Fnatic picked up Clan Go in a move restoring their status in the Warcraft III world. Clan Go has had trouble finding a stable organization in the past, parting ways with NoA after their absence from the NGL-One Finals. Fnatic had to separate from its Warcraft III team not too long ago, creating a mutual interest for both teams.
Focus and Shy rejoin Clan Go after some time at MYM. Both players are top notch and produce great results, bolstering the team’s status even more. Unfortunately, Ohjie was pulled into the Korean military. Expect some good results now, with Clan Go backed by a great sponsor and with a great lineup.
Their current roster:
- fnatic.Shy
- fnatic.FoCuS
- fnatic.Space
- fnatic.MinHyuk
- fnatic.Kei
- fnatic.YanGe
The gaming press from all over the world has voted for Players and Revelations of 2007 in Counter-Strike, Warcraft 3 and Quake 4. For the first time in the award’s history, two players will share an award.
The Player of the Year in Counter-Strike is Filip “NEO” Kubski from Meet Your Makers. He won two out of three of the most prestigious tournaments in 2007 with PGS Gaming and performed very well for the large part of the year. He received 37 points, 10 more than Patrick “cArn” Sattermon (27 points) and the 2006 Player of the Year Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg (17).
Mickael “mSx” Cassisi is the Revelation of 2007 in Counter-Strike. The award is traditionally given to the players that made the biggest breakthrough in one year, and mSx was the player that took emuLate to a gold medal in the World Cyber Games. The Frenchman got 29 points. Just four points behind him was mTw’s Christoffer Sunde, who was the ESWC and WCG runner up with his danish team, known in 2007 as NoA. Continued…
Every year, GGL invites several prominent e-Sports coverage sites to vote for the e-Sports Players of the Year. The categories cover three e-Sports games with long traditions and histories: Quake (in this case, Quake 4), Warcraft III and Counter-Strike 1.6.
Each voter (or site) selects three players from every category and assigns them a rank from 1-3. Rank 1 receives 5 points, Rank 2 receives 3 points, and Rank 3 receives 1 point. At the end of the voting process, the points are tallied and the winners are announced. You can see the 2006 winners at GGL.com in a legacy format.
Without further ado, let’s name the 2007 nominees: Continued…
After the disbandment of 4Kings’ Warcraft III squad, the ‘net was rife with rumors and speculation about where Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen would end up. Wait no more: Grubby has officially joined MeetYourMakers, rounding out a powerhouse lineup.
The team’s full roster looks like this:
MYM.Moon (Night Elf)
MYM.Shy (Night Elf)
MYM.Eve (Night Elf)
MYM.Storm (Human)
MYM.Lucifer (Undead)
MYM.Susiria (Undead)
MYM.Focus (Orc)
MYM.Ciara (Orc)
MYM.Konna (Orc)
MYM.Grubby (Orc)
They seem a bit low on Human players, but it could just be me. Having Grubby, Moon and Lucifer under one (proverbial) portends bad things for other teams.
The Player Awards for the Warcraft 3 Champions League season XII have been announced during the WC3L finals in Cologne last weekend.
