Winterfox have announced the additions of Kyle "flowsicK" Mendez and Derek "desi" Branchen to their CS:GO team.

The announcement was made together with SteelSeries, with which Winterfox has agreed an unprecedented partnership as their CS:GO team will train full-time inside the Chicago headquarters of the gaming manufacturer.

Winterfox's team had been depleted to just four players following the departure of Jacob "⁠pyth⁠" Mourujärvi in the aftermath of a failed qualification campaign for DreamHack Open Cluj.

It has now been revealed that Jonatan "⁠Devilwalk⁠" Lundberg has also stepped down from the team, which he had joined in July, when they were still playing under Luminosity.

Replacing the two Swedish players will be Kyle "⁠flowsicK⁠" Mendez, who was on lookout for a new team after being released by Liquid, and Derek "⁠desi⁠" Branchen, formerly of iBUYPOWER and Nihilum.

"SteelSeries has given us everything a team could possibly want, in terms of both sponsorship stability, and a world-class training facility,” Alex “LeX” Deily said on the partnership with SteelSeries. "The idea is bold, and although there were obstacles to accomplish a completely new type of partnership, we’re ready to rise to the challenge as a solidified team."
