Call Of Duty

Changes at the CoD4 'top'

by Sainted • 20 Nov 2007, 09:01 • News
After a nice performance at the CoD-Gamer LAN just a few days ago the former Call of Duty 2 top team and WSVG Dallas winners Europe TeK-9 announced two players have dropped from the team. First is the German top player Germany L-KiNG, who teamed up with TeK-9 at the beginning of this year after leaving the Call of Duty legends Germany Team SPEEDLINK. His departure from TeK-9 is explained because of a lack in motivation for now. The second player is the Dutch Call of Duty 2 star Netherlands haya, who joined TeK-9 in April this year after his former team Netherlands suXus eSports fell apart. haya quits professional gaming to focus more on real life commitments.

For now TeK-9 have not announced any new players joining up with the team, so they will continue with the following lineup:
Belgium davy
Netherlands knaller
France OZWALD

Another well known team which moved to Call of Duty 4 is United Kingdom Reason Gaming, however they too faced some lineup issues. Reason Gaming's player & former United Kingdom Team Dignitas sniper United Kingdom trainee as well as Reason Gaming oldskooler Norway torsh have announced to have no interest in playing Call of Duty 4 competitively. To fill up the slots left by these two top players Reason Gaming have announced they will be adding former Team Dignitas powerhouse United Kingdom dales and former United Kingdom Team eSoureUK player United Kingdom vasquez. Last but possibly not least they will be adding a former Soldier of Fortune 2 top player, United Kingdom rzE.

After these changes the lineup of Reason Gaming becomes as following:
Ireland Karl
United Kingdom benz1ne
United Kingdom NiGGLE
United Kingdom dales
United Kingdom vasquez
United Kingdom rzE

It will not be very surprising if other former Call of Duty 2 top teams make changes to their lineups, CoD4 is a new game after all and some players lack motivation, skill or interest in this new title. At the same time players from various other games such as SoF2, W:ET, CS(S) and Battlefield will get a chance to prove themselves worthy of playing among the Call of Duty 4 top.

This changes things, TeK-9 losing their consistency and now having a period of rebuilding will help level the playing field between them and the other teams who have recently had changed but have a strong history. It wont be difficult for them to pickup some star players, I'd be interested to see whether they get some supermega oldschool star!
In truth though, its much better they did this now than in a few months when competitions and money will be up for grabs.

And GL reason! Stay together this time

how can you say that they are the "top" @ cod4 after a few weeks?

anyway goodluck

Sainted 20 Nov 2007, 11:04
They are expected to perform well among the top because they have much experience playing Call of Duty 2 and in TeK-9's case have already proven to be a strong contender.

Its no surprise that davy was good in cod2 like he was in cod1, just like it was no surprise that mystic was good in et like he was in rtcw.

jocke 20 Nov 2007, 12:24
However, the gap between cod2 and cod4 is bigger than in the examples u wrote, or?

Sainted 20 Nov 2007, 12:30
If they keep removing new features that will soon be in the past and CoD4 will just be a reskinned version of CoD2 :P

mmm everyone keeps saying that cod2 top=cod4 top but i dont think thats true. Let's see what the top will be, i dont expect it to be all-cod2.

The guys at the cod2 top have more experience and alot more dedication disclipline etc. and as you can see from recent lan events, top teams are still up there in the top 3. dignitas, tlr, tek9, h2k...

Longbow 20 Nov 2007, 17:12
why would they have more experience, dedication, discipline etc. then pro teams from other scenes?
Parent

vanner 20 Nov 2007, 23:20
experience in et is different to someone whos been the top and knows the in ands out of cod games. It makes a big difference, et is a different game.

So far the only decent teams I've played either came from cod2 or sof2, BFers were the worst till now ^^

Wrong URL for TeK-9 (www.tek-9.net) is the correct one.

Nice read, gl to both TeK-9 and Reason in the future!
