TAG Gets Broken Down

Posted by Hotshot at 13:33 25/11/2003.

Over at the SK site mossad has written an interesting article detailing what exactly is in store for the lucky recipient of PC Gamers pet project.

The article explains the origins of the project and what effects it could have on eSports in the UK as a whole. mossad also talks to several people at the fore-front of this growing community and gets the thoughts of players from 4K, ONE, omg!, lastchance and many more as well as a snippet from UKTerrorist's very own Myers.

The TAG deal is without a shadow of a doubt a huge opportunity for whoever gets the amazing deal. To be able to travel to any event, not just in Europe but all over the globe will be nothing short of a great experience for TAG. For the UK CS Scene, it should also be good to have another team other than 4kings to support at foreign tournaments and hopefully make their mark as a top European team also.

For the full article, check out this link right here.

I hope LastChance get the sponsor...

They are by far the best UK clan for attitude and they are evidently one of the best clans in the UK.

I reckon this sponsorship would help them majorly and with the LANs and bootcamps etc/whatever they will improve to be the UK's finest clan.

Yes and good on them, but since then the big dream of the 4k beating team has witherd away. I think in due time I-eS will be well up there with those teams and i really do rate them, although lc & omg have been around for a long time. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

surely omg deserve it after beating like everyone in the uk apart from 4K @ lan and online and qualifying for eurocup and 4th at wipeout.

skill wise i-es would be better, since with that kind of backing, they d have to take it seriously and they have better potential if they get good teamplay..

omg! are currently a better team compared to i-es, but due to better tactics and teamwork atm.. and this sponsorship would ideally look at a long term (3-12months) result, and so i-es might be a better choice [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Rubbish arguement. You can't speculate that a team would suddenly change for the better if you throw money at them. The fact is they wont.
