Seit dem Beitritt von Andre ’nooky‘ Utesch zu mousesports war im – weiterhin organisationslosen – Team Torqued eine Lücke entstanden. Diese wurde nun vor wenigen Tagen von Elliot ‚wez‘ Welsh gefüllt. Welsh war es in den letzten Monaten durch sein Studium noch nicht möglich, sich CS:GO intensiv zu widmen. Nach einigen Gesprächen und auch Aushilfsspielen in der ESEA Open Division entschied man sich letztendlich für den 23-jährigen Briten.
Zusammen will man sowohl an der i48 Spring 2013 als auch an den Copenhagen Games 2013 teilnehmen. Beide Events finden Ende März statt.
So where did André departing leave us?
Well, firstly folding was never a real option for us. We all got together and spoke about the possibilities after losing nooky, mainly because everyone in the team has put in a lot of time and sacrified a lot no-one was eager to see it go under. After talking about the future for a duration of time we decided that the best option for us would be Elliot „wez“ Welsh. We all spoke to him previously, and after a couple of days of him helping us in ESEA we all felt that it was a natural fit for the team. As you know wez was a key part of our team when we won NorthCon, and despite the fact that unfortunately university kept him from getting into CS:GO earlier he feels now the time is right to give it his all with us.
We had a short period of relative inactivity after mTw closed, which was mainly due to Josh being unable to play because of a lack of accommodation. Now that Josh has been able to get settled in the UK (sorting family, a place to live), in a place where he can safely game away, we will be practicing again at full capacity, which means we are seriously aiming to attend I48 and CPH games. Online we will also do our very best to qualify for the next ESEA Invite Season. To conclude, we couldn’t be happier to have Wez on board and expect great things to come from our cooperation now that were entirely back on track, thank you for all the continuous support.“
