Epsilon eSports has announced that they will be replacing their former player Joey "fxy0" Schlosser with CS 1.6 legend Christophe “sixeR” Xia.
Schlosser joined the team earlier this year, replacing Valentin "mistou" Balbastro and has since helped the team reach major victories in many tournaments. However, Epsilon has announced that they will be replacing him due to attitude reasons.
Greg "Slick" Champagne, Epsilon eSports' CEO has made a statement about the roster change:
This lead on to the difficult task to find a new 5th player, and we are extremely excited to announce the CS 1.6 legend Christophe “sixeR” Xia will be jumping in. With a strong desire to return and 100% commitment, we will give him the necessary tools for what we hope will be another brilliant professional gaming career.”
Xia will be attending SLTV StarSeries XI LAN Finals later this week on October 18 at the Kiev CyberArena in Kiev, Ukraine with the rest of the Epsilon team. Additionally, Gordon "Sf" Giry will not be able to attend this tournament. Standing in for him will be the Turkish star Engin "MAJ3R" Kupeli, who has subbed for the team previously.
Epsilon eSports will now have the following starting roster:
Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom
Robin "GMX" Stahmer
Kevin "Uzzziii" Vernel
Gordon "Sf" Giry
Christophe "sixeR" Xia
