Raptor Gaming merges with Praetoriani

The German-based organisation Raptor Gaming have signed two Sweden national players KnOfF and LiiLD.C from Praetoriani, while the other three are out of luck.



Fredrik 'KnOfF' Knopf and Daniel 'LiiLD.C' Claesson, had been solid bones of nGize in the WC3L Season XIV campaign before making their move to Raptor Gaming today, combined collecting more than half of their total 22 points at the end of the season. They in the meantime have enjoyed numbers of outings in various international events with KnOfF winning his first title in DreamHack Winter this year.

In Raptor Gaming, they will line up with fellow Sweden national player Marcus 'Thorzain' Eklöf and German pair Tim 'HLA' Gebel and Daniel 'TryDying' Zuzanski, whose team-mate Alexander 'iNSoLeNCE' Hein will be like joining Tobias 'ReiGn' Muth in aX eSports in the near future, cited myMYM.

Apart from the Swedish pair, Raptor Gaming also get a place in WC3L Season XV, which seems to play a major part of the deal after they failed to re-qualify for the league, losing to nGize in the relegation playoffs and EYE Sports as well as Mousesports in the qualifier.

After the size of our line up decreased by 50% we had to look for some new strong players, who could help us getting a more important role in the international scene. With LiiLD.C and KnOfF we found two really great players who - I am pretty sure about this - will be great reinforcements for our team. They already could gain a lot of experience in the international scene and especially the WC3L, so together with HLA, TryDying an Thorzain we will have a hefty German-Swedish line up. Our aims are mainly a strong performance in the WC3L with a look at the playoffs and the first ranks in the PL and WPL.

After a long period of searching and asking around, I am happy to join our new organisation Team RAPTOR-GAMING. Of course I am sad to say goodbye to 3 teammates who also made us where we are now, however I am sure with their capacity they are more then able to find a new team fast. With Raptors players and ours we have a strong team and we hope to reach some high places in the leagues we participate. Happy New year to all and best wishes for 2009.


The other three players in Praetoriani, Martin 'Bonecracker' Hušák, Silviu 'Nightend' Lazar and Juha-Matti 'Satiini' Bäckström will however go into new year teamless as they will not follow their former team manager Jaco “Lloth” van Dijk in the new team.
