Legend or Myth? I-eS and 4K to Merge!

Posted by Antmoo at 16:57 4/1/2003.

It seems apparent from reading the latest issue of PC Format today that Infinity-eSports and Four Kings are to merge. The article in PC Format is about Pro-Gaming but mainly focuses on I-eS and 4k, here's a quote:
"Respectively the heads of the UK's leading multiplayer clans, Four Kings and Infinity e-Sports, they're currently guiding their teams towards a merger in the new year"
Surprising to say the least considering they only split last year. Here's more:
"Once the merger is complete, the clan will act as a proffessional gamers' agency, with the team cherry-picking the best players at each game"
Could it be just another PC Mag getting it wrong? Maybe, however the article does have quotes from Zommy and Wr1ght from Four Kings and Infinity-eSports which adds a certain amount of truth to the story.
"The UK games scene just needs somebody with the balls to go set something up" - Doug Wright
It also seems Intel are looking to sponsor the merged clan, likely to be called Legend.

We'll try and get some more news on this for you.

Thanks to Kensai|Ryu for the heads up!

when you say they will hand pick the best players from each game is that for their agency acting like esports-pro for example or is that for the team ie scrapping some players from their current lineups to get better talent? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Aren't these magazines written x MONTHS in advance? I think I remember reading PC Gamer is written 3 months odd in advance.

Not sure what my point is here... I'm sure I'll think of one sometime tho.. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

what the mother fuick, conversation started with mike saying he had a huge c**k and that people were asking if they could borrow some of his c**k as a rope because they had ran out of rope material and i said mike i know your c**k is 1000000 feet long but i don't believe the extrra 1500000 u added on and he went beserk saying he had an unnatural penis size of that of two elephants and then all hell broke loose and everyone came to the conclusion that I was gorgeous and everyone else looked like a rhino with diarheao.
