Tonight Kritikal left Landed in a move that's going to shock the world. Without no further that weird french sounding word I'll let KritikaL explain it all:
When i joined landed i joined with the expectations that i would get a large chance to change stuff in the team, which i personally think would have done them well. As time went past i got given a very tiny chance to change stuff, i got chance to change tactics and stuff but i didnt really get a real grip on the clan.
In my opinion the team needed a large change in personnel i might be wrong , but thats what i feel.
Then about 3 weeks into joiining the clan i got told that weve gotta go to oxford to speak about the future of the clan on the 22nd of january.. i was up for going, then we started talking what it was about, i started getting told it was about landed getting money and lan sponsorship.
Now i aint a fan of 4kings for having the money which they have because i dont believe that they deserve it because their results recently arnt that brilliant and i believe there are teams without sponsorship who deserve more. Well now i hear Landed are getting money, and what exactly have they done ?! apart from my ex team beat them 13-0 13-3 13-4 and them losing @ every lan event in first round i just dont understand why a team with such bad results can now get sponsorship deals and so on.... doesnt feel right sorry.
There you have it, now lets see how many comments we can manage on this post. In other news Undone joined lastchance, good luck to both players.
Update
Here's Coopsy from the Landed staff's reply to this situation:
just like to add that Luke was never on a contract, partly because he wasnt in the team long enough to even discuss it and
there has been no mention of any money, sponsorship or anything to that effect.. what lies in the future for the Landed.cs team is their own making and we will continue to support them in every way we can
Lukes decision to leave are for his own reasons, ones that I dont agree with, and I wish him well in what he does next. I am a fan of his, I think he's an excellent player and an invaluable asset to a team but we did not bring in him to the team to change how it works like a coach, but to be part of it

More to the point, if kritikal knew they were going to get a bunch of money and sponsorship, he's a pretty clever guy to leave isn't he?
He's a kid who constantly has to change teams and shake stuff up to keep himself in the communities eye, because he does absoultely f*** all else for people to recognise him for. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Kritikal, when are you going to learn that sponsorship doesn't befall the teams with the best lan results. Being good is important sure, but do you really think that Mr.Ati or Mr.nVidia Marketing Director is going to trawl through websites looking for results from the innumerable requests they get each month?
No, of course now, they would rather work with a team that have efficient/well-organised management and structure, can act professionally, present themselves in a decent manner, and be prepared to put the effort in to ensuring both the needs of the team and the sponsors are met. Elements that all of krit's former teams have lacked.
I would love to know what Landed's potential sponsor thought/would think if they read this "So because we want to give you money, your players are quitting?"
Good luck nonetheless Daniel. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

And as Myers and Macca said, major companies couldn't give a flying f*** if you beat NoA 13-0. What does that mean to them? They care about their brand name being carried by a professional bunch of guys. Proved by Intel and 4k. When was the last time 4k did anything major on the international stage? It's the way the act and the image of professionalism around the team that gets them the sponsorship (and being the best in the UK :x) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The mad monthly roster changes?
The missing of flights to a bootcamp?
Not having a SINGLE representative in the current UK nations cup?
The immaturity of some of the members?

oh dear....... He's a decent enough player but really?
We have no sponsorship what so ever, we have an oppurtunity with Landed management behind us if we ever step up a gear. If we dont then we remain where we are. I think Luke pld a total of about 10 pcws with us most of which were sorting out some new tactics and trying to get some decent teamplay going. The one thing c4u never learnt was that great lan results with a bunch of loud mouthed, racist arrogant cheating kids means nothing to a sponsor. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

All i can say is the landed guys are fair top notch guys that deserve everything they get as they act like a nice proffessional unit which is very pleasent to see as its so rare you get that.
Landed themselves know where their current skill level lies in terms of UK CS at LAN and wether we agree with it or not is not for us to assess and wether they deserve any sponsorship or not i dont think thats any of our business either,wether they end up getting 10,000 a year or a 10p mix up for playing this game who the f*** cares as long as i keep seeing their friendly faces at lan then thats a good thing.
