Statement from Michael "Chef" Robinson:

After poor results at IG5 and i33 , I and the management felt that we needed to make changes within the Counter-Strike: Source area of TLR. Today we annouce with great pleasure the addition of the Animate CSS team. This team is a long standing team with a history of good results, both online and at lan events. This team has great potential and we feel they can be one of the top teams in Europe,

We are grateful for the opportunity to represent TLR in Counter-Strike Source and we'd like to thank the management for chosing our team over the other squads that applied. Despite temptations from other parties, I knew that The Last Resort was the right choice for my players." He continued, "We look forward to continuing the same strong form that we have shown at previous i-series competitions with the aid of our new organisation." Finally, Jones finished off saying, " I'd also like to extend my gratitude to 'sirmick' and 'Voodou' of Animate Gaming, who were excellent throughout our time there and understanding of our departure. Good luck in whatever they persue next.
