TEAM AUSTRIA NEWZ!

After spending several evenings and hours talking to n3co about the future of the prestigious team-austria we've finally come to a decision. First of all we thought about quitting Enemy Territory at all, hence leaving the already crippled nations team as a feast for the crows.

But, to be honest, how could we do this, knowing that private hacks undercut the whole scene? We thought about what a new, a follow-up nations team might look like and knew that our first plan definitely had to be reconsidered.
But who was still there to form a team for a future nations cup event? Basically too few guys for a stable lineup. We dug deep in the austrian enemy territory history and sorted out guys who once were considered good enough to represent our beautiful country and who might still be a good choice for a „modern“ team.

When checking the actual lineup, there'll surely be some guys who might think „oh my god, that's sooooo unfair, i pwn all these guys and am not in the team!“. That's why i first of all would like to explain why some guy's names won't appear in our roster:

First of all we got the ex-Egoboys guys. Their team has been superb, their lineup stable for at least 20 minutes. SFX-Egoboys clearly had the potential to win the whole CDC event, their management reliance was that immense that they would have paid the whole trip (at least that's what i got told several times). Anyway, unfortunately they never attended the lan, which made n3co weep on comms. He was so keen on spec'ing beasty playing within a supposedly cheat-free environment. Very disappointed, the team captain made clear that this extremely suspicious guy will never ever be allowed to play under the austrian flag anymore. That's something i just had to agree with.

The other egoboy guy – namely Deadly – is told to be a reallifer nowadays. Besides, after playing with so many suspicious guys it would have even been a tough decision whether to let him play or not anyway.

Jan and scorch definitely showed what they are made of at the lan. The reason why they won't be playing with us is simple: It even seemed like they managed to get their hax running on the lan pcs. As we do not approve hackers to be a part of our team, how should we justify to pick guys who were not even playing legit on a lan event? Their aim was just too perfect to be actually human. Just kidding, they sucked on lan.

t0m left the ET battlefields for Quakewars. n/c.

Last but not least i have to mention xet: He clearly was one of the star players on the cdc lan. Together with his top-notch team n1ce.it, he simply outaimed every player in group A (including mAus). It's hard to miss such a player for an entire season, but being in the army at the moment, he simply won't be able to play.

We still got some more guys who are currently under consideration to be nominated for the austrian nations-team, but our roster will hopefully look like this:

n3co
mig
bruzl4h
olf des todes
artis
zebra
Owna

Here an interview with top-rifle player olf des todes

Limbonic: Hi Olf, tell us about yourself.
Olf: Well, I guess most guys who have been around for quite a time should know me. So I don't really get the point why I should introduce myself at all. I've been playing for teams like sms green, noobs.at and so on and decided to stop playing about 2 years ago.
Limbonic: So, what are your ambitions, how come you decided to start playing enemy territory again?
Olf: Well, it was you guys to inform me about the fact that quite a load of cheaters are ruining the reputation of competitive ET nowadays. Being a professional cyclist in real life I am familiar with the fact that cheating and drug abuse can ruin competitions. It seems like „Fair Play“ has taken a back seat, it's about time to deal with this problem. I guess my participation in this season's team austria shows my will to change something!


Ok, that should be all for now. See you soon on the battlefield!
