TSG and United 5 Merge

Posted by Myers at 08:25 9/8/2004.

Two gaming clans, both alike in dignity, in fair America, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where GotFrag? reports a merger most obscene.

Two of America's best Counter-Strike teams have merged, TSG, who finished a disappointing 13th - 16th at CPL after a 4th placing at ESWC, and United5, 3rd at Everlan and 17th - 24th at CPL, now all live within the Chicago area.

Earlier this summer, Hare moved to Chicago after finishing his freshman year at Purdue University to move into an apartment with TSG's cbz, sunman, and Josh. Not too long afterwards, United 5's tr1p moved into this apartment as well, and the ideas of a possible merger came into play.
Volcano has now joined 3D. Were there ever any plans of keeping Volcano in the new United 5 team?
United [5] * cbz: Yes. We had 4 members that were in it for sure: cbz, sunman, hare, josh. We did a bit of thinking. Everyone loves Sal, and it seemed like if we were gonna have a non-local player, we'd make the exception for Grofty. With his experience and considering how long we've known each other, it seemed like a good decision. We then realized he would be needing money as he is going into his first year of college, and we wouldn't be able to provide for him as much as 3D could. We wish him the best of luck with 3D and he'll always be our tsg`volcano!

The final lineup looks like: Michael "Hare" O'Toole, Eric "da_bears" Stromberg, Charlie "cbz" Pyo, Justin "sunman" Summy and Josh "dominator" Sievers. That hub of all things American, Gotfrag?, has the full scoop.

On the subject of clan mergers CAL-P side Arctic Thugz have reportedly united with Caution! under the UK sides' name. Whilst I try to stay positive regarding most teams' activities I cannot fathom how this will benefit either team. Unless they have a large sponsorship deal in the wings or are planning to bootcamp together?

	Myers Saviour of UKT UKTerrorist 09:14 9/8/2004	Typical post-CPL changes really. Where teams that were holding off on changes until after CPL, make them whilst others begin the witch hunt looking for scapegoats for their bad performance. It'll be interesting to see if any major names are ousted. [ Score: 2, informative \| Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
