TEK9 welcomes new FIFA players

It has been a quiet few months for our FIFA team after the culmination of the FIWC, however today we are very happy to announce the addition of six extremely talented FIFA PC players to the newly formed PC-team. They will join the console players and take up a more active role, playing all major online leagues as well as attending every offline event.

The new team features a perfect mix of seasoned players and up and coming talent, which with time, we hope will flourish into a force to be reckoned with throughout the whole of Europe.

After AEF we were particularly impressed with the performance of Jeroen “ Ackkie” Jennen, who, although only 15 years of age, showed great skill and maturity to grab a 4th place finish amongst tough competition. This is what he had to say about the move:

” I'm pleased to join TEK9 Networks, I heard a lot about them also because they are based in the benelux.  This will be my first big step into my eSports career. I had a lot of good clans before but never one like TEK9. I hope I can get a lot of experience in this team and also I hope that our FIFA squad can put TEK9 more and more in the limelight of eSports"

Jeroen will be joined by former DOK star Rollo who put in a strong performance to reach the finals of the World Cyber Games NL, along with other DOK players Nepistier, JonasL, Maxos and Special1st

TEK9.FIFA is proud to announce their new members who will be joining Andries and Vijay alongside team manager Quest .


Patrick "Rollo" Rol (21), Winner NK-Gaming 2007 and WCG08 NL finalist.
Jeroen "Ackkie" Jennen(15), 4th place AEF and WCG BE finalist
Bart “Nepstier" Warmerdam(23) EPS Benelux Finalist
Max "Maxos" Maaskant (19) 3th place Dutch WCG08 NL and EPS Benelux finalist
Jonas "JonasL" Laursen (17) EPS Denmark player
Jochem "Special1st" (24) EPS Benelux finalist


Statement Ludwin “Quest” de Bruijn: “It is good to see me and Rollo working together after 4 years rivalry. After a long conversation we both decided that working together would benefit us all. With Ackkie it’s like a young player has come back to his roots, as we have worked together a few years ago in the former KnightS* team.
Also players like Maxos, Special1st, Nepstier and our Danish player JonasL will give our team the strength to perform during offline and online events”

Statement Patrick “Rollo” Rol: "Leaving DOK Gaming is not easy, because it's a nice organization and we lots of fun there. But when Tek-9 comes knocking on your door, you can't simply refuse it without listening to what they have to say. I already played the eXperience in Denmark under the flag of Tek-9, spoke with the managers and therefore I knew what to expect of it. I think that joining Tek-9 is a huge step forward for our squad and we're hoping to get some nice results in ESL Pro Series, ESL Major Series and of course the World Cyber Games.”


The team will be making their first public appearance under the TEK9 brand this Wednesday where they will face off against the strong LowLandLions FIFA team in the EMS European Qualifier Finals. I hope you join us in wishing the new players the best of luck and hope they enjoy their stay in TEK9 Networks
