feruS & Blaze drafted

Two of Crossfires prodigal son's have been drafted into CounterStrike Source teams at the CGS European combine!

Sweden feruS has been drafted into the Stockholm Magnetik which was a widely expected move having been playing with them for the entire draft. Having only just turned 18 he joins now as he couldnt previously. feruS was rated the #1 player who quit CS:S just months ago and returns to scene to instant acclaim, with both teams showing an interest in him.

Netherlands Blaze formerly of GMPO and MYSOD fame in RTCW has been picked up by the Berlin Allianz and leaves his long time teammates at Fnatic. Blaze recently returned to fnatic and his return saw the team's fortune rise with it, Fnatic were expected last year to be drafted in as a team for the CGS however were not at the expense of NoA. They will again feel upset not to have been drafted having won the CS:Source tournament at the event this weekend.

By being drafted the players are now salaried to play for their team and will be headed of to Los Angeles to play live on DirecTV this summer.

Parent
TOUCHÉ!!!!!!!!!
Parent
any possible way to watch it live?
Eurosport will broadcast CGS in Europe as far as I know.
Parent
what sort of contract deals are they getting? is it just hyped or is it actually good :P

and blaze, first demo I ever saw - sten from window on sub =) lucky enough to play against both of them too... lucky them I mean ^_^
lmfao, fanboy!!
Parent
if you mean that I thought he was skilled, and had an attitude to match, then yes - fanboy detected.
Parent
If you're the franchise player then it's good, but for example if you're someone like Blaze who wasn't drafted in the first season and have only been recruited now, you get the lowest wage irrespective of skill. Give me an email address and I'll forward the contract they've to sign, NA version mind you.
Parent
appreciated :) long read though! :P

I read some bits, I guess its down to CSS - but no talking while dead. I'd breah my contract within perhaps less than half a round :D

isnt it Sweden Blaze ?
If you want to see some frags of Netherlands blaze, you have to watch the GMPO trailer at Quakecon.
Parent
blaze was like a terminator, why u think they made him look like a robot in GMPO's movie road to quakecon, in cod: top player, in css: one of the bests
Parent
why did u reply on me?! i dont know him -.-
Parent
"a describtion of a player given to a player we doesn't know that guy" ??? U thought it was a swedish guy, so i just say who the real blaze is;), OFC
Parent
Good Luck Gents.
I wanna be paid also to play games :o
Good Luck both!
Best of luck Macke! ;)
will fnatic remove there css squad or look for 2 more players?
Good question, afaik they're only looking for one player though as ferus wasnt in Fnatic. But Blaze was a HUGE player to lose, maybe its the end for them :x
Parent
xertion was also in fnatic but he also got drafted afink
Parent
how big is their salary?
foodtickets:p
Parent
If I remember correctly it is about 35'000$/y.

Good luck Markus. :O)
Parent
that's pretty nice :-)

I just found the most recent url about this topic.

Although it's in german, I guess you understand the most important parts. ;-)
Parent
31.000 $ in 16 months
Parent
Id wait with that too - in a year that could exchange for double =)
Parent
yea. say If I had the contract, current £ > $ exchange is £1 = $2, the 'normal' is £1 = $1.5 so when/if it all settles down, I would make around £5,000 more than if I exchanged now. worth waiting imo at least with the majority of it. Can buy a Car with that =P
Parent
gl blaze ;)
omg ferus omg
