Alliance (07.12.2015 confirmed)

-update- Alliance has officially announced the return of Jerry "EGM" Lundkvist to the team and with that the TI3 winning roster is reformed.

According to an announcement on the Alliance official website, Alliance’s support player Johan 'Mynuts' Andersson has parted ways with the squad.

“Today I am happy to announce the return of EGM. Some of you might question this decision. It’s scary to remake a lineup, a lineup that won it all, a lineup that went through tough losses and ended our second year together with disappointment. Some of you might call this a mistake, that looking back is a sign of weakness. But to me it feels like fate. The circle is once again complete and Jerry, you are now back where you belong.” - Jonathan 'Loda' Berg

Jonathan 'Loda' Berg
Henrik 'AdmiralBulldog' Ahnberg
Gustav 's4' Magnusson
Joakim 'Akke' Akterhall
