After a more than impressive performance at the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7, finishing second behind fnatic, Reason Gaming has announced a somewhat expected roster change.Leaving the British based team is
revoltz, who will be retiring from competitive gaming due to real life commitments, a decision that was already made before the CIC7 event.
Replacing the long time Reason Gaming member is Jason "
lookzor" Perez O'Connor, brother of SoCLoN. Despite parenthood, Lookzor, a former member of amongst others Team Dignitas and Reason Gaming, has found enough time to make a comeback and will be present at the SteelSeries eSport Challenge in Copenhagen, Denmark in six weeks from now.

Statement from departing player, revoltz: Happy and sad. After playing so well at CiC7 I have decided to step down from gaming and hence the Reason CoD4 team. After joining in February last year from Infused I have had a fantastic time with great highs and some lows. The organization and players are the best I have had the pleasure to work with, special thanks goes to Ben who is more than just a manager in my eyes.
Knowing their replacement for me I have no fears that the team will move on from strength to strength, and with a busy season ahead I wish them all the best in the future. Final thanks go out to our two main sponsors, Razer and Sapphire, who have supported me completely to events across Europe for thirteen months – without them none of this would have been possible.
Statement Jason "lookzor" Perez O'Connor: "Just to get one thing out the way, "#eu1 is back". Greatful for #eu2 and #eu3 (aka vanner and soclon) to hold the fort while I was gone for so long, I'll greatfully take my spot back now. In all seriousness, it's great to be back after a 6 month inactive period where I've had other personal problems in my life which had to be sorted (mini lookzor). But hey I guess other members of the team could relate to this eh duff? ;) It's great to be back full of motivation and ready to win some lans!
I'm thanking Reason, dallow and the guys for taking me onboard and picking me up. Though they only did it cuz tim quit :P Shoutouts to my girlfriend, family and everyone who encouraged me to get back into professional gaming. So that I may earn the required income to allow our family to live the life of superstars. I'm almost in tears from this great opportunity, and I shall grab it with every inch on my finger and hand :P
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood."
