This is just an official welcome to Anthony "Ar3s" Christou and Mitch "GiANT" Janke into the Exile5 family. They were both recently picked up by the CSS team to replace the departing dripski and Moeycq.

After our victories in almost every competition we entered which included a nationals LAN win, a cyber gamer professional title, and a couple of ODC wins it is unfortunate that we found ourselves replacing two of the guys that had really been through a lot with this team.

After discussing with what was left of the team a possible retirement was on the cards and putting the team on the back burner was almost certain. However, after a spurt of keen'ness from yours truly I decided I would like to give the team another shot and try to replace the guys that left and get back on track obviously aiming to be the best team in Australia.

Anthony was one of the players I wanted to pickup from the very start and luckily for us was quite keen to play css after a break since nationals where he was one of qlimax's best players for the tournament. Mitch is one of my oldest and very best friends that I've played with in several teams over the years. He combines his aim and smarts with his incredible team play and LAN ability.

Luckily for us, I believe we've picked up two of the most underrated players in Australia. As such, we will probably fly under the radar for most competitions we play - but we realise that this suits us better than being on top. While we lost our "star" players in dripski and Moeycq, since the change I've found we've been a better team and this culminated in the victory over voxe in the cyber gamer turbo competition (though only group stages).

With finals coming up for this competition the team is going to be practicing to try and take the win away from the new immunity team which will almost surely make the finals.

If you see Mitch or Anthony around on mumble or on the forums make sure you give them a big welcome as they are our css stars of the future.
