Greg Edwards Quits Gaming

Posted by Myers at 16:56 23/12/2002.

Greg 'Dartagnan' Edwards today informed UKTerrorist that he would be leaving the pro-UK gaming scene indefinitely .
Im writing this to say i'm quitting playing cs at a serious level.

I never really managed to get over being removed from Infinity-eSports, and that's basically why i didn't fit into one. I've gotta say sorry to them, because they were expecting me to come in and be able to do amazing things and help with tactics, but team play and playing styles which i took for granted playing with I-eS, which i didnt see in ONe just got me frustrated, because i am quite an impatient person. ONE are all cool guys, and i'm sorry for all my shouting :P Especially during the final, i guess from my point of view, that final wasnt just a game for me, emotinally it was a lot more. Losing to my old team m8's was really upsetting for me, and i pretty much left the event straight after the final without talking to
anyone. Due to me being impatient and furstrated that also affected the way i played, and i just didnt play for ONE as well as i should have been able to do if i'd just been able to calm down and settle in, but like i said, i never really got over being kicked from I-eS. Sorry to ONE and gl to them.

I'm not really interested in joining another team, cause i know it'll be the same again as in ONE. I can honestly say no clan in the UK will ever get to the level of I-eS.....provided they keep their current lineup they will not be beaten, i really dont want to go through being beaten by them again :( So i've decided to take a break from playing and just get on with uni for a while. Maybe in a few months i might consider playing again, but for now i'm just gonna play less and do things like gathers for now.

It's been 3 years now, and quite a sad ending to my playing really. I'll still be around on irc and so on, but bye bye every!

I have known Greg for a long while now and I can honestly say he is a great friendly guy and very dedicated to whatever he does. I wish Greg the best of luck in the future and hopefully he will continue to be a presence in the community in one form or another

You wont regret it, you've had a good career and go out with a great reputation. The only thing I feel I missed out on in CS was playing in the summer CPL when you were fresh in IeS.

I think these two clans are worse off without you but you'll do fine without them. GL! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

bet he'll be kicking himself when ONE finally beat i-es.

it goes back and forth.. clans beat each other regularily at other highly competitive levels if you've noticed, don't see why UK is going to be any different. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
