GLtC go Inactive

Posted by Hotshot at 00:52 7/5/2003.

Not a good night for UK CS tonight, certainly a few changes afoot, not least the folding of a clan we've all enjoyed playing over their 4 years of history. GLtC went inactive this evening and I caught up with catch and RtG who had this to say:

Why did GLtC decide to turn inactive?

(RtG) Various players have had trouble being able to play and it's forced others who didn't want to play into playing and the clan was dying a slow slow death. So we decided to go inactive and see what happens in the future if those people who are unable to play could return.

Catch, do you think we will see a return of GLtC, like a bad B movie, anytime soon?

(catch) I guess we'd all like to think so, however it depends on how a lot of things turn out. We've been together a long time so I guess if we all start being active again theres a decent chance.

Best of luck to all of GLtC, I think we would all agree that in the UK CS scene a clan standing of 4 years is some achievement.

PLAYER TO WATCH!!!

Bah rob said there wouldn't be a press release

Been a long time in GLtC since MPC broke up, had a trial and wanted a merely competent clan where I could end my CS days. Instead we go on to do better than any other clan I've been in, including top 3 UKCB (wow!), actually competing (kinda) at two proper CS LANs, staying in div 1 of loads of leagues for absolutely ages, winning the ED cup against some class competition and playing some really cool clans and people from the top flight of UKCS.

We even won some games sometimes! Sadly with various people leaving, and no time for those that remained to work on tactics or anything, it just began to get a bit embarrassing...

especially enjoyed playing N@S, kensai, conclusive, lc (and 6k!), SA, choke, and many other clans going way way back...

gg RtG, catch, TF, LL, Daza, Lek, Jys, biggy, wartris, reprobate, pezz, mccheung, milky and of course dev ;) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

As a cs clan we are 4 in July this year, but we'd been a hldm clan since December 1998, playing in the 2nd season of HLCCL on Wireplay.

GLtC were pretty old though, and at one point RtG was almost going to join us :D lucky for GLtC he joined them as he's done a brilliant job for them. Sorry to see them go inactive, one of our most impressive halves of cs ever was against them (still lost the match but got 2/5 points in wpcsl ;D ) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
