Promises not being held is something that occurs too much in eSports. This time it is Virus Gaming who noticed the hard reality of false promises and fairy tales. After joining Virus Gaming just over a month ago, the team around Cyril "oAzZ" Duvignau were forced to leave the organization because they couldn't support the French team as they promised.
The most recognized French team, which was willing to attend HCC2 in Helsinki and Epsilan in two weeks were unable to do so because of false promises made by the manager of Virus. Disappointed by this behavior and the fact they would be unable to attend the LANs they were planning to attend, they decided to leave the organization and try their luck somewhere else.
Luckily for them, Christmas came early with the French organization 1puRe contacting the team. They offered the team a ticket to Epsilan, a LAN in France, which they were eager to attend. With a new organization backing them up, they can now focus on the LAN which is coming closer and closer, but as well as the EMS season 9, where they are currently placed first, with one win against the up and coming German team of sooo delicious and a draw against team-imex.
The line-up remain unchanged and the 1puRe team is as follows:
Cyril "oAzZ" Duvignau
Raphaël "RaiGeKi`" Nunes
Arnaud "DRANRR" Renard
Antoine "aliiive" Daguier
Matthieu "ZelKeN" Mortier
Cyril "oAzZ" Duvignau has the following to say about the organization switch:
"Well, we are just dissapointed about Virus's staff. Even if we met them at both french lans, we thought it was a serious organisation. Skyboot told us each weeks all was booked like flights, hotel etc, but there is 2 weeks left, and we have nothing serious about HCC stuff. So Artik started to contact lot of organisations, and 1puRe came to us with a great stuff for the french lan Epsilan (same week end than HCC). So we couldn't refuse it, and join them. For the future, we'll see how it's going with, hope it will be fine. Anyway, thank you a lot to 1puRe staff for the support even 2 weeks before a lan. They are pro and got a really nice staff."
