ParanOid, White-Ra out of mouz, Dreiven joins up

mousesports announces changes in their roster for the new year. They let Rafal "ParanOid" Kantowicz go and will not sign Alex "White-Ra" Krupnyk again, while their former member Grzegorz "Dreiven" Kordek decides to rejoin.

ParanOid, a very talented StarCraft Brood War player and former member of the legendary Templars of Twilight, parts his way with the most accomplished European team, mousesports. The management's mentioned reason is that "ParanOid is not able to maintain enough time for [their] internal practice schedule."

The Pole does not retire, rather he teams up with the French team aAa, being the third non-French player besides Thomas "kAra" Ciolak, and Artur "Nerchio" Bloch. Frederick "Kaoru" Gau, team manager, is happy that ParanOid decided to play under the French flag. Although ParanOid has not shown much recently, Kaoru sees potential in him, and thinks that he is among the best European Zerg players.

While ParanOid leaves mousesports, the successful StarCraft Brood War player Dreiven rejoins his former team. Showing good performance in the StarCraft 2 Beta and in the current mousesports ladder ranking, the team management is proud to sign once again with the Polish Protoss.

At last, the management says that they considered to partner with the Beast of the East White-Ra once again but decided against it for this year. White-Ra decided to leave mousesports for duckload.com in 2010, now the mousesports management wants to focus on developing their young players.

Statement of StarCraft 2 Team Manager Robin "Bumblebee" Nymann:
"We achieved great success in 2010. Our goal for 2011 is nothing less than to keep our position as one of the best teams in the world. For the 2011 team we’ve decided not to make a lot of changes, but there is some. We are parting ways with one of our Zerg players, ParanOid, who is now playing for the French team, aAa. With the loss of ParanOid, we have resigned with our old SC:BW player, Dreiven.

I think 2011 is gonna be a great and exciting year for Starcraft II, and we’ll definitely be striving to fulfill and reach the expectations we and our fans have to our team. I’d like to thank everyone for their support, especially ours sponsors. I’m looking forward to a great year."
