In what is seen by many as a huge shock eoLithic today announced that they are leaving eSportsUnited, a company of which they have been a part of for less than 5 months. In the first part of a 2 part announcement on gotFrag? Styla the manager of eoLithic announced the decision. Here is a snippet:

Having been a part of e.sports united for the best part of 4 months, we have come to realize that although the clan seems to consist of everything necessary to finance a Counter-Strike team, they lacked the resources to fund the events, which we had wished to attend this year.

After the extremely successful boot camp at the GameOnline Café in Gothenburg, Sweden, an agreement has been finalized whereby GameOnline shall pay for all costs for the team to attend Clikarena in Toulouse, France.

GameOnline! eoLithic: (GoL ! eoL.) knoxville – ElemenT – DarK – Naikon - XeqtR

The full statement can be read here. I can't help but think how Vesslan and the rest of [9].esu are feeling at the moment after they were forced to adopt a new LAN sponsor & change of name because of the arrival of eoLithic into eSportsUnited. What will happen between the current GoL team who came 2nd at the Winter 2002 Dallas CPL competition and the newly arrived eoLithic team will remain to be seen. Good luck to all parties involved.
