After a quite disappointing end for the 1.6 squad in their recent leagues, we felt that a change was needed in the roster. The previous roster was able to fight in great matches and different competitions. Unfortunately the team was not able to perform on LAN and maybe this has something to do with the recent scores in their matches, but the team was able to finish the Cevo-Main season with a strong record of 14-2 and took the 1st place in the playoff's seeds. More than that, they placed 2nd in the regular season in the 21st Cal-Invite season.

With that being said, it’s in all sadness that we have to release a long time member of the team, Maxime “Parad1s” Paradis and one of our newest addition Yannick “havok” Charron. Both of these players helped the team to go where we are now and it was a tough decision to make in order to fight for the #1 canadian 1.6 squad. We wish them the best of luck in their future as well as their counter-strike career.

We are excited to announce that we were able to come with a deal with John “d00m” Collins and Alex “Revolt” Fiorani. You may remember d00m from the previous roster who took the 2nd place at the World Cyber Games Canada Final. He will be playing from now on with the 1.6 roster and will help them to bring a championship. Revolt may be a new face in the squad as we think he is the perfect player to be the new in-game leader, taking voKal's spot in-game.Alex has some great critical thinking and that will definitely help us in order to achieve our goal, to bring a national title to the team!

"With career stats of over 89 damage a round and a +45 frag to death ratio, Olivier Brazeau is the MVP of NoPression. His play style on offense is slow and methodical. He uses angles to clear spots and works corners to gain access to sites. On defense, he tends to force action through well timed pushes and flanks.

Alongside Kevin "sKz" O'Connor, Brazeau serves as one of NP's key fraggers. He primarily uses rifles, however, he has been known to pick up an AWP from time to time. If you find yourself watching a NP match, it might be a good idea to check him out and witness one the north country's stars in action." -- GotFrag.com
