Some news and announcements from the US have come to my attention recently and here is the latest:

• The rising team of inevitable Fate have had a massive blow recently with the announcement that member destrukt has removed himself from the team and subsequently quit CS. The iFate team will need to recruit quickly with only now having 4 members in their lineup. Here is a snippet of the full statement from him about his decision:

  My apologies go out to iFate for the horrible timing. I had so much fun @ CXG even with all the problems with these guys that it just seemed like the right move. Keyword, fun. My apology especially goes to pb and amic. They are two of the best friends I've ever had and I know this is going to be a huge let down to both of them. Keep your heads up; you are the two most under rated counter-strike players on the planet. This is one thing I know for sure. And yes, it was a conflict of interest to the DKT of DKT brand in a fatal1ty sponsored team... I was never really comfortable with that.

• Siege, who is the current manager of Norwegians of America has been interviewed by PantheonES. The interview talks about how the team is currently progressing and other aspects revolving around the clan and his views on eSports. Here is a small part of the interview:

  It's often said in articles focusing on E-Sporting that there are a lot of hurdles in the way of the 'industry' really becoming mature. What do you think the big hurdles are for E-Sporting in the next few years and how are you planning to tackle these problems?

  NoA|Siege:: A professional representation of the team is always one of the difficult tasks when dealing with some of the younger players, however all members of NoA are experienced, mature (18-23 yrs old), well educated and have the drive to take things further than anyone else has yet.

• Some major worries for Echo7 now with members leaving the team resulting in only 2 official members left. The players who have left e7 are; enigma, Funk and daffsta. Plans are to carry on the clan and rebuild, but this plan is a very tough one and may not go ahead.
