Det nya laget, som går under namnet Raw Gaming, har följande laguppställning:
Lagets IRC-kanal är #raw-gaming och hemsidan finns på den originella adressen raw-gaming.com där intervjuer med spelare också finns tillgängliga. Fragbite har en egen intervju med archie som ni kan läsa här.
Namnet Raw Gaming kommer av pokerföretaget Rawpoker, som står bakom laget och kommer att bidra med resor, hårdvara och löner. I ett uttalande kallar man samarbetet för "ett av de största sponsorskapen någonsin inom gaming". Det verkar klart att man kommer att ha möjlighet att ta sig till många evenemang under 2006, men någon information om vilka man satsar på eller vilket som kommer att bli lagets debutevenemang får vi vänta på.allen

After several months of discussions with Rawpoker.com and our players, it feels great to present the partnership to the media today. The gaming industry has been on a huge development the past months, and this shows that we are on the right step. The players who will represent Raw Gaming/rawpoker is a team combining both experienced players and raw new talent. I see big potential in the team, and I'm convinced that the team will be fighting with the best teams in the world from day one. The cooperation with rawpoker, means a lot to Raw Gaming, and they have made it possible for us to attend so many upcoming events in 2006. I would like to thank Mike, owner of Rawpoker.com, who has made all this possible for us.

Playing games online is a serious thrill that million of players does everyday. No mather if it's poker or Counter Strike we play it for the same reason, to win. As a poker player you know the feeling you get when you pick up a big pot. This is the same serious thrill you get when you kill the last person left of the counter terrorist. When RawPoker was offered to be the head sponsor to a team with some of the worlds best CS-players it was hard to say no. Because we really like winners! :) After some short discussions between RawPoker and Jonas "cederman" Cederholm Raw-Gaming started to take form. And now it's finally time to reveal our team to world!

This mix between experienced and less experienced players brought together feels good and at the same time very challenging. The team seems to have a lot of potential and with the support of Rawpoker.com we'll have the resources to train and play versus the best. The collaboration between players and Rawpoker has gone very smoothly and we all look forward to the competitions that are waiting. "
