Following their disappointing finish at the ESEA S5 LAN Finals, Team EG kicked up some dust when they leaked some major roster changes that first involved dropping Ryan 'sycknesS' Mitchell and Tony 'pheLon' DiDomenico and potentially picking up Brandon 'Seagull' Larned and Sven 'Ruwin' Z to come in as the new Solider & Scout. Things got a little more complicated as time passed, with Ruwin possibly moving to Medic and other key members of EG talking of maybe taking a step back due to real life pressures.
Though a lot of names were brought up and a great deal of class shifting was contemplated behind closed doors, EG TF2 officially confirmed their new roster tonight with the return of pheLon - who was going to backup on Mindbomb - and former EG star, Brandon 'yaug' Yauger.
"Things got a little crazy for a while there, but in the end it's all about being comfortable and happy while playing, so we decided to bring back yaug, & pheLon," Dan 'destro' Schwartz said. "With this lineup, we can stay competitive but still keep it fun, which is what we wanted the most in the end."
The new pickups mean Adam 'Reptile' Dopko will end up moving to Scout with Paul 'CyZeR' S, while yaug & pheLon will Soldier.
