mTw announces squad reformation
mTw's Dota 2 division announces two new players as its original 4 Swedish core players are cut in half. The departure of Matrim and Kuronity was quite unexpected as the quartet have played together for a long time together. But, with the team performing mostly under par throughout the month of January, the changes were needed according to the team in order to stay on top of the Dota 2 scene. Their replacements are none other than Bentzer, another Swede formerly of DIPS, who have played as standin in one of their game, and Tulex, a Slovakian who made his name playing for SGC.
Team captain Troels 'Synderen' Nielsen said,
It is with sadness that I, pepp3 and Grunt say goodbye to Matrim and kuronity as far as mTw goes. The two have played with and known pepp3 and Grunt for years, while I myself have played with them for a few months in addition to playing with kuronity for a while quite a long time ago. In the time we have been together, I feel I have become good friends with both of them, and their past with pepp3 and Grunt speaks for itself. Releasing friends from a team is never easy, and we are not doing this without resting assured that it is the decision we want to make. In other words, this is not a decision of impulse—it is not rushed. We cherish our friendship, but the objective for this team is to compete at the absolute top of the Dota 2 scene, and we are therefore adjusting to what we believe to be a stronger roster for the future.We have come to the conclusion that we as a team cannot unlock our full potential with the current roster. We will be taking in BENTZER and Tulex from Sweden and Slovakia respectively, both of whom we have played with a lot and whom we deem to fit excellently inside the team – in terms of personality as well as performance and experience. With them on board, we will be able to maintain a higher, more dedicated training activity with more motivation, have more flexibility in drafting, and be able to perform on a higher level with more stability in our games.We wish Matrim and kuronity the best of luck for the future, and want to thank them for their efforts and some great shared memories. We welcome BENTZER and Tulex and look forward to working with them to achieve our future goals.
Their latest acquisitions also added,
BENTZER: I very feel excited about joining mTw. I feel very confident playing with all of them because I've all been in the same team as everyone apart from Tulex earlier in esu, DTi, and DIPS (m81). We'll do our best to reach the top in the Dota 2 scene.
Tulex: I’m very happy to join mTw, I was playing over 4 years at the Czech/Slovakian team SGC, but after we disbanded a while ago I was kind of dreaming of joining an English-speaking international team. So not only am I joining one now, but also the sponsoring steps up a notch with mTw being one of the most famous e-sports clans around. I believe with our hard work we will battle for the top of the world of Dota 2. Besides various tournaments, I think that after the last ‘The International’ it has become a dream of everyone playing competitive Dota 2 to attend this tournament and fight for million-high prize money another time, and this is mine as well. I feel like there is a bright future ahead of us, both at LAN and online.
