TAG.TeppuM replaced by NIRee

Posted by Myers at 17:08 16/3/2004.

Today Morgan Withers, better known as TeppuM from Team AMD Gamer, retired from gaming. His decision is due to various factors, the biggest of which is not having enough time to dedicate to the game anymore.

I will be moving back to Wales at the end of the month to start a new accountancy job, where I will be spending alot of time on the job, due to this I decided to step down as a player to concentrate more on the management side of things to help the team along.

TeppuM has been a member of several teams the biggest of which being Imminent and OMG!. During his time with these two teams he helped them to a 2nd place at UKT 3, top 5 at UKT 4, top 16 at Euskal CPL Qualifiers in Spain and 4th at Wipeout LAN in Switzerland.

His replacement, Kasper "NIRee" Samwel is a recognised figure in the gaming community following his time with SK.sca and xP.se. During his time with xP.se he helped defeat 4K in the finals of the ClanBase Eurocup and finish 2nd at both the CXG Greek qualifiers and Euskal CPL qualifiers. NIRee had this to say:

Today Im pleased to join Team Amd Gamer,I will replace TeppuM as a player, I hope my experience and motivation will improve and guide the team to many victories. My first event with the team will be Pro1 Games in Latvia, where we of course hope to prove ourselves.

UKTerrorist would like to wish the best of luck to both players.

Why the hell can't we have UK players in our top 3 teams? All 3 of them have foreigners in now! I think it's time for 4K, TAG, I-eS to change to an EU banner rather than the UK flag, perhaps give real British teams a chance to get some attention.

Do we really have that few new decent UK players that the best teams are forced to go overseas for new players? Or is it that the new players who ARE decent are labelled cheaters? TAG/I-eS/4K should be poaching from c4u imo, not has-been swedish clans. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

When 96 percent of Americans don’t know the main attributes of potatoes, it's time to pull out all the stops and set the record straight. In response to the food confusion sweeping the nation, The United States Potato Board (USPB) conducted extensive consumer research and found that only 6 percent of survey respondents thought that potatoes were rich in vitamin C, when, in fact, one medium (5.3 ounce) potato contains 45 percent of the recommended Daily Value for this essential nutrient. And, only 34 percent considered potatoes with skins to be rich in potassium, when they are actually an excellent source of this mineral – higher than broccoli, spinach, or bananas. And, only 4.2 percent of respondents thought that potatoes were BOTH rich in vitamin C and potassium. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

It's because the UK players aren't good enough Del. UK doesn't play consistently enough at a high enough level with a view to improves its game, so it produces lots of people who aren't up to the standard of the foreign talent being brought in. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

why is a players nationality so important to you? do you drive around with a british flag on your car window?

who cares what country a player is from, i think nationalism is just a bi-product of stupidity and xenophobia. I doubt 4K, I-eS or TAG really care too much about upholding the ethics of some uk randomers, they want to win matches, and they need a team that bonds well together. You dont need to be of the same nationality to bond. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

WCG will just be 4K/I-eS sharing players or a mixture of the top clans, np. TAG/I-eS/4K could mix all there players up if they wanted to.

I think this is the way games as a whole will be going now, with all the top clans being more of a mix of nationalities all trying to get the best players no matter where they are from (within reason obviously).

With better and better internet in europe it makes online practice more easier for these clans, and sponsorship providing more opportunities to LAN together.

Shame though as its always nice to support a "local" clan full of players from your own country. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Del, UK players dont have the mentality to be in the top teams bar the very few, most of them are out to prove their "leet" rather than playing the game for what it is, swedens attitude to gaming is ttoaly different, hence their average player is probably as good as our "top" player (bar mangicapra whos on par with the top swedes no doubt), so yes there is a lack of UK players, but not nessacarily down to Skill, but attitude.
