CDC4 and CGS LAN winners fnatic have just announced some serious teamchanges, just days after a dissapointing performance at the Multiplay i34 in Warwickshire. With a 7-8th, 4th and 9-12th placing at the three major LAN events this summer, things had taken a turn for the worse with tidde stating "that over the weeks we've been splitting up as a team and divided into groups."
According to fnatic General Manager Joe Miller "the teams recent slumps at AEF, TEX and i34 meant it was time for a change in Fnatic". The Swedish team is expected to announce their two new recruits in the coming weeks and are currently left with the following three players:
tidde
odyx
LINQAN
Statement from tidde
Statement from mintR
The team will be looking for 2 new replacements in the upcomming weeks.

btw Tidde has asked me to snipe and morg to smg to complete the lineup and the most awesome team ever, but nobody else would stand a chance so we declined!
ohboi .. i'm so allergic against bullshit !!
it's that they act as if they're a gawd damn big company..
ofcourse there's a shitload of money involved, but still..
it's a gaming-clan, no gawd damn car manufacturer :xD ..
"y0, i've bought me this kickass fnatic marotto, 560hp, 200nM .. and WOW!!"
it sounds like they have more managing people involved than juventus turin have!
And btw, a LTD always has atleast 2 positions to fill before you can found it.
i've been in such mgc's before, just they hadn't had titles like general manager and all that, but still they did the same!
WTF?
i'm off to bed have a good day
for 2moro:
k, so you have a status, now the next thing to do is finding out what kind of titles they use and what the functions are behind that. Your result will be that the structure of fnatic, mym and sk is working and running since years compared to a not as well organized crew as alosers or ephix. They just see the title, think its great and copy it, without even knowing what to do as smth called like that.
With all those positions, they are srsly better working and will keep doing this in future comapred to some random "et" teams (ephix) or some random clan (alosers, they wasted german quake talents for years f.e.)
You understand my point?
but other than that, they knew what they did, just this one schoenheitsfehler not having contracts broke their neck .. so don't be sayin a-Losers weren't that..
with contracts, jonny_R could've not taken neo from a-losers with to mouz.. for exsample.
all crap like this broke a-Losers apart.. dumbness .. ;)
oh and about money & a-losers. i think very view know what really was going on moneywise over @ a-Losers. i do know the core of a-L did have shitloads of stuff + money from their sponsors. i dont know what the cs teams got .. i think a part of the price money they won or so...
besides that, sk might be the biggest mgc doing so. i mean, who is able paying 5 cs players a monthly bill of 2000€ if not sk ?
nevertheless, it's not our fuckin business ;) ..
Same for MYM.
Best of luck to all involved for the future.
p.s. TosspoT would talk to opponents into submission gaining landmark lan victories, but the world is not ready :o)
nice to all read all those friendly words n stuff, but at the end of the day they both got kicked because they didnt play that impressive at 2-3 events. so some other guys will step in and might win 1-2 tournaments for them. just until the randomness of the game strikes once again and another player has to leave.
@wEAK
CoD4 is not random, its competitive - form counts for a lot if theres a few lans in a short period of time, on form teams will perform most likely better than others - imo pushing through bad periods with a team cant lead to much better and longer success (this is of course unless one or more players literally arent putting in the time/effort/effecting others play negatively!)
that's smth i will never understand.
but still i kinda doubt that EG will remain some shining star in cod4 scene for long.
guess a serious, well balanced competitive gaming title is able to host a real "#1 star team", cod4 definitely isn't and that's not because there are so many supertalented cod4 players out there.
Remeber the game is still new
right on the money, it makes the CoD4 competitive scene that much more interesting.
ohohohoholllolololo cod2>cod4 the more random and slower then its more btr
And the funniest of all is that if any class in any game needs aim, it's the sniper in cod4. And hey, guess what. mintR stopped performing like he used to and the whole team collapses. Man, how random!
now i'm not saying cod4 is an easy game (it is easy against shitty teams), but it comes down to mostly map knowledge and communication on ventrilo. in a game where you can just crouch around and make no sounds, luck begins to play a huge factor. you can try and predict where they'll go but against a good opponent you just have to get lucky because they'll be trying to think what you're thinking :p
cod4 does have many luck factors whereas ET was more concrete. everything was timed, and all the weapons were basically equal. a better strat won you the match. cod4 is a lot more luck based and random but that also can make it fun and much MUCH more fun to watch.
aiming in the assault and smg classes is a JOKE in cod4. if you can track in ET you can track in cod4.
I've played the mamut.si team on 3 different maps in month's time in COD4 with my own team, and we rick rolled them 3 times, the 4th time, they just left the server before we even started.
Those aren't bad gamers, I've watched them pull off incredible stuff at ETTV. Never however did we feel that we were being out-aimed. Does their positioning cause this? I'm not too sure myself, the thing is that they can't get their talent transported towards COD4 from what I've seen.
Next thing you see are those players bashing on COD4. Is it frustration, or does it have another source?
I for one really like q3 and even an occasional game of ET. Not even by far am I able to play how I'd like to, but I don't feel the need to slander these games because I know that I'm not willing to put up enough time to get decent at these games.
a better strat won you the match.
It can win you a map on COD4 aswell. People learn to avoid the elements that cause randomness in the maps as best as possible.
The sprinting however really makes the game heavier in the adapting part for me, it's not really a strat, it's more about getting experience and learning how to deal with this flexibility. District and crash have become prime examples of that for me lately. Teams can come back from nasty situations by simply rotating quicker than the defending team is willing to give up a bombspot they have stacked, the sprinting only adds more speed to this.
seems awfully similar to landmines in et does it not? set nades take no skill, just memory. just like landmines in ET. you know they're there but you just have to be lucky in avoiding them. why not disable nades for the first 10 seconds of a map? i just dont see how set nades = skill. 10 landmines in et was stupid, and were limited, why not limit the nades in cod4 a little bit?
Not getting the chance to play any good teams (cause they hide in their invite chan) in the beginning (except you guys) didn't help either. We probably had our first good (and last) practise games on that Acer LAN against KC and H2K.
However we have stopped playing the game pretty much after that LAN, so I doubt we'll meet again in this game ;-)
just xD
fnatic, dignitas ,reason and tek9
dignitas will have a full UK line up probably. they'll merge with MYM
and infused will split up cause 2 of them will join reason.
(Nice to see CoD news starting to get some comments!)
:D made me laugh
zEm was getting inactive, and not taking "pro-gaming" that serious, he's a good player to bad he got released by fnatic.
I'm wondering witch teams are going to pick them up, alot of teams are reforming lately for the new season, and hopefully some new nice teams will pop-out and hopefully I could see mintr back into the scene.
If you think you got so much knowledge, why you never played the game, and why are you still playing a dead game. Thought you should know better. Anyways, have a nice day.
As for the "stfu", I agree with you. But perhaps you should tell bidy this as he wrote the comment, rather than me.
