Week of News - September 12th-19th -

Posted by Peter ptER Mather on 2011-09-22 20:53:04

In what is a special edition of the TEK9 Week of News I will be taking over from Bob "bcrbo" Van de Voorde whilst he is away on vacation. With a number of teams addressing me about recent changes over the past week this article will span from September 12th to September 18th.

1. Diabulus go BIG

The relatively new organization of Diabulus Gaming have branched out into Call of Duty 4 with the addition of The BIG, a team that is based within the United Kingdom. The organization stated ambitious goals for the team, expecting good placements in both offline and online ventures, something the team are hoping they can act upon successfully.

The team have stated that they will be representing their organization immediately within a variety of online leagues and cups including ESL, CyberGamer and Clanbase alongside the major UK LAN events. The team can be seen already signed up to the CGZ LAN in Newcastle and are optimistic about their placement.

United Kingdom Charlie "SenttY" Cripps
United Kingdom David "honesi" Robinson
United Kingdom James "Sh0x" Mullis
Ireland Steven "T ayls" Taylor
United Kingdom Dan "nasteHH" Cripps
United Kingdom Harry "bx!" Frost
Team captain Charlie "SenttY" Cripps gave the following statement to Diabulus Gaming:
"Speaking on behalf of the team i would like to say how happy we are to be picked up by Diabulus gaming, the last couple of weeks have been incredbile for us as we have recently been accepted into academy, we have planned which LANS we will be attending and now we have joined with this fantastic organisation. We are really excited to work with Diabulus and feel that the they have lots to offer and we hope we can give back just as much back by getting some great results and performing well at LAN. Our future plans are to Attend the CGZ lan in october and hopefully i44 in November as well. We are hoping to keep growing as a team and to hopefully start pushing towards pre invite. Finally i want to thank Diabulus gaming for giving us this opportunity and that we will not let them down. Charlie "SenttY" Cripps."

2. VYE take in a sinner

Visualize Your Enmity, or VYE as they are more commonly known have recently made a subtle line-up change. After what the team considered to be a reasonable performance at Insomnia43, the UK's largest LAN event, the team fell prone to activity issues stemming from scope Matt "KiLzR" Barber after recent changes in his lifestyle.

After a few weeks it became apparent that the team could no longer function in this way so set about finding an alternative, and after much trial and error found what they needed in Gary "sinner" Wilson. During his trailing phase he showed a level of commitment that was unparalleled and alongside his numerous LAN attendances with various mix teams spanning across the whole of Europe it was an obvious choice for the side.

Out of all his appearances he made his name at the VNUK LAN in Glasgow where he was awarded the MVP award and has since been committed in finding a suitable team for his play style. The team have expressed the intention to attend the next instalment of Insomnia44 this November at the Telford International Center.

United Kingdom Paul "WELLSY" Wells
United Kingdom Josh "Jay" Jones
United Kingdom James "intl" Bonett
United Kingdom Michael "Mike" Bird
United Kingdom Gary "Sinner" Wilson
United Kingdom Andrew "Andehh" Yates (Backup)
New addition Gary "Sinner" Wilson gave the following statement to VYE:
After hunting a new team for a little while I've found myself in VYE. Having played with 2 of the current members of the team in the distant past and meeting the new guys, I feel right at home. Hopefully I can help the team progress and establish ourselves at a high level in the cod4 scene. Our first event will be Multiplay's insomnia44 in August, see you there.

3. Divi5ion with changes

Originally named coregaming the side has gone through several changes within it's one year lifespan. During its infancy the team, albeit slightly different to the current line-up, managed to gain access to academy preparing for its advance into pre-invite. Unfortunately it wasn't meant to be, seeing the team six months later folding on the brink of success. Shortly after disbanding the team decided to give it another go, joining the organization of efuzion until soon after they were given an offer they simply could not resist from the newly formed organization of Divi5ion.

Unfortunately for the young side the atmosphere missed a vital element that was present at the team's birth, forcing the team to make part ways on mutual ground with Anthony "zontix" Baker and Zack "unijoux" Lloyd leaving the team with a hard decision. Deciding not to repeat past mistakes the remaining players decided to take on the complicated task of rebuilding the team.

Not long after their departure the team welcomed the addition of old friend Paul "decks" Busse, then just four days later the team stumbled upon Dawid "pukiz" Kuder who was a perfect fit. The team are planning to attend Insomnia44 this November, starting payments over the next few weeks.

United Kingdom Charlie "Welchh" Welch
United Kingdom Scott "hav0k" Crawley
United Kingdom Paul "decks" Busse
United Kingdom Luke "LuKe" Dainton
United Kingdom Dawid "pukiz" Kuder
Team captain Scott "hav0k" Crawley gave the following statement:
"I am very proud to say that we, impel gaming after the recent departure of organisation eFuzion, are ecstatic to be joined with the exceptional organisation known as Divi5ion multi-gaming. On behalf my my entire team, we would like to say a massive thank you to the Divi5ion management, especially Jason / kbb (Head manager) of the org for giving us the biggest opportunity we've had. We will be competing in the ESL Amateur league, Cybergamers, both Amateur leage and TURBO league, we also are planning to attend i44 as our first team offline event, and try to achieve a position in the top10. Finally i would like to thank our new sponsers, AWD-IT, imbaservers, blueprint and Visualize media."

4. MEMIA take in new British side

Soon after I43 a group of young British hopefuls decided to form a new side to compete within the upcoming onslaught of competitions, cups and offline events within the United Kingdom. Initially three old acquaintances got together, Matt "MattjA" Loftus, Ben "BEN" Ashton and Darren "haV" Black, to begin building the foundations of the team. Soon after the trio formed new allegiances with Bradley "Dynasty" Smith, an individual most of the team had dealt with during past events. Finally, after an intense trailing period Grant "Spazykii" Wallace stood apart from the other individuals, displaying excellent in-game talent alongside an outstanding ability to gel with the team.

Little did the team know that none other than Ben "BEN" Ashton was a leading Manager within the quickly advancing organization of Memia, a bomb that was quickly dropped upon the team. Soon later, after many brief discussions the side found themselves with an offer they couldn't refuse brandishing the Memia tag for all to see.

The team plan on advancing through the scene as quickly as possible, competing within the up-coming Cybergamer leagues, ESL, Esports Heaven and Insomnia44 this up-coming November.

United Kingdom Matt "MattjA" Loftus
United Kingdom Ben "BEN" Ashton
United Kingdom Darren "haV" Black
United Kingdom Bradley "Dynasty" Smith
United Kingdom Grant "Spazykii" Wallace
Team captain Darren "haV" Black gave me the following statement:
First of I would like to say thank you to my previous team mates and all the players that trialed for the MEMIA line up. On the other hand after working on the current line up for a few weeks myself and Ben found Mattja, Dynasty and Spazskii. Now that we have finalized the line up the teams goal is to get ready for i44. Really looking forward to it and we are all hoping to perform well at LAN.
