After the fallout of the SK and 4Kings Warcraft III teams, ALTERNATE aTTaX acquired the first part of its Warcraft team by picking up DeMusliM and XLorD. Now, aTTaX has picked up the starComa team, completing its roster:
Benjamin ‘DeMusliM’ Baker (United Kingdom)
Peter ‘Firestrike’ Staudacher (Austria)
Daniel ‘XLorD’ Spenst (Germany)
Stefan ‘dArk’ Lehmann (Germany)
Marc ‘yAwS’ Förster (Germany)
Moritz ‘coru’ Wagner (Germany)
Julian ‘Fisch’ Höbener (Germany)
Dennis ‘impact’ Kalsen (Germany) Continued…
The German gaming team aTTaX, known for its world class Counter-Strike squad, is now making moves on the RTS market. The last few days brought two transfers of well known players into aTTaX.
As of today, aTTaX’s Warcraft 3 team consists of three players - Peter “Firestrike” Staudacher (Austria), Daniel “XlorD” Spenst (Germany) and Ben “DeMusliM” Baker (United Kingdom). DeMusliM joined with aTTaX after he parted with Four Kings, saying he “got tired of broken promises” and of “not being taken seriously.”
XlorD joined a couple of days earlier after he was released from SK Gaming. Both XlorD and DeMusliM are young and considered to be promising Warcraft 3 players.
The Warcraft player turnover continues with another chain of team changes and players finding new homes.
Following HoT’s departure from SK Gaming, Undead player XlorD also left the team. It’s quite an interesting move, since XlorD was the player that secured SK’s victory over MYM in WC3L. Rumors say he’ll be joining a Germany-based team and won’t be out of action for too long. With two players leaving SK, others may follow suit (Insomnia mentioned the Extreme Masters may be the last event he’ll be playing in).
In other news, 4Kings’ Warcraft III team faces another departure. After losing ToD to Mousesports, their other Human warrior, Ben “DeMusliM” Baker, has dropped off the roster. Initially recruited to represent Four Kings in the United Kingdom, Baker later played matches for the mainstream team alongside Grubby and ToD. An official statement from the 4Kings webpage reads:
“Today, 4Kings sadly has to announce that the organisation and the player were not able to agree on continueing the working relation, and therefore DeMusliM is released from his duties within 4Kings. “
4Kings hasn’t been putting up results like it used to. Let’s hope a revamped roster and some new recruits will continue the dynasty.
The World Cyber Games grand finals event is underway in Seattle. With group play still going on, everyone is watiing for the playoffs. But before you have a savory meal in a fancy restaurant, you want to have a proper appetizer.
The WCG group phase in Warcraft 3 does exceptionally well to whet our appetites for the playoffs phase. Half of the elimination bracket is already filled with the names of the players. It goes (the names in square brackets are Wire’s predictions):
XyLigan vs. [player from E2]
ToD vs. [player from F2]
XlorD vs. [player from G2]
SoJu vs. [xiaOt or Grubby]
[SaSe] vs. HoT
[Fly100%] vs. Spirit Moon
[Creolophus] vs. HasuHasi
[xiaOt or Grubby] vs. Sky
