fuZion become FLS, wannabe joins

After a 17-24th place finish at the Antwerp Esports Festival, making it out of the groupstages in third place in Group C behind SPEEDLINK and TCM Gaming, Team fuZion has left their organisation in search of a brand new home and will continue under the temporary name Flawless (FLS).

While their manager will remain directly involved with both the team and Team fuZion, a lack of sponsorship has made the team decide to look for a new home and gain the necessary support of European LAN events.

The mixed European team finished ahead of Epsilon, plusONE, Visualize and Hardware4u Gaming in their group at AEF, but got knocked out of the tournament by eSuba in the first round of the playoff stages, losing 13-10 on mp_strike. Shortly after the event, James "zENR" Cook parted ways with the fuZion side and was recently replaced by Darren "wannabe" Borrow, who is previously known for his time in Team Infused, Team Rockit and more recently TheLastResort.

With wannabe in their middle, FLS has set their sights on the DSRack LAN in Copenhagen, Denmark next month.

Statement Emmet "KosH" Kilbride: "As manager and owner of fuZion I have always had the interests of the players at heart. While the team achieved better than expected (by Others) results at AEF there remained the problem of funding lan trips and events. It would never be my intention to hold back players from reaching their full potential. I have had a lot of discussions with the team. Both of us agree that in order for the team to progress then a switch of Org is necessary. I would of course have liked the team to remain part of fuZion but due to a lack of sponsors what can you do, particularly in the current economic environment.

It in my opinion is not a sad day but in fact I choose to look at this in a positive light and to see the players become the great team that they are and then prove themselves at LAN gives me the highest satisfaction possible. I respect the players and the work they have put into training and working at the game. They are my friends and will continue to be no matter what org they go and I of course wish them every success. The fuZion org is still looking for sponsors and is still a breeding ground for good attitude players with a future in front of them. The fuZion org will continue as always."

Statement Philip "ataRi" McCann: "Firstly and foremost, its a sad day for us as a team because we have to part ways with fuZion. We've spent our best and most successful times in fuZion and we'll miss everyone involved greatly. Unfortunatly, all good things have to come to an end! However, KosH will remain directly involved in the team which is something we're all extremely relieved about. We're now looking for a new organisation to represent at future LAN events. I'd like to give a special shoutout to KosH, who has made us who we are today and deserves so much credit for everything we have and will achieve in the future."
