Former team Giants moves to x6tence

ImageThe "Spanish Powerhouse" team formerly playing under Giants has now joined up with Team x6tence to represent at Dreamhack and further competitions.

The Spanish team Giants, consisting of ES Alfonso 'mty' Aguirre, ES Toni 'Rave' de Echeverria and ES Jorge 'thunderr' Romero, failed to achieve too much during its existence, hardly participating in any tournaments and only placing fourth in the final Dreamhack qualifiers (although they eventually got a qualification spot due to another team being unable to attend). Whether it be due to this lack of success or simply little cohesion between players and organization, Giants and the Spanish Powerhouse soon parted ways.

Additionally, Alfonso 'mty' Aguirre was unable to actually play for his team in Dreamhack, primarily due to holidays, although he also admitted that his favourite bloodline, the Spearmaster, simply didn't fit the composition. Now he has officially left the team.

Taking his place, and bringing along a sponsorship, is ES Eric 'Diablo' Murillo, completing the new team:

ES x6tence
ES Eric 'Diablo' Murillo (Capt)
ES Toni 'Rave' de Echeverria
ES Jorge 'thunderr' Romero

Official statement from Diablo (translated from Spanish):

"I am very pleased with the team, I've been playing since Closed Beta, but at that time I only played with foreigners, specifically Dlacour and Khyrez, who have taught me a lot, and after a long period of inactivity I decided to return, this time accompanied by 2 national players who undoubtedly have an incredible talent, and have repeatedly demonstrated as such: Rave and thunderr.

I would like to thank Angel Beldad of x6tence for the opportunity and say that although we only had 1 month of practise we will try to win the DreamHack regardless, and if we don't, no doubt we'll take the next one :)"
