• Gameonline (GoL) announced that Stoffa has left the clan. His main reason was the fact he doesn’t have enough time to continue gaming seriously. However he will continue as the manager of team Sweden and there are rumours circulating that he is starting a more ‘fun’ clan with real life friends. His replacement is GoL Dollar an already existing member of the clan.

• Faust the leader and one of the founders of Esports United has left the organisation. In a short interview which was done on Sogamed he stated that failure to communicate with other leaders within the organisation effectively was a major impact in his decision. Here is a quote:

  Unfortunately so many things changed since I have decided to build up e.sports united together with the 4 main orgas Lordi, duke and seki about one year ago. Lordi, a close friend of mine decided to leave e.sports united after several problems with the rest of the management. We built up a whole organisation with even an own office located in Germany is Big Business Town Frankfurt in the middle of Germany. So some investors and additional staff reinforced esu. During the months the communication went worse and I really missed the time without thousands of discussions without any effort. E.sports united is definitely a great Clan but due to the fact that I am located at Munich it was not that easy to keep in that close contact. So I was not able to realise my personal plans at e.sports united anymore.

  As well as Faust leaving a member of the .de squad also left recently. KoRn parted ways with esu last week and hanso rejoined the clan as the replacement.

• gamers.nu have interviewed esu.eoL * XeqtR. The interview covers quite a bit of XeqtR’s CS career from past to present and is a good read. Here is a little preview:

  You have achieved most of your success playing with HeatoN and Potti, does it sadden you to see the way teams are splitting into one country teams now or do you think it's just the natural evolution of European cs? Do you miss playing with some of your old team mates or was it time to move on?

  esu.eoL * XeqtR: It was just time to move on I guess, because as cs evolved you needed to be in a greated extent in contact with your team mates on a LAN basis and with me living in Norway while the rest were located in Sweden and even in the same city it became difficult to say it mildly to gather for boot camps and stuff. Also expensive for the sponsors to always pay flights for me to Sweden, but it was a bit sad to leave the people I've played with most of my career.
