Lanklan: GeT_RiGhT, FYRR73, khrystal, qp and threat.
Evilzone (mix): Kvicken^awp and four others which i dont remember.
the reason why kvicken's team have a wildcard is because the orga kept the wildcard when lanklan played for them. So Evilzone decided to use their wildcard on a mixteam who will play under their name. :)
