Reason Changes

Following a disappointing performance at the DSRack LAN the news broke that the Reason Gaming CS:S team would be leaving the organisation they had called home for well over a year. Today we can announce their replacements.

Coming into the organisation will be none other than uber G33KZ, a team who have been without a home since leaving The Imperial following a first place finish at the Copenhagen Games - where they ironically defeated Reason Gaming in the final. The team have also found replacements for the players they lost earlier this month in the shape of Danni "rytme" Hansen and Troels "eXce" Kierulff, two ex-teammates of Henrik 'FeTiSh' Christensen.

The team will have big shoes to fill given the success of the previous Reason Gaming lineup but they still have the core of the CPH Games winning lineup, and with two of the most well decorated and highly rated Danish players ever joining the ranks they have everything needed to become just as successful. Both new additions are however returning from spells out of the competitive game and as shown in the past it will take a while for the rust to disappear, when it does it seems we may just have another challenger for team VeryGames.

Statement from v1ctor, FeTiSh and wantz given to Reason Gaming:

Today it is our great pleasure to be able to announce not only the remaining two players for our lineup, but also our new home. Joining us will be Troels "eXce" Kierulff and Danni "rytme" Hansen, two of Henriks old team mates. We approached Troels and Danni some time ago, when we learned about the departure of purity and gravity, and it was clear from day one that we had great chemistry and potential to compete amoungst the best. As for our new home, we have been given the great honour to represent an amazing organisation, Reason-Gaming.

Reason-Gaming have most recently supported one of the best and most stable Counter Strike Source teams, but hopefully we can live up to the name and achieve what they have before us. Thank you to Ben and the rest of the Reason-Gaming management for giving us this oppertunity, i am confident we are going to have a good time together.

Danni "rytme" Hansen also added:

I am stoked about the fact that I now can announce my comeback to competitive gaming. I realised that I could not just play on a casual level cause of my competitive gene and I still feel I am able to contribute with many things to a top team and the new updates to the game made it even more interesting. Therefore I dusted off my mouse and started playing some gathers with my old friend eXce and shortly after we got the offer to trial with the über G33KY boys which we could not say no to. After a couple of days of online cups and practice we all felt we had the chemistry and potential to be a top team and I could not imagine joining a better team nor organisation.

From now on we will be known as Reason Gaming and I cannot express how satisfied I am with this, because they are one of the absolute best, if not the best, organisation to be in. Reason Gaming is run by lovely people and we will strive to achieve greatness and increase the reputation of Reason.

Troels "eXce" Kierulff finished off with:

I am really excited about getting another opportunity to play competitively again, it has been on my mind for quite some time. The reason why I considered playing again was that looking at both old and new lan pictures, watching and following matches and lans, you get to miss the whole psych game in matches at a lan. The thrill about being so close to winning and the opponent team takes another vital round. The strive to be the best. It's all something you truly miss when your away from it, when just being a spectator and even though I hate losing, even that you miss when your away, the whole feeling of wanting to be better all the time gets multiplied by 10 when you lose a tight game. Then there is the most important part of a return, the enjoyment of playing cs with likeminded individuals. "Luckily" there was a split on the Danish scene as I decided to take another shot at playing again, which opened 2 spots on the former über g33kz team. They gave me and rytme the opportunity to play a few cashville cups and pcw's. At the end, we had a good chemistry which led to an offer to join their ranks. I quit approximately 1 year ago, so obviously there is a lot for me to work with now including the new patch. But I have a strong belief that I will adapt rather quickly and hopefully be back at the level I once was.

On top of my return, I am glad that Reason-Gaming decided to support this team so that we from now on can call ourselves a part of Reason-Gaming. Reason-Gaming are in my eyes one of the major companies on the CSS scene, with a very friendly staff and very reliable in terms of organizing. I have honestly never heard a negative word about Reason-Gaming.

A big THANKS to FeTiSh, v1ctor and wantz for letting me and rytme have another shot at competitive css and a very special thanks to Reason-Gaming for supporting us.
