Impact gaming find themselves looking for a 5th (online) player tonight as R0SS found himself at the center of a bitter clan versus country row. The Impact lineup still fighting in the Clanbase Eurocup have found themselves already shuffling the pack collecting Razz from Colt45, and the irony is it was that move that set the whole chain of events off.
Ross took charge of the UK team after the depature of Kamz, with the UK just one match away from the final. His decision to practice tonight with the UK team ahead of the game against Estonia ended in a debate with his manager eVo, one that left him with the ultimatum, Impact or the UK - not both. Ross chose the UK a decision that has left him both out of Nations Cup and out of Impact. Ironically however, Ross would never have taken the captaincy had Impact not plucked Razz from Colt 45, leaving Kamz to quit his roll as UK Captain.
On the decision, eVo had this to say:
"OK myself and Ross had a strong disagreement over whether he should be calling off prac's for Impact to prac for the UK, as far as i am concerned my responsibility is to Impact and making sure we are prepared as possible for LAN, i took objection to Ross's attitude and he took objection to mine, we probably both overreacted in hindsight, didn't help i was in a bad mood before the argument but i stand by my position which is that the team comes before NC however I understand he has a responsibility to the team"
When questioned about the fact eVo himself is a former UK Captain:
"Yes and I appreciate the issues that come with captain, however thats just being on the other side of the fence for you, anyway I think possibly we both maybe overeacted but that happens sometimes"
Two camps Ross wont find comfort in are the colt 45 camp, nor anywhere near Jere who can still remember his very public ousting from YoYoTech prior to CIC7.
Impacts Lineup to attend AEF remains, as it did prior to todays decisions:
snoop
mystic
sheep
gifty
sqz

What the fuck is this bullshit? Don't bother me with shitty quotes I don't give a crap about.
That last line is good! I'll use that in future :D
no need for some ridiculous debate
guess you know the jere case anyway
Ross seems to be really outstanding in getting into trouble!
Did Razz get kicked, leave or never was part of the lan lineup? If he got kicked why is sqzz still playing with them?
But still pretty harsh double-standards. :D
the nationscup would be over in... 2 weeks? or even only 1?
so there would have been enough time to prac?
btw wheres razz? :<
well, any lineup with mystic in it is invincible
imo that's great news lol
2. Kamz feels backstabbed by Impacts UK players and leaves UK team
3. Ross takes over captaincy
4. Razz gets removed from Impact
5. eVo issues ultimatum to Ross, prac with UK and you're outta impact
6. Ross leaves Impact
7. UK lose to Estonia
its a timeline just for u
- impact took sqzz from, c45
- 1/2 weeks passed
- impact took razz from c45
- kamz gets annoyed and drops his NC Captain because he didn't want to play with razz for doing that
- c45 dies, only playing offis now, they split up
- ross takes NC Captain role
- ross wants to practice with team UK, but this meant he can't practice with Impact (and sqzz + razz are in impact and UK aswell, so that would mean no prac for Impact)
- evo & ross have an argument
- evo tells ross to choose UK or Impact, ross decides to stick with UK, and razz follows his steps and quits because he didn't agree with evo's opinions
smth like that
:DDDD
50% is that you should have understood the situation having been the UK Captain before
nc -> nobody cares -> ???
i would understand it if impact would have had an EC match at the same evening
bringing r0ss into such a situation to decide... :D hell thats so childish, unsocial...WRONG
what are you doing if reallife stuff keeps one of your players away from a practise?
you also tell him; "eighter your granny's funeral or Team IMPAAAAAACT?" XDDDDD
you've not only failed as a citizen of the UK you've also failed as a Teammanager :<
peace out
I don't know about attitudes given or anything, nor do I care about that, but you can't blame him for making the only realistic choice.
:DDDD
you never get tired of it!
also, did razz leave or was he kicked?
But it's just to much drama to split up a team...
I mean after all UK lost from Estonia so a team lost 2 players for what, for nothing after all since it was just for one evening but hey... what the heck lets just bitch fight about it... I mean since when can eVo decide such things since there are no contracts after all that you can ask such things of you're players... i mean look at soccer even then the player will go play for it's nation's team instead of not playing for his club althrough they have a contract...
So after all i guess eVo should take his horses down and just say sorry and take the fella's back in impact.
[I hope you guys could understand my crappy english but hey i tryedt my best=D]
I originally said i wasnt gonna make a statement and leave it be to save the usual drama that happens when my name gets mentioned in news posts. However, after reading some people's comments i feel im entitled to give my view. The story is true, except for the fact i wasnt an official impact member, there was a number of discussions between me and paul (evo) about making it happen - but this never went far because of me having another lan team which will be starting in around 2 weeks and evo wanting to keep giving the lineup a try. I originally joined as a backup and only wanted to stay active until my own lan team began praccing.
Anyway, after a number of weeks of dissapointing pracs, lineup changes, inactivity etc we came to yesterday. After a few hours of prac with impact i mentioned to the impact team that me and sqzz wont be playing at all tomorrow due to the NC Loser Bracket Final game. After just receiving the captaincy little over a week ago i had to arrange a prac in some day, unfortunately for impact that was tonight - 2 hours before the game. When i came online i was greeted by a rather unpleasant message from evo that he couldnt give a shit about nc prac. I tried explaining that it was a decision that i couldnt avoid seeing as it was the only day we could prac and me having little time to act as uk captain. I obviously wanted to win the match tonight, not only for the UK sake but knowing if i lost the amount of utter garbage i would receive after making a few statements about kamz.
So after a heated discussion with evo I was told that if i played for uk i would have no part in Impact - which in truth wasnt a hard decision for me. A loser bracket final game to reach the grand final of NC is quite an important match. Its a shame me and sqzz were given an ultimatum when we were probably the 2 most loyal players but thats what happened. I still stand by my decision to prac for the uk seeing as Impact still dont have Gifty back from Australia, mystic being away for exams this week and tonight being a big match for both the players and the UK.
GL to the team and hope to see u in the future lans.
+ You seem to be much more interested in LANs, and as you're not playing for impact.lan it can't of been a hard decision.
we've had our differences in the past ( wel, he had them with vila and lio and I was stupid enough to get myself involved ), but I learned to respect him nonetheless
and your opinion about Evo in your earlier post well, nice opinion one someone who >possible< did one stupid thing during several faultless years
all i know is that he always tried to do the best for the team and obviously he did always really well, i never have seen any manager in et who watches every game of his team with such a enthusiasm(?). but nonetheless whatever happenend there doesnt justify such a childish behaviour of setting a ultimatum like "we or get leaved" - since all this is about, is (official) 2 hours of regular pracc.
this is my opinion :)
I wasn't monitoring irc and sheep came online and spammed us all for 3o3 before pracs,
- sqzz replied saying we have NC prac tonight from 7,
- sheep replied saying wtf thats retarded team > nc ,
- sqzz replied saying heh i dunno.
I then at home came online, probably in a bad mood from a shit days work replied saying franking i don't give a fuck about NC pracs its not my concern.
- Ross replied saying "well tough we are praccing with NC so deal with it"
Thats what really set me off and thats how the argument kicked off, it should never have been made public, i even had a private convo with gav where i said that if you guys had nicely put "its one night and its a big game, its not a regular occurrence i would almost certainly have just said ok go for it", but the way it was spoken to me made me instantly get into a fuck you frameset and then ross followed that up by saying "and if they win he would continue to prac with NC team", as far as i am concerned thats not acceptable, there are days Impact don't prac which he could use for NC prac, either way thats his issue, my concern is to the team.
......
mAus because he dont think
and btw having the choice between ross and snoop is not even worth it questioning...
strong lu for impact anyway, gl mike n sqzz
serious business
eVo is angrynerd
R0SS is just nerd
razz is quited nerd
KAMZ is weak nerd-leader
UK are n00B nerds
and impact is overhyped nerd-team
By saying this I do however have some exception for some UK people such as Toss, jizz, gnome, owzo, adacore, sheep & co.
But people like eVo & R0SS are really starting to piss me off. Starting to act like ET is the new G7 game making some really bad mistakes and being so ungrateful is really a shame.
Currently the only positive thing I can see in eVo is his adorable cute baby, but that't it. May sound a bit harsh but from I read and know you are in my eyes the black sheeps in this community currently, you even overrun Robaciek for that matter.
Long live the Vikings.
Maybe those English are the only ones you follow/read about, and the fact that you hate eVo/ross is because they rarely get good news written about them on here, what a stupid base for the foundations of your flawed from the start opinions.
You even admit your opinions are based on what other people write.
I would put it to you, that not only do the British have a sense of Grandeur that we may not deserve anymore, but every country has had that, referring to your use of the Vikings here.
Long live the Vikin...oh wait.
:D
how come you have no respect for the Danish Vikings?
The Jere issue is cleared now and there is in fact no bad blood between me and Jere. You can ask him this yourself. The fact that i took a lot of crap for that scenario when it was a team decision shows imo how loyal i was to the team. I admitted that the way i did it was wrong, but that was my mistake.
The Kamz issue there are a lot of untold stories here. There was no issue with kamz leaving the UK team, in fact we still had a decent relationship then. When it turned sour was when kamz started pming VAE telling them they should get a forfeit win and trying to stich 3 of his fellow UK players up. A lot of stories u hear or read especially with me involved arent 100% accurate, but i dont take it so serious that i have to write a statement to try and prove this. I originally told evo i wasnt going to comment on this newspost until i read a few comments i didnt agree with.
To your last point about UK not wearing their hearts on their sleaves is rubbish. I have always been very patriotic and always will be. I agree that Nations Cup isnt as honourable as it used to be but that doesnt mean i wont try and do as much as i can to win. Im a very competitive person, hence me wanting to prac and win for the UK leading to this scenario with Impact. You always seemed to have a grudge against me and im not sure why, but ur entitled to ur opinon. Sorry for the long reply.
nice proving his point in the very first sentance of ure reply xD
and evo wtf are you thinking? couldnt give out a couple of hours for an uk pracc oh yh the team you once also captained, and kicking ross for that reason when hes a backup for player who hasnt even played et in the last few months and wont be playing for another month if im correct.
some people aint got a fucking clue.
Technoviking is amused!
one gets kicked, other one joins.. np
Ross doesn't care because he is starting his own team.
So that leaves the community, who care more than the people involved. Super interesting stuff.
E-Drama again...
nice lu
razz - sqzz - ross
I've never seen you pracc with a full lineup , always evo in there or someone else so ...
And now you recruit 2 new people to change the lineup again in june when Toxic & Gifty will be avi again , you can't pracc decent now anyway so who the fuck cares if you miss this pracc week... You are just a mix team nowadays
on a sidenote ;
gl Mike n others :o)
well, just another team that will get beaten by rahul's soldiers on lan.
DONE YOUR QUEEN PROUD SON
xoxo
As if it made much of a difference anyway, one prac..
Evo should understand by now that they would obviously prefer to play for few hours under Uk flag. It was a decisive game, wouldn't last so long.
SOOOO:
- Fake story?
- Evo gone mad?
- Bad day from Evo's side?
Also serious nerdy business is serious uh!?!
After so much failures by impact side, 2 hours wouldn't make the difference.
