eSuba.SAPPHIRE with changes

 Element with changes

Element welcome Jake “Jakey” Crozier back into the teams line up after a not so subtle departure after i38. However, Jake “Jakey” Crozie has replaced Ryan “erasus” Williams due to internal conflicts within the team.

Jake is not the only update Element have given us as the Norwegian player Alex “alex” Rude-Evensen, a former Olso Lions player has also joined Element.

The new Element line up is therefore as follows:
 Louis "evz" Evans
 Jake "Jakey" Crozier
 Christopher "Alpha" Bald
 Boudewijn "Aerox" Verleg
 Alex "alex" Rude-Evensen

Statement from Louis "evz" Evans: "Making this move was a hard move to make, Leaving ryan behind was the hardest and took a lot of consideration to do so. Eventually deciding on what we should do, we replaced Ryan with Jake as all-in-all, the reason Jake left was due to Ryan, so we couldnt just let Jake back into the team as it would have caused more problems. But away with the bad news and in with the good. We were looking for a new player after lan and had come across a lot of very talented players, but to say the least Alex is a great pick up for us and we are looking forward to having a very prosperous future with the new addition."

 Violent scene in MW2.

When a very violent scene taken from the Modern Warfare 2 singleplayer campaign was leaked on the Internet it shocked quite a few people. Of course we will not tell you what makes this scene so shocking, but this is the statement by Activision after being questioned about the supposed very violent scene:

“Players have the option of skipping over the scene. At the beginning of the game, there are two ‘checkpoints’ where the player is advised that some people may find an upcoming segment disturbing. These checkpoints can’t be disabled.” - Says the Activision spokesman. “Modern Warfare 2 is a fantasy action game designed for intense, realistic game play that mirrors real life conflicts, much like epic, action movies. It is appropriately rated 18 for violent scenes, which means it is intended for those who are 18 and older.”

 Reason Gaming pick up SoCLoN and dUffER

Yesterday the renowned British eSports organisation, Reason Gaming, have announced their new line up which will battle it out in Modern Warfare 2. Daniel "SoCLoN" Perez O'Connor and Ryan "dUffER" Duffy who will be replacing the former Finnish players, Samuli "sLWx" Kettunen who has decided to stick with his Finnish inheritance and Jyri "kAMMYz" Hogman who decided to play for Reason’s Quake live division.

This is the first time we have seen SoCLoN in a team in a matter of years without his brother, Jason “lookzor” Perez O'Connor, who has other life commitments.

Reason Gaming’s current line-up:
 Chris "Lighters" Lightburn
 Tim "revoltz" Denton
 Tom "D1ablo" Newman
 Danny "SoCLoN" Perez O'Connor
 Ryan "dUffER" Duffy

Statement from Tim "revoltz" Denton to Reason-Gaming.net: "Things didn't really go as well as expected at the end of last season, with a bit of luck on our side and/or better preparation things could've gone way differently but it wasn't to be. Changes had to be made, and with Jyri deciding to step down then the logical choice for the team was a UK based line-up over another EU one.

Both Danny and Duffer were straight forward choices to fill the final two positions after the chaotic spin that happened in dignitas last month. They are experienced players who've been to numerous European events and really need no introduction. Best of all we get on great with each other outside of the game unlike some other teams - which people forget is the most important thing ;)

I'd like to thank Reason, and especially Sapphire and Razer for their continued support. Bring on Newbury."

Although Activision has not made any comment confirming or denying this, it is suggested that the next instalment of CoD4 will be delayed by a fortnight.

 Crack Clan in troubles?

Crack Clan has announced that they have ended the contracts of two of their managers. The managers in issue are Luke Cotton and Ben Woodward, who helped getting some of the good players and teams into the organization.
There is not a clear reason given why the two are released, but it could have to deal with their new project called Power Gaming (A project similar to Crack Clan).

If Crack Clan is going to survive this lose is uncertain, because of the rumors that the St. George Group (the financial supporters of CC) are leaving with the organization to follow Luke Cotton and Ben Woodward to Power Gaming. In addition, the teams are given the choice to stay or end there contract and leave CC (and maybe join up with the new Power Gaming).

The statements are as followed;

Crack Clan:
Today Crack Clan announces the complete reconfiguration of our professional gaming initiative. Having entered the professional e-sports scene one year ago we’ve gone through what we considered a trial-by-fire learning phase especially in terms of acquisitions, business models, management and work flow. These past twelve months have delivered a rich experience heavy laden with world-class results that have found us contending with the top e-sports talent in the world and it is our desire to repeat those moments with a new, fiscally sound attitude.

We have terminated the contracts of Ben Woodward and Luke Cotton and wish them luck with their new adventures at PowerGaming, an organization without which the last year was not possible. Our Counter-Strike 1.6, Halo 3, and Team Fortress 2 professional LAN campaigns are effectively put on hold and players given the option of contractual release, continuance or a position with the newly launched PowerGaming initiative. We look forward to maintaining our continued presence across all levels in the world of e-sports and will be updating you soon as to the next phase of changes we will be implementing!

 Ben Woodward;
We're in the very early stages with PG right now but expect new player announcements over the coming days as we look look to expand as rapidly as possible.
