At the start of this seasons EPS defending champions mTw.mindfactory made a change to their roster as long standing 5th man Andreas 'ph0s' Wicht stepped down from the team to take on an inactive role.

A series of poor performances both online and at LAN has resulted in mTw dropping hugely in peoples estimations as arch rivals Alternate and to a lesser extent Hoorai.Xilence have come to the forefront. This has caused the team to take action as they remove their newest member Patrick 'mEiJin' Kriebus returning to the team in time for the up coming EPS finals will be Andreas 'ph0s' Wicht as they look to defend their title and prove they are still the team to beat in Germany.

Statement Markus "botman" Frey taken from mymtw:

It was certainly not an easy decision, which the team had to make. Andy will continue the remainder of the season for Paddy. The reasons for this remain within the team. How it will continue after the season, we will discuss in the rest of the winter break and ours plans will soon be coming with all together.

Team mTw is now:

Philip 'osirisbash' Kaczmarczyk
Andre 'nooky' Utesch
Florian 'puRit' Dobberphul
Andreas 'ph0s' Wicht
David 'dav1d' Kelling
