Orbit Confirm FM & Infused Player Loss

Rumours came to light yesterday that two of the UKs best performing sides, Team Infused and fm-eSports, were set to lose their two high profile Dutch players to a new roster supported by Team Orbit. The former Infused coach Neil “NeiL_M” Murphy was also linked with the move, supposedly having personally approached the players in question after being turned down by fm-eSports.

Team Orbit have now confirmed that they have indeed acquired a new roster including Mike “mikeS” Tuns and Joey “CRUC1AL“ Steusel, with the former Infused coach at the helm.

This move leaves fm-eSports down to three, and Team Infused down to a maximum of four, however reports of the departure of George “hudzG” Hoskins have also been mentioned. If this the case, this would leave the UK’s two most rated teams as follows:

fm-eSports:

Neil “nEiLZiNHo” Finlay

Phil “Whindanski” Nicholas

Brandon “weber” Weber

Team Infused:

James “redSNK” Littlewood

Aaron “AaroN” Hemmings

George “ZED” Bear

With under a week left before both teams must compete in the ESL UK Premiership, stand-ins are expected to be announced shortly.

Update: George “hudzG” Hoskins has confirmed that he will be playing out the ESL UK Premiership with Team Infused.
