 Astralis leave Team-Hardwire

Astralis seemed to sign for the swedish organization Team-Hardwire less than a week ago. Through their site, team-hardwire.net, we could read that, what was an inital agreement between organization and team, became a disagreement when Astralis manager, Sune "crZy" Hansen, did put his hands into the offer and asked much money than the organization could affort.

Their old team-owner, Fredric "copyR" Chronholm stated on their web-page that "The Hardwire organization agreed to pay the sum and everything seemed to be in order, for a short moment that is. As soon as we went official with the lineup we were told to get the bookings done, something we were obliged to do due to the agreement. The only problem was that the sum/budget that both parts had agreed upon, dramatically changed. The lineup together with their team manager suddenly demanded more money than we had agreed to finance. 3/3 was the budget that the initial agreement was based upon; now they demanded 4/3.

We told the guys and the team-manager to find a way to solve it for the budget we had given them 3/3 that is. They did not agree to this, they wanted the new price they just came up with, and when we did not agree to this, they left us."

In the other hand, we also can read what Astralis manager Sune "crZy" Hansen reported about this story for hltv.org: "What went wrong with Hardwire is that copyR sent us a contract we were ready to sign, he had promised us to pay everything and in the end, he did not pay anything at all. He just came up with a bunch of excuses and reasons for not paying".

Astralis are on the search of an organization to finance their assistance to GameGune 2k9, that will take place from 27 to 29 of this month in Bilbao, Spain, although Hansen announced that the team is in contact with an important organization that may finance them the trip and the stay on there.

We wont say which of both versions you have to trust, as we can see that at least one of thw two parts are clearly lying.

 oXmoze add frenchy

This night,  oXmoze have announced the return of one of its former members, that player is  frenchy, which becomes a meeting with his team, after joining the French team  Giants during two months.

This movement is due to Giants don't have found a multigaming who wants to give them a lan support. It could be the first sign of his disappearance like a competitive team. Moreover, one of the members from Giants OZWALD has removed his tags but is unavalible to give a statement for clarification.

However, oXmoze seem to be taking advantage of the situation and have returned to the roster with which he won the Assembly Gamer 09. The entry of frenchy in oXmoze is due to the departure of  xandeR, who have decided quit game.

 oXmoze.COD4 line up:

 Soudat "gortex" Jordi
 Kévin "frenchy" Heraudet
 Zydron "dudek" David
 Duvignau "OAZs_" Cyril
 Abbadie "karko" Jérôme

 ESC-Gaming signs todi

ESC-Gaming signs todi in a crazy week for them. The german organization just recently announced, less than a week ago, the sign up of former team-Alternate captain David "CHEF-KOCH" Nagel. A change that came in a moment where Christoph "nabeo" Maureo, the replaced player, called for a break, due to his incapacity to dedicate full-time to his cs-career for personal issues.

Today, the team announces another change in less than a week. Christian "todi" Heckmann will replace Nagel due to, as escgaming.de official statement says, "time incompatibility and some other problems, as we had Heckmann on our list as another possible replacement".

On the other hand, we have Christoph "loomit" Normann, who will act as the ingame captain of a new roster that will have about a month to prepare the spanish event, though ESC-gaming organization seems to be sure of keep counting on Heckmann services after the LAN event.

 Christoph "loomit" Normann
 Lucas "recki" Reckermann

This night,  EnRo GRIFFINS has been proclaimed as the winner of the 14th edition of the ESL German Pro Series with a close win to  TBH.MSI who were the favourite team of the tournament. The final score was 2-1, with three agonizing overtimes. This was a very close match and everyone is sure that both teams did of their best. There was sure no ways that anyone could predict a win for EnRo Griffins. 

#1 -  EnRo GRIFFINS 
#2 -  TBH.MSI
#3 -  prediction Gaming

 EnRo GRIFFINS 14-16  TBH.MSI (mp_backlot)

Statement    Richard "HornYz69" Horn to www.esuba.eu : Finally the first German EPS Season 14 for Call of Duty is over and we managed to win the EPS. We are really happy and i think nobody expected us to win this Final. After a lot of up and downs we finished the regular season with the 4th place but we beat the clear favorites in both final matches. The hard training and the invested time payed of at the end. I am glad to have such a wonderful team. The weekend before we traveled to London and won 2 finals over there. So we finally got rid of the word "onliners" as the topteams were watching us and they gave us their respect. Unfortunately we will play with a different constellation next season as Plotsch has to do military service. So we will appear at the OOF in Antwerp with a new player. Looking forward to meet the other lanteams over there. Hope we can perform in Antwerp same we did in London. Thanks.

 Solu joined Cube

Today the Italian side  Cubesports.AMD have announced their final addition to the team after the recently departure of  Riccardo "push3r" Bortolameott, the team unfortunately dropped into inactivity for a short period of time.

However today they have announecd the unique arrival of former Prediction Gaming player  Claudio "solu" Giovanniello, they have added the German star to an all Italian lineup which has appeared to be unusual however Solu is nothing short of a great player and a fantastic addition to the squad. The team will be attending Outpost on fire 3 hoping to cause some upsets and come in the tournaments as the dark horse.

 Cubesports.AMD roster now stands:

 Federico "shade" Seri
 Matteo "mafarka" Diana
 Amir "george" Hajar
 Massimiliano "maxdd" Gilli
 Claudio "solu" Giovanniello

Statement  Claudio "solu" Giovanniello to TEK-9.org: "After I left former prediction Gaming about a week ago, I started playing with the guys of cubeAMD because they talked to me as they are in need of a fifth. After we played day after day together we saw that it works well, so they decided to take me in. Im very glad to play with a team like cubeAMD and to be able to attend OOF3. I'm speaking Italian too because my father is from Bari, so we dont have any ingame language problems. the team is great and I'm sure we can manage to take some good results in upcoming events."

 Giants leave their organisation

Since their joining to the Giants organisation, these guys never stopped fighting for a big place on the Call of Duty 4 scene. They became one of the best teams from their country and had a pretty good place on the international scene as well.

This summer, they were planning to attend some of the summer LAN events like TEX and OOF3 with some help from the organisation. Three days ago, the guys announced that they were leaving Giants due to the big problems that have touched the organisation. Later, it appeared that the team manager had paid the entrance but not the Giants organisation itself. Also, if you have paid attention, the CSS team of Giants have left the organisation not so long ago as many of the other squads before.

Now, #frorn (temporary name of what was ex-Giant team), are looking for a new home. Someone who could support them as it’s needed for them. With all the summer events that are coming up, they have to hurry up!

The line up for #frorn:

 Thomas "arEs" Dessaint (Team Manager)

 Léonard "RUKKAE" Alzeto
 Antonin "OZWALD" Grenier
 Kévin "frenchy" Heraudet
 Raphaël "RaigeKi" Nunes
 Mathieu "niejdan" Lascombes
