Regarding the move Johnta told HLTV.org:
"This decision was not an easy one, we did not want to change the line-up because when it was created, we thought it would last for a long time.
But unfortunately it turned out that this line-up was not 'on the same wavelength'. All were excellent players, but it did not look like a team. After WCG we had a long conversation about what was happening and tried to find a solution
It is not that v0lt played bad, he was well prepared individually, but again, we did not look like a team. There was no team spirit, we just played hard individually. We are very sorry that we had to part with v0lt, but some times we have to make changes for vital reasons."

Talking of new recruit xaoc he said:
"xaoc is a great player and a highly skilled one, and he is good friend of ANGE1's and has previously played with markeloff. I do not know yet if this was the right decision or not, we hope we are not mistaken."
