The French shuffle is now clearly announced since we discovered yesterday what could become the new EnVyUs lineup, even though it has yet to be confirmed (editor’s note: xms joined the team’s ESEA account, devoduvek still hasn’t). With Alexandre "xms" Forté leaving, LDLC lost one of its members only a few hours before the submission deadline of the team’s composition for the ESL Pro League. However, according to our sources, the "Fox Spirit" structure is likely to have found a substitute with Matthieu "Maniac" Quiquerez.

Team-LDLC was waiting for the moves of the big French shuffle led by EnVyUs and G2 Esports, they were aiming for Cédric "RpK" Guipouy and Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom to reach the second place of the French hierarchy behind the superteam created by Richard "shox" Papillon and Nathan "NBK" Schmitt. Unfortunately for Team-LDLC, EnVyUs was one step ahead of them with a new team led by Vincent "Happy" Cervoni, moreover, they picked one of the rising player of the French scene : xms.

Maniac back on track.

In a delicate situation, Kévin "Ex6TenZ" Droolans seems to have called Maniac, one of his former teammates from the Titan era, currently playing as a stand-in in Finland with Platinium.se, for the the Assembly Winter. A few months ago, the Swiss player was confessing during an interview that he wished to go back to the French scene and seized the opportunity to do so. Unfortunately, the Millenium project quickly fell apart after two unsuccessful events, during the Paris Games Week and the Acer Predator Masters, but also because of several problems that happened after the arrival of Steve "jarod" Cohen, David "devoduvek" Dobrosavljevic and François "AmaNEk" Delauney.

Contacted by LDLC to form a new team after the splits of White and Blue, Maniac had been moved to the sidelines to the benefit of Ex6TenZ who was just being kicked out of G2 Esports. Nearly one year later, both players are getting back together in this same project, setting aside the disagreements they used to have.

The new version of Team-LDLC will make its debuts during the ESL Pro League on February 9th and play a BO2 against HellRaisers at 9.20pm. To conclude, here what the new lineup should look like from now on :
