Die deutsche Organisation hinter Playing Ducks verpflichtet mit sofortiger Wirkung das komplette Lineup von nEophyte. Das Aufgebot um Team-Captain Joná ‚Jonz‘ Rech wird sich zwar in Zukunft auf den heute erscheinenden Shooter CS:GO konzentrieren, doch ein weiteres Engagement in Counter-Strike 1.6 ist nicht ausgeschlossen.
Playing Ducks beheimatete schon einmal das Duo bestehend aus Tomá ‚oskar‘ tastný und Joná ‚Jonz‘ Rech. Beide Tschechen versuchten sich in der EAS Summer 2011 am Aufstieg in die ESL Pro Series.
Als Gründe für den Wechsel gibt man gegenüber HLTV.org unter anderem nicht eingehaltene Versprechen von nEophyte an. Unter anderem sollte das Team zur diesjährigen GameGune geschickt werden, was aber nicht geschah.

I’m very excited about joining Playing Ducks today. It’s a well now orga and I had the pleasure to work with them in the past. We believe in the team and it’s abilities to compete with the best players in the world. But I’m more excited about the new era which is waiting for us. It seems that CS:GO is going to be one of the main titles in future eSport and I’m happy to be a part of it with such a great team.

We are really excited to this big step into „new era“ of Counter-Strike. I’m glad we finally found a new orga with great management staff. We’re looking forward to play CS:GO and show everyone that we are capable of fighting on international scene. Hopefully everything works out well. Keep your eyes on us and the Playing Ducks!

I am proud and very excited about this move. We are one of the best teams in Czech republic and I really believe in this team. I’m sure we can be one of the top teams in CS;GO. I rely on our players to show that, they are very nice team, and very good friends whether in-game or outside. Also I must say a big THANKS to Playing Ducks, and because they trust in us.
