The Swedish organisation 30P Gaming have announced changes in their Counter-Strike:Source team. The roster has been put together as the side look to stabilise the team ahead of the EPS Nordic season.

11 months ago Tobias "fnx" Öhlund left the team because he felt that the team would do better without him but after that the team haven't been able to find permanent 5th player.

The team went to four different LANs with different stand-in players and did well at Copenhagen Games where they placed 5/6th after some great matches. The team then had a break for few months as Oscar "XperteN" Westling went to work in Dublin for a while.

When XperteN came back, the team started to look for new permanent 5th player from Sweden but without any results, not a long after that a long time member of the team, Alexander "fOLKE" Bengtsson left them due to real life commitments and suddenly the team had two spots to fill.

After some games with Thomas "shadoN3i" Duitsch, Lars "Larryyy" Springeling and Koen "breakah" Strijder, the team has decided to add these three dutch players to their team for the upcoming ESL EPS Nordic and ESL EMS seasons. The team will be playing with six man lineup on both tournaments.

Andreas "maj0r" Major explained the move exclusively to Cadred:

We went to Copenhagen Games without any practise what so ever with Helblinde as a standin. It was our fourth lan in a row with a different/new fifth.
We had a break for a few month since XperteN went to work in Dublin but we decided to play again when he got back.
We've always had huge problems finding a proper fifth to play with, and when Alexander (fOLKE) left the team due to real life commitments we suddenly had two spots to fill.

We looked around for swedish players at first but couldn't find a caller nor a stable fifth that fit our needs, and when we got in contact with the dutchies we actually had fun playing (for once), so we figured we might as well try it out.

30P Gaming is currently playing in EPS Nordic Season 3 and they are playing against Swedish team H2k at tomorrow evening, see our match ticker for more details.

Oscar "XperteN" Westling
