Sway Gaming CS 1.6 team makes roster changes.
Sway adds Mike “fluaxoN” Kirkham and Chris “vehemeNs” Kim, with the departue of Mike “cozen” Strachan.

The Canadian team decided to make a roster change, replacing Mike “cozen” Strachan with Mike “fluaxoN” Kirkham to the starting roster for upcoming CEVO-Pro Placement and CAL-Invite as well as WCG Canada 2008.

“Unfortunately, some of the teammates felt the atmosphere in and out of the game was not the best for the team with Mike “cozen” Strachan. So the team decided it would be better to replace him, instead of everything getting worst.” Ian Olson, the team owner, informed GotFrag.com

Replacing Strachan, will be Mike “fluaxoN” Kirkham, who in the past played with Dave “heller” Marentette on dFactor. Kirkham will be playing with Sway in the CEVO-P Placement, CAL-Invite Season, and WCG Canada 2008. Also joining Sway is none other than, Chris “vehemeNs” Kim. After Glimpse of Reality died, Kim has been playing with Sway members and getting along well.

“After seeing how he got along with the other players, I decided to pick him up as our 6th player, since he could not attend WCG Canada with us in August. He is very knowledgeable about the game, inside and out, he will be helping Sway with strats as well as the team coach,” said Olson.

Mike "cozen" Strachan will be playing out the CEVO OCZ Tournament with the Sway lineup, in hopes of getting to the finals for the prizes. Sway will also like to wish Strachan the best of luck in all of his future en devours.
