Missed some of the many lineup changes last month? We bring you a recap of all the changes made in July.

On the 1st, Spanish legends x6tence announced changes once again. Borja "GuMmY" Gonzalez had been with the team since April 2009, but has now opted to become inactive, leaving the Spaniards with four active members. 5 days later the team suffered once again as Francisco "FamseK" Alarcon was removed from the team due to personal reasons. Later the same day, x6tence finally announced some positive news as David "theking" Rubio and Victor "xikii" García had joined up and made the team complete. An hour before midnight, the Norwegian squad Online-Kingdom announced disbandment.
