to look for players. So why not add Mamoru and Supplant, who are two great solo players aswell as 2on2. Merlin, we alreado know is a very good player and we always had contact during his stay in SK.ger, therefore we are happy that our footman returned to our team.

This brings the full Praetoriani roster to:

Prae.Eric
Prae.Mamoru
Prae.Paladyn
Prae.Supplant
Prae.TeRRoR
Prae.Tharkas
Prae.Thurisaz
Prae.ToRReN
Prae.YarChik

Good luck to team Praetoriani!
