VIP-Gaming CoD4 takes in a new player

Just before the TLD LAN event Ralf announced that he was about to work in Germany for the next few months. Therefor he wouldn't be able to be online that much until after the summer vacation. So VIP-Gaming went looking for a sutable replacement. It didn't take long before he was found. It is none other than Mik "Champ" Bødker.

After I was kicked out off Team RAVENS, because of some internal stuff, I was planning to stop gaming. But can you really stop when you get an offer from VIP who is the beer team? Nice! They're some cool guys, and I'm looking forward to many laughs and a lot of great wars with these wonderful lads.
- Mik "Champ" Bødker

So VIP-Gaming will still be able to face the various teams in the ClanBase EuroCup wars with a strong lineup.

VIP-Gaming lineup:

Mik "Champ" Bødker
Michel "RB" Nashi
Thomas "Kanaljen" Caspersen
Nikolaj "Laj" Jensen
Nikolaj "VngZ" Vengsgaard
