Infinity-eSports Not To Attend UK CPL Qualifier

Posted by Myers at 17:50 24/11/2002.

Infinity-eSports are not going to appear for the UK CPL Qualifier at the IT-Centre in Northampton this Saturday, here's why?
Infinity-eSports, the UK's no.1 Counter-Strike team, regret to announce that we will not be attending
the UK CPL qualifiers happening at The IT-Centre in Northampton this Saturday.

This decision was made because of two reasons, the first of which are the conflicting dates between the Intel
Masters event this December and the CPL finals. Infinity-eSports therefore feel it to be unfair on
other teams that even if Infinity-eSports were to win the qualifier we would select to attend the
Intel Masters competition over CPL World Championships.

The second reason comes after the World Cyber Games. It was seen at the World Cyber Games that we were ill-prepared for the level of competition that we were facing, and despite finishing in a respectable joint 5th place, we feel we could have achieved much more. Also following Greg Edwards' departure the team finds itself in the position of recruiting a new player with less than a week to prepare for the CPL qualifiers. We believe we would do ourselves a disservice to compete so soon.

Also on the same statement Infinity-eSports reveal that tomorrow they will be announcing the identity of Greg's replacement.
On a subnote, at 1:00pm tomorrow afternoon Infinity-eSports will release our first newsletter from www.infinity-esports.net . This email will contain all the latest news in relation to Infinity-eSports as well as some exclusive news regarding the identidy of Greg Edwards' replacement, the truth about Greg's departure, what happened at WCG, the Clanbase Eurocup and much, much more. We strongly advise if you wish to see this news first you sign up to our newsletter.

18:41 24/11/2002		 Orignally GoL were attending, but their manager already booked the dallas trip, so now they're not. Instead mTw.swe are coming, so it really doesnt matter who else shows up really :P
Dynamic from Denmark are coming as well, so dont expect to see a uk team in the final.

Ill sign up to the newsletter so i can find out the truth of my departure :P [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

so if a current Team uk member joins I-es, then that would make them have THREE current team uk players ...

dont count out dazz either if you're going for bob !

I'd say xenon though. I said he'd eventually join i-es from the moment he stepped into uk [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
