New Cool Collective are gunning for Dutch control

New Cool Collective saw a line-up that could potentially pose a threat for the BeNeLux scene and the Antwerp Esports Festival saw them placed in the arguably most difficult group. They were better than Team Infused, though, and could fight another day. Their adventure was short-lived though, with a close 11-13 loss to TCM-Gaming and the exit out of the tournament.

In the weeks after their performance, the team lost both Danny "DEKO" Meeuwsen and Mathias "MaThY" Spiessens to rival teams in the scene and had to recover quickly, should they still wish to do well at the Frag-O-Matic event a couple of weeks afterwards.

After searching for players in the vicinity, the players came up with a solution that involved bringing back players from inactivity. First up, the team saw Tom "gunner" van Es return from a busy period at school to become a full-time player for the team. He will be picking up the AK47 and try and support the team as best as possible from now on, hopefully he can avoid having to go inactive due to school issues and try and become a solid addition to the team.

The second addition will be Pascal "pscl" Fien who is mostly known for having played for NCE.I3D throughout the Summer of 2009. After his spell at the European team, he retreated and took a break from the active Call of Duty 4 scene. He has now returned and will be looking to participate at the Frag-O-Matic event with his newfound team.

New Cool Collective now features the following five:

Bart "Wizard" van den Berk
Simon "Slymon" Kosse
Melvin "Raven" van Doorn
Pascal "pscl" Fien
Tom "gunner" van Es

 

Statement by Bart "Wizard" van den Berk about the two new players:

" After the Antwerp Esports Festival, we parted ways with Mathias 'Mathy' Spiessens, due to some disagreements. In our search for a fifth player, we lacked some activity and eventually Danny 'Deko' Meeuwsen left to join up with Rage Gaming. The remainder of the team wanted to stick together, and so we decided to keep on looking. We hoped to find players who were willing to put an effort in the teamplay. We had to look for an SMG and an assault player, after Melvin 'Raven' van Doorn stated he felt more comfortable playing in the role of SMG. After trying out a fair few players, we decided to bring in Tom 'gunneR' van Es as an assault player, with whom Simon 'Slymon' Kosse and I had some history whilst playing in MouseFX and GameCloud. This left us in search for a suitable SMG to finish the Lineup. After playing with Pscl- for a night, we were extremely satisfied. I feel Pscl- is more than capable to help us progress as a team. We will be attending Frag-O-Matic 12.1 together. I would like to make use of this occasion by thanking Danny and Mathias for their hard work."
