Team Infused release CoD4 team

Posted by Camiel jetset R. on 2010-03-10 19:30:58
Team Infused at the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7 last weekend.

After a dissapointing 25-32 place finish at the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7 in Enschede, the Netherlands last weekend, Team Infused has parted ways with their Call of Duty 4 team with immediate effect.

The British team had brought in Patrick "puNi" Stemmler to replace George "RAIVZ" Marsh leading up to the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7, but failed to make it out of the groupstages after being placed in a group together with eventual finalists Reason Gaming and fnatic.

Despite their promising looking lineup, a fourth place finish in their group, having lost to GameLimited in a battle for third place, had made the Infused management decide to look for other alternatives, stating they "persue a roster within the Call of Duty 4 European Top 10".

When asked about their future plans with regards to Call of Duty 4, Joshua "twrs" Towers replied that "Team Infused will soon be returning to Call of Duty 4 to compete at upcoming events, all of which we look to be present at with a potential Top 10 European roster. More announced soon!"

United Kingdom Chris "chenson" Henson
United Kingdom Robbie "robzje" Heaton
Ireland Darren "wannabe" Borrow
United Kingdom Lee "PukKa" Martin
Germany Patrick "puNi" Stemmler

to get out of groups they would have to have been top 2 EU, and beating gamelimited when there was no chance of progressing further seems like trivial effort, no?

I can't really say they underperformed, they were in group with the eventual finalists, this was purely because they had the group of death, either way gl to the players as well as the org.

Pretty difficult when the only money you've got to support a team with is Knallers eps money.

All the best guys, I love you all <3

Bit harsh to an extent by infused as the team would have worked hard to bring some new players in and improve especially after some silly mistakes which cost them matches at cc7!

why would they, they've got a team bursting with talent, all they need is time to figure out all that practical stuff with roles etc. for an example vasquesz worked as a team captain and motivator for TCM and was most likely besides the players 40 % of the team, as he was the glue, dignitas just need to find the glue i guess wasnt because they lost very big on lan, they just lacked the glue ":D" i love that word

To clarify on Twrs comment, we looking for a team that has the potential to be top 10 in Europe, not necessarily one that is already there. At the moment that wasn't the current line-up.
7 months ago
+0 thumbs
I have put them in my top10 in my cadred ranking. With 1 or 2 changes within that lineup they could be in the top10.

I'm sure if you gave them 2 weeks after CiC7 they would have replaced 1 or 2 players, practised as much if not more than before CiC7 to prove themselves and would have battled to be in the top10 !
7 months ago
+0 thumbs
Maybe they would Will, but that is a maybe isn't it. With all due respect, you was not present in the 4hour meeting we had last night deliberating on this, it wasn't an easy choice, especially as we all get along so well, management and players alike. Do you have any idea how hard it is to remove a team you just had an awesome weekend away with? it's shit, really shit.
7 months ago
+0 thumbs
you just clarified by saying you wanted a team that had the potential to reach the top 10, either you're saying they didn't have the potential to reach that goal or you're not, and by the looks of things you are.

either way I hope infused find or have found a great replacement team, and I'm sure the decision wasn't based solely on the unfortunate result of cic, because there really was never a chance that they were getting out of the groups.

They do have the potential Leo, i dont doubt that at all, the problem is how long will it take? if you recall ur team bombed out at tex too - we have a solid year of not so amazing results (bar one event) from cod teams... something has to give, we want to give people chances, but we also have to draw the line somewhere.
7 months ago
+0 thumbs
dont see how that's relevant, we had a dire event at tex and we all knew it, but it was miles away from our potential ability, potential which should have been realised then, not a few weeks later at i37. What I was saying was that you used the word maybe, that's exactly what potential is, a maybe. If you're gonna be part of the management and comment on this in public then man up and say they were removed because you didn't think they had the potential to do well in the time frame infused wanted them to perform in. Don't say they have the potential, or that "maybe they would" achieve a top 10 EU placing, because apparently that's exactly what you are looking for in a team.

"To clarify on Twrs comment, we looking for a team that has the potential to be top 10 in Europe"

I don't blame infused for removing them, I might have done the same even though I get on great with the team. But your clarification wasn't particularly clear and frankly you contradicted yourself. And bringing up the infused team that I was in seems a bit retarded considering you weren't a manager at the time, you were in the girls team that was freeboating lans on the back of a sponsorship deal which took the combined power of five gamingly talentless vaginas to reel in. Like I said, hope you guys find a good team and i'll support the org and whatever team you find, but that comment and your previous ones didn't sit particularly well with me.

Indeed, I bet it was so hard to remove them but business is business at the end of the day and I'm sure they still respect your descision.

Yeah it is a maybe and I wasn't there during your 4 hour meeting, but its your descision at the end of the day!

Good luck have fun for both parties!

I suppose it's only fair. They were expected to perform and they didn't. I'm sure if the girls team had all turned out to be men they would have been removed also.

The ugly face of eSports has popped its head up once again. The ruthless and heartless Infused under the reign of Josh Towers isn't a pretty sight. I'm not one to speculate about one's management, but after hearing that Mr. Towers forcefully slapped the back of one of his own player's head after losing a round at the recent CiC7 event, I can't help but voice my concerns.

Hindsight is a beautiful thing, however in the heat of the moment I can't blame the infused player in question for cowering. Not many would be brave enough to stand up to a furious Towers.

It's understandable from a performance-related perspective that the side were dropped, but i'm unsure if Infused are an organisation with the calibre to attract "TOP" level teams.

I'd personally have more respect for an organisation with a competitive, clean and friendly team than one who have cast aside relationships in order to have the best.

It's hard to phrase what I'm trying to say, but in it's most blunt form, I liked this team.

"I'd personally have more respect for an organisation with a competitive, clean and friendly team than one who have cast aside relationships in order to have the best." I would love to hear how you are gonna sell that one to our sponsors :) "We want you to give us 10k a year, but we dont actually win anything, we jut have really nice teams with a clean & friendly attitude, but they are nicer than all the other teams out there, so yeah 10k pls" LOL

might have practised n got out of the groups if much of that 10k actually went towards paying for their event :D

10k a year going into lubricants and tampons for the cougar in charge? Cause the way they got supported to cic7 doesn´t exactly show infused with 10k budget, cause that would tell me that they could give at least 750 quid to the team for this trip...

But hey i´m just a l0llerc0pter on the road, nice seeing u all on cic7 :D
