After weeks of speculation, G7 side mousesports have announced they have secured the signiature of Magnus "fox" Olsson. The former FPO star left LowLandLions some weeks ago and, after being linked with a number of big names, will now team up with Anton "Cooller" Singov to form a formidable 1v1 roster for the German team.
The pair are both set to feature at the upcoming IEM Dubai event and have even been drawn in the same group along with tournament favourite Shane "rapha" Hendrixson from SK. "fox" was unable to break into the top six at Quakecon but will look to avoid an upset against his new teammate in Dubai and prove he's still a major player in the European Quake scene.
"What made me go for mousesports was probably all the nice things that others have said about the organization and management" explains "fox" in a brief interview on the team's homepage. He describes his current form as "pretty decent" and promises he is eager to "be the first to end [rapha's] reign".

Doesn't ESL reseed the whole thing after the results in the groups?
I know it's single elimination, I just assumed that they would keep the seeding in the playoffs though. Trying to find confirmation now.
Edit-It's best of 5(!), which is cool. Gotta take it's toll on your concentration though. Can't find any confirmation, would hope that they don't scrap or reseed, somewhat takes the point out of the initial seed, surely?

fox > Cooller
Rapha > fox
He will end up 2nd most likely.
