A year with many changes. After we fell into the Closed Qualifier of the DPC WEU last season, a lot has happened. So there have been some changes within the team.
DPC WEU Tour 1: At the beginning of the year there was the first major upheaval of our team when among others Fabian „Mo13ei“ Knehr, one of our key players, moved to rival Ancient Tribe. But also Alexandr „pio65“ Zalivako and Mathias „OwnedMe“ Huynh left the squad.
DPC WEU Tou2: In Tour 2 we were joined by Arslan „XANNI“ Shadzhanov, Adam „Ade“ Konicek and Igor „Stojkov“ Stojkov. Despite a strong performance during the season, such as the win against PuckChamp and the 1-2 against Team Secret, we were not able to secure the class preservation. So it was clear that we have to use our second chance in the Closed Qualifiers to participate in Tour 3 and The International Regionals.
DPC WEU Tour 3: For the 3rd Tour and the upcoming Closed Qualifier, we had to completely restructure the team for various reasons. Since one of our long-time key players, namely Jan „Qupe“ Tinnemeier, has retired from the active competitive scene, the current team was formed around our German-speaking veteran Jonas Vincent „jmn“ Matz. (Foundation of the new roster: May 12. 2023)
