reSonance Become UniCon.cs

Posted by cobbeh at 19:20 10/11/2003.

It has been announced that UK team reSonance have joined up with UniCon to become their CS team. Both teams have been pretty quiet recently with reS going into semi inactivity and UniCon struggling to sort out their CS team due to the forming of the Halo team.

Here is the official statement by UniCon:

reSonance become UniCon.cs

After the recent changeover of the old .cs team to halo UniCon have been looking for a team to fill the gap. We are now happy to announce that reSonance will be taking up that role.

JonnyRhythm had this to say about the merger:

"The transition to Unicon.cs for reSonance Pro Gaming Team will hopefully prove an excellent move forward for us as a team. The deal we have struck with the team at Unicon is most satifactory,
and the fact we can now bootcamp at UniCon as part of their muli-gaming team can only improve us as a cs squad."

UniCon co-owner Vinny is very happy with the merger and had this to say on behalf of UniCon Gaming:

"Despite the recent difficulties with steam and lan centres, CounterStrike continues to be our most popular game. UniCon.cs have always done us proud and I'm confident that the new lineup will continue this tradition. I don't know much about cs but I'm sure I will be doing my 'winnah' pose at the CPL next year!"

UniCon.cs lineup:

theRhythm / Hitchico / StriKeN / zeLL / Jena / Brenje

The best of luck goes to UniCon.cs in the future.

its a bit small for UKT's, only 20 pcs so thats 2 games at a time and room is a bit small so kinda restricts from making loaud calls without other team hearing u.

better idea would be using where that manchester lan was gonna be and using the pcs from lite and unicon to make up 40 and enuff for a ukt event [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

here it is..
Johnny-Rhythm - Business Manager of reSonance Professional Gaming Team says:
"All that now stands in the way between us and Counter-Strike World Domination is these key points relating to each of the 6 man squad:
theRhythm - Get him out of the pub
Hitchico - Get him out of the gym
StriKeN - Get him a new girlfriend
zeLL - Get him out of his new car
Jena - Send him to a cs anger management
Brenje - Can't, he is a scouser

13:14 11/11/2003
nothing to do wit me really...
but at a guess...

UniCon as a company rely on customers to keep the centre running, so the success as a CS Side isnt that important...
what UniCon want is publicity, as long as the new cs side keep playing games... the unicon name gets used...
however obviously it looks better if the names doing well than bad.

As a multigaming team, we expect them to improve on there current performances at lan with the extra backing provided for bootcamps etc before events... but as long as they keep a reputable name, and people keep talking its all good :) when kensai became unicon there was loads of flame and s*** about it... but at end of the day... unicon name got thrown around so much it was great publicity... the entire ukt readers section insantly became aware of the lan centre.

well we are defently one of the clans that came from nothing to actally play at high levels in the UK. If we had been fully active throught out these 12 months wid someone supporting like UniCon, we probably would have been challanging the likes of the big 5 imo ... hopefully we can do that now that we have UniCon supporting us & keeping us motivated (one of the reason of the random inactivities).

who should have they gone for?? UFO? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Why are people always under the illusion that sponsorship is going to vastly improve a clan and take them to the top of UK gaming? They wont bootcamp much more than they do now and it really wouldn't make that much difference.

reSonance have been around for a very long time with an unchanged team as of late, they've played together loads. I can't see why you would expect them to improve loads Shaw.

All the same, they're a nice clan with good players and I wish them well. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
