After the news that the Infused lineup had left the org that they had recently signed up to, there was instant speculation of to where they were off to play for next. Not long after the post was released, it was announced that they would be heading to NerdRage, after their previous line-up went their separate ways.
Heading into NerdRage will see both Whindanski and Neil_M be re-united with one of their former colleague Joey “CRUC1AL” Steusel, as he comes in to replace Josh “mole” Rowley after some “small issues” that seem to be rectified now. This becomes the fifth name that the majority of this team will be playing under, after coming out as BEASTS at the beginning of the year, to Barrage eSports at epic.17, before being picked up by Team Infused and attending i57 as Rasta.Infused. So moving into NerdRage, this should allow for some stability for the team.

Neil “Neil_M” Murphy and Neil “neilzinho” Finlay had this to say to their new org:
“It’s with great honour today that we officially announce ourselves under NerdRage. We spoke to RUDIAK just after we came back from iSeries and quickly knew together that this was a great choice towards to the future. When we realised the passion & desire to take care of us there was no doubt that this was an easy decision. We come into NerdRage with 1 change with CRUC1AL coming in place of mole. We feel Joey is such a unique talent and when he became available we decided to bring him onboard and reunited with NeiL_M from his Infused days in 2015. We had small issues between members and Josh but are confident we will see him at the top again in the near future! Also coming onboard as our manager will be Sliggy. We feel Connor has such a great brain inside/outside the game to help us both coming into big official games & to promote us all as a brand. Sliggy also has the experience as Coach/Manager of EZSkins to push us all in the correct way coming into the bright future for us! I’d also like to wish James & his boys all the best in their future they are a very talented bunch We’ve only heard amazing things about NerdRage from the previous team and as a brand in general. This is an amazing chance for us to really achieve the goals and get the UK on the map into the EU scene. We are certain of a long & successful relationship for both parties and we really can’t wait to get going here at NerdRage.”
The side are set to take part in European competition, heading up into the Game Show Spring Invitational, replacing the spot that was currently held by the previous squad and potentially more in the future.
The line-up that is heading to NerdRage are:
- Philip “Whindanski” Nicholas
- Som “s0m” Haddow
- Kia “Surreal” Man
- Neil “neilzinho” Finlay
- Joey “CRUC1AL” Steusel
- Neil “NeiL_M” Murphy (coach)
- Connor “Sliggy” Bloomfield (manager)
