I. The Movie : Electronic Sahara 2011 Files



II. The History

Electronic Sahara appeared for the first time during the IEM 5 replacement cup consisting of a mix line up ( Yiikon - zboub - nota - moderation - sofianh)
They managed to reach the final but lost against myRevenge.de after 3 maps.
Even if they didn't attempt the European qualification stage of the IEM5, the orga made a good first entry.
Lately at the end of the group stage, esahara brought the Geno's line up FACE2FACE for the relegation stage against RAGE.
