Infinity-eSports Call It A Day

Posted by arsen at 03:03 2/9/2003.

Most of us saw it coming and now it's been confirmed...I-eS are history. The news comes after it was revealed today that they are to lose yet another one of their members to 4-Kings.

When IeS were reformed recently, many of us were looking forward to a team finally challenging 4K for the top spot of UK CS. But it wasn't to be, as 4K first 'poached' m0rph then earlier today persuaded DArtagnan to play for them at the upcoming WCG.

It seems just as a clan could pose a challenge to them, 4K just pull the mat from under their feet without even having to play them. The lure for some players to join up with the best team in the country is just to great, some may even argue that IeS was used as a stepping stone for some players to join up with Wright & Co.

So with IeS now history, who will now rival 4K when it comes to crunch time? Nothing left to say except good luck to all the ex IeS squad and someone, please, give 4K a thrashing at WCG.UK...for me.

*** Update ***

It appears there could still be hope for IeS, who have revealed that an annoucement is forthcoming regarding the current state of the squad. Keep checking back right here for the latest info on the troubled clan.

Sucks. 4K won't allow the UK CS scene to grow...looking after #1 all the time.

Mind you, I guess it's mainly the I-eS players fault for abandoning ship without hesistation. 'The grass is always greener on the other side' no? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

in my eyes m0 and DArt shud have stayed at I-eS at least for the duration of the WCG, see how they did, i mean imagine they could beat 4k which is highly possible, i think that would be a much better situation for them individually. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Hmm that would put them in exactly the same situation as with m0rph - shaq , they aren't going to have a 7 man squad at the end of the day ; So if he stays after wcg...who will be the next to go ? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

4K = respected clan 'worldwide' who have sponsors that give them anything they need 'aslong' as they accomplish their goals and serve a purpose.

it's a business, iNFiNiTy e-SpoRTz were an unfortunate by-product of some much more powerful entity.

might be a possibility to consider that 4K might have begrudged the thievery of the almight iNF1Ni7y-e5poRTz name :D

I really dont believe that these player 4k has aquired from i-es will stay at 4k for a whole lot of time before they decide to rejoin other squads.

Seems to be a move designed primarily just to avoid 4k having any uk competition. This is a good thing for 4k but a very bad thing for the community. wp on the stagnation. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I doubt that 4K did this to cripple the uk cs scene, it's f***ed up enough already.

I think they can't get xenon, dark or whoever to play at wcg, and need some boys off the bench.. it literally will be something as simple as that..

the thing that gets me more than anything.. how can anyone be stupid enough to agree to sign up with them.. don't you people have standards when it comes to being possibly used? get your holiday though don't you?

Lost respect for the players who left i-es for 4k, not that I ever had any for Greg anyway. Never respected 4k really, only Doug. However, the more and more I see the s*** they try to pull and their backdoor bashing fan boys pulling any strings they can, the more I think they all just need a good f***ing kicking to bring some reality checks home.

i still think ONE will have an even better chance this time, they have a squad which is totally dedicated to cs and want to prepare before an event for once ;D. They have been playing a lot and bootcamping which should see them looking tactically sound at the event.

4K have 2 "new" players for the tournament but their tactics and intelligence always seems to be above other clans and i think they will pull off another win in the end :o

But with the tourney being single elimination and 4Ks notorious poor starts to tournaments then anything could happen.

shame about i-es they looked like a strong side before ppl starting bailing but with an offer from 4K i think most ppl would leave and be loving it
