As leading champions of the Clanbase Nations Cup, Germany announced doubtful news that both their key players named Navid 'Kapio' Javadi and Manuel 'Tixo' Makohl have left the national team. If they were influenced by each other to leave the team isn't stated - but it's questionable since both of them are playing for mousesports.

The reason given for their defection was written by Kapio in a forum thread, saying that the national team has a hard schedule and certainly the weak results when it comes to official matches as well as practice matches. Another reason given, is that ESWC Grand Finals are closely scheduled with the ENC event, giving both him and Tixo insufficient time to prepare. Kapio is also mentioning the inability of uniting the national teamplay with the players' own teamplay as two-thirds of Germany.CS consists of ALTERNATE aTTax-players.

Germany started out this season of European Nations Championship with a quite surprising loss against Spain, which was regarded as one of the weakest teams in the main round on beforehand. Fortunately, they have managed to maintain their chances of qualifying to the finals for now, after a safe victory against Finland yesterday - with Martin 'fleks' Wehrmann and
Nils 'bara' Waldowski as two new additions.

This is the current line-up of Germany.CS:

Manuel 'approx' Zeitz
David 'CHEF-KOCH' Niagel
Jan 'mooN' Stolle
Benjamin 'paN' von Mulert
Nils 'bara' Waldowski
Martin 'fleks' Wehrmann
