Adrenaline's Huge Announcement

Posted by NoToRiOuS at 01:27 21/10/2003.

After a long wait, Vesslan finally popped online and after a few minutes of fairy dust throwing we were told that Adren would have a new main sponsor in the form of Sennheiser. This contract they have signed has given them the oppotunity to move to sunny California.

They will be in the moving there for the next 3 months and will train at the Gamers-X LAN Center. Where they will be gearing themselves up for the next big lans, CPL Winter 2003 and CyberXGames.

Here's a short extract from the interview:

Your deal with Sennheiser Communications includes your team travelling to the United States, living there and playing from there. Could you explain to us how this will work?

vesslan: Correct! Our team will be moving to California in the United States, and live there for the next three months. We will put full focus on the next big tournaments, CPL Winter 2003 and CyberXGames. We will all live in a big house and play from the Gamers-X LAN Center. The team squad is going to look like this: quick, vesslan, GoodFella, XeqtR, brunk and a sixth player we haven't decided for quite yet.

Going back to the line-up: how did you end up taking brunk along with you?

vesslan: We have tested him for quite some time now and things are running well. He has got a great motivation and dedication to become a top player and that is really important. I see great potential in him but I think there are things he needs to pick up on, too. Besides, we wouldn't select him for this position if we had no confidence in him.

Thats got nothing to do with anything, if CPL was in the UK f***loads of UK teams would go. If the teams are out of the top 10 (of USA I assume) then they will be utterly pointless to play [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

f*** thats so heavy. About the whole "cs point of view", wen 5 ppl bond so as tightly as they will living together for 3 months their team play will probably be at such a level that they won't need to communicate during matches :o Which is the best thing a cs clan could hope for.
Also, a big HAHA IN UR FACE, at all them ppl who say "its just a game"

Sounds good but i fear for xeqtr in all of this, he's a class player but due to irl commitments he will have to jump between the two adrenaline teams. Adrenaline are going far with this move and two teams (one based in europe and one in the USA) with these line-ups can do them no harm:

1) adren-gx.sennhesiser :- quick, vesslan, GoodFella, XeqtR, brunk + Luke (ex eoLithic) or Notorious (ex nordic division).

2) adren.sca :- Lucchese, zAFFe, Quazar, XeqtR + Luke (ex eoLithic) or Notorious (ex nordic division).

It says in the interview that XeqtR will be jumping between both teams. Now that's a lot of flying around the world to be 6th man :(

Excellent news from the viewpoint of gaming being taken seriously as a profession. When will they realise though that all sports success is based on viewer demand. If they continue to have big tournaments with s***e coverage then the sponsers will realise their money is going to waste. And HLTV is not sufficient. Actual televised games is what is needed. Trust me. The sponsers will dry up if something isn't done about the coverage because they are paying to advertise their product and no one is seeing the advert. It's happened before during the sponsership boom of '99 when it was p*** easy to get sponsership from the likes of AMD etc. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
