Bom Leaves TAG

Posted by cobbeh at 13:32 4/4/2004.

Last night saw Bom leave Team AMD Gamer. The reasons for his decision to leave are tied in with wanting to do more than just play CS. This news leaves TAG with a 4 man lineup, which means they may need to recall TeppuM to the team for the time being untill a replacement can be found. Here is what the TAG lineup now looks like:

Check out an interview with Bom here to find out more. Now let the speculations on the 5th player begin. Good luck to Bom and TAG.

Where's craig these days? I reckon they would bring back one of their old players if they could. Doesn't seem like there are any other obvious option, unless a clanONE or Infinity-eSports player is willing to break his clan's line-up. Maybe they even think a player from the newly overrated c4u would be good enugh - however, from what I understand, it wouldn't work out socially. So, my guess is that it's going to be an oldie or someone relativily unknown. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Presumably the old schoolers arent playing cs atm. Their all s*** hot players and TAG would certainly continue to mantain their UK ranking. But surely long term aims include CPL etc, in reality prolly gunna have to look to foreigners :/ Bom would be very difficult to replace with a UK'er. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

dbz, Dark is actually on a highler level as a CS player than any English Counter-Strike player ever, perhaps with Harriman and Magiacapra making for expections. Even if he didn't perform like that after having retired only to come back and play with 4Kings. I think the difference that it makes is how you put a team together and how you practise when you don't live near each other and have cultural differences. It can be difficult, and personally I still have the Infinity-eSports team at WCG 2002 as my favourite team. They seemed to have the most flowing and well-thought teamplay of any English line-up I've never seen play together. That's also why I found it really annoying when Wr!ght quit. That's probably when that era was about over. They didn't give any of the same performances at WCG 2003 and ESWC 2003, even though they had an English team and Xenon had moved to England to play with the team that played at ESWC 2003. The play there was never quite the same.

Sure, there are a good portion of semi-high level English players in clans like clanONE, Infinity-eSports, c4u, nocturne and the like, but if the few true English topplayers keep quitting, then the English clans might have to recruit from abroad to reach top international class. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, though I would also like the English to settle for the talent they have domestically and work with that. Long term, I think that'll make the best teams, and I don't like England having "borrowed" success either, then rather have them have less success. However, I do see how a player like Hartman has much more opportunity to make something of his talent with 4Kings than he would have with Caffice. Apparantly, though, things didn't work out.

I think NiREe will be really strong for TAG and possibly improve the team a lot because he has had more experience with much better CS teams than TAG have. This just requires for him to reach his top level, which I think is still some distance away. I didn't watch all of TAGs games in Latvia, but I reckon none of the players stood out, and NiREe as the new player shouldn't be expected to either. As with Xenon it'll probably take him a little while to fit in.

And Infinity-eSports sure as hell look strong with their new Scandinavian players. So do nocturne, even though their additions were more like average Swedish CS players, not top players. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

oh hi greg.

dunno, i was simply saying he's far from average. he's probably better than 95% of UK players, and kixer is a nobody, as said by yourself, and phyrre isn't exactly world renowned.

I never said they were s***, i was simply saying there not average compared to your players.
