The ex-iDemise (00) lineup has been picked up by Back2Back, a fairly new organization with high hopes in the North American scene.

Back2Back has been a source of controversy lately after an ugly split with grid05, another ESEA-invite team, but the organization is hoping to start clean with a brand new roster.

Previously known as iDemise, the team is currently ranked second in ESEA-invite and will be competing in the league's LAN finals, which take place July 25-26 in Dallas, TX. The team will also participate in the WCG Quiver Shoot-Out and Season 11 of CEVO-P.

Michael Albrecht, owner of Back2Back, had this to say about the pickup:

"00 [iDemise] was a great team that I kept an eye on for the whole season - they proved to be a team that can compete with the big guns. I talked to iNERTiA and he seemed to like Back2Back but was also looking through other options. Finally, him and the team decided on coming together with us to become a family. Our goal is to be the top team in North America and be able to compete very well at the international level."

Back2Back's roster:

David 'zid' Chin
Nazar 'steno' Vynnytsky
Joe 'perez' Perez
Alex 'hazard' Martins
Ric 'iNERTiA' Bundy
