Changing rosters in both teams

New players for Dota 2 and CS:S

We welcome new players to our teams in Counter-Strike: Source and Dota 2. To keep our skill on top we have hired new persons. But this means, that we have to say goodbye to three other good players and friends. At the same time we have to let go Sebastian 'Matrim' Sundström and Björn 'Kuronity' Forsberg from the Dota 2 - team as well as Lars 'miniT' Mohr from the Counter-Strike: Source - team.

In our german Counter-Strike: Source - team we would like to welcome Kenyon 'KenaN' Temmel. The 22 year old from Frankfurt is like Christian 'crisby' Schmitt the second, former Counter-Strike 1.6 - player we now have in our source - team. Welcome, Kenyon. He will replace Lars 'miniT' Mohr. Unfortunately, due personal reasons, Lars does not have the time for eSport anymore. We wish him all the best for the feature. Goodbye, Lars. Thank you very much.

There are new players in our Dota 2 - team, too. To keep playing on the top of Europes Dota 2 - scene we had to make a dicision. The management and team-captain Troels 'syndereN' Nielsen came to the point to farewell longterm fellows and friends Sebastian 'Matrim' Sundström and Björn 'Kuronity' Forsberg. Both will be replaced by Michal 'Tulex' Zima (Slovakia) and Tobias 'BENTZER' Bentzer (Sweden). "As always it is a hard step to make when you let players go. Over the last two weeks syndereN and I have talked about the team as recently the results went downhill. We from mTw trust Troels 100% in what he thinks is the best to have success with this team and so we made some changes to the roster", mTw-manager Christopher 'rukie' Pawlowski commented the change. We wish Sebastian and Björn all the best for their future and hope that they will succeed. Thank you guys very much. Goodbye!

Statement by Troels 'syndereN' Nielsen

"It is with sadness that I, pepp3 and Grunt say goodbye to Matrim and kuronity as far as mTw goes. The two have played with and known pepp3 and Grunt for years, while I myself have played with them for a few months in addition to playing with kuronity for a while quite a long time ago. In the time we have been together, I feel I have become good friends with both of them, and their past with pepp3 and Grunt speaks for itself. Releasing friends from a team is never easy, and we are not doing this without resting assured that it is the decision we want to make. In other words, this is not a decision of impulse—it is not rushed. We cherish our friendship, but the objective for this team is to compete at the absolute top of the Dota 2 scene, and we are therefore adjusting to what we believe to be a stronger roster for the future.We have come to the conclusion that we as a team cannot unlock our full potential with the current roster. We will be taking in BENTZER and Tulex from Sweden and Slovakia respectively, both of whom we have played with a lot and whom we deem to fit excellently inside the team – in terms of personality as well as performance and experience. With them on board, we will be able to maintain a higher, more dedicated training activity with more motivation, have more flexibility in drafting, and be able to perform on a higher level with more stability in our games.We wish Matrim and kuronity the best of luck for the future, and want to thank them for their efforts and some great shared memories. We welcome BENTZER and Tulex and look forward to working with them to achieve our future goals."

Statement by Tobias 'BENTZER' Bentzer

"I very feel excited about joining mTw. I feel very confident playing with all of them because I've all been in the same team as everyone apart from Tulex earlier in esu, DTi, and DIPS (m81). We'll do our best to reach the top in the Dota 2 scene."

Statement by Michal 'Tulex' Zima

"I’m very happy to join mTw, I was playing over 4 years at the Czech/Slovakian team SGC, but after we disbanded a while ago I was kind of dreaming of joining an English-speaking international team. So not only am I joining one now, but also the sponsoring steps up a notch with mTw being one of the most famous e-sports clans around. I believe with our hard work we will battle for the top of the world of Dota 2. Besides various tournaments, I think that after the last ‘The International’ it has become a dream of everyone playing competitive Dota 2 to attend this tournament and fight for million-high prize money another time, and this is mine as well. I feel like there is a bright future ahead of us, both at LAN and online."
