With the recent roster shakeup in the uNtouchables camp the organization was looking for a way to solidify the teamwork of its new squad. After officially moving to source in January, the additional challenge of learning the new game put pressure on the team to quickly get their act together and rebound from their poor performance at Winter CPL, where they failed to make it into bracket play.

Today, Ronnie "PHAM" Radke, owner of the uNtouchables, looks to be taking a huge step in bringing his new lineup to the same level of teamwork that the former roster was known for by announcing the “uNtouchable House” in Dallas, Texas. A five bedroom home in which the five members will have living quarters and a dedicated practice area to provide consistent preparation for this upcoming summer LAN season. While some teams have been known to bootcamp for short periods of time, this will bring that effort to a whole new level.

Beginning next week, all of the starters will be living in the house. PHAM and vaL are already on site and Timmy will be flying in next week from Sweden to join them; bzrk will be flying in as well from Florida. Aaeru lives close by in Houston and will join the rest of the team sometime in the next few days. The other members of the team which include RigG3d, echo, mkb and redd will be dropping in once a week as backups to get things straight.

The choice of Dallas was logical based on geographic location of the team. Three of the members were already living in Texas and PHAM needed a permanent place to live in America. Bringing in bzrk was the final step. The uNtouchables wanted to get serious about forming the top Counter-Strike: Source team in the world and if this situation produces the results they desire, that vision may be realized.

While the house is primarily a team practice location, it will also serve as the uNtouchables base of operations in which they will produce their coverage material as well as media content such as movies and galleries.
