esu.swe merge with Team9

Posted by VespR at 21:28 4/2/2003.

It would appear that Nine Studios in Sweden have found a new Counter-Strike team to represent them at International events. This being in the form of e.sports united.Sweden. The five players - vesslan, Swift, Quick, Notorious and Venom have set up camp in one of Stockholms most prestigous LAN centres famous for it's for sponsorship with the legends NiP. Here's what [9]Admin had to say:
Kim: What will be done to prevent team9 to become like mTw.nine ?

[9]Admin: A really good and lasting contract, which did not exist with mTw.nine, and a team of guys who have the same target and expectations.

Kim: What are your expectations on this new team? "Old" [9] took a 4th place in CPL, what is your next target?

[9]Admin: As I said, always to be number one, but a top 3rd team is fine.

At the moment I'll take a guess that reasons for this merger (despite the obvious LAN practice they'll receive) has taken light due to the arrival of eoLithic into e.sports united. As we all know CPL doesn't allow teams under the same name to participate at their events and with esu.eoL and esu.swe representing the same name, would have ultimately caused them problems in the future. e.sports united also sat down with Venom to discuss matters further:
Kim: What do you think of the team and it's capacity? Now when you'll play on LAN, will the results improve?

Venom: We've had a pretty rough time now, and the sucess on the tournaments hasn't come yet. But I know, that now that we can spend 100% time on Nine, the results will change, motivation will be better, and that leads to a better team, and we will evolve.

It should also be noted that esu.swe does not leave e.sports united. When this interview was done, the tag problem wasn't solved, but they'll be back with that soon.

that CPL rule really sucks, they are quite clearly 2 completely seperate teams and for an organisation trying to promote gaming to hinder the progress of organisations like esu seems a bit stupid really. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
