eSahara become AbsoluteLegends
By: Nix0n
Time: 2012-03-22 22:44
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

Electronic Sahara have announced a merge with AbsoluteLegends. Along with the merger follows the Counter-Strike division, but also the retirement of one of France's biggest talents, Mickaël "mSx" Cassisi. 

AbsoluteLegends, a Belgian-based organization, previously focused on League of Legends, have completed a merger with Electronic Sahara. The merger transfers all teams previously bound to eSahara to AbsoluteLegends.

However, the transfer of AbsoluteLegends also sees the French star player Mickaël "mSx" Cassisi announce his retirement as he will be putting more focus on his job.

Cassisi was a member of the 2007 emuLate team that secured gold at World Cyber Games in Seattle. Electronic Sahara welcomed Cassisi in November last year, just weeks before MSI BEAT IT at DreamHack Winter, which was his last performance with the team, seeing as how he did not attend the recent IEM6 World Championship.


mSx retires to focus on work

Stepping in to fill the void created by Cassisi's departure is Steeve "Ozstrik3R" Flavin, who in recent time has acted as the team's coach. Rumors do, however, say he is only a temporary solution until a new fifth player has been found.

AbsoluteLegends consist of the following:

Michael "HaRtS" Zanatta
Engin "MAJ3R" Kupeli
Christophe "SIXER" Xia
Benjamin "drizzer" Charnet
Steeve "Ozstrik3r" Flavin

The team did not reveal anything about their future plans in terms of attending tournaments.

HAHAHAHAAHA
2012-03-22 23:26:13
you just started playing cs yesterday?
2012-03-23 00:02:21
they are legends? =S is a joke or what
2012-03-23 01:34:13
oups, only harts.
2012-03-23 01:50:02
sixer by now can be called a legend too! :p
2012-03-23 08:09:42
HaRts played for *aAa* or GoodGame in 2003-2004 and played 3 years for emuLate! and won WCG in 2007, he plays in high level since 2002.

All the others are younger and are known since 2008, except Ozstrik3r who's known since 2005. They're still quite old and legends in France.

2012-03-22 22:47:05
Diodel stopped CS
2012-03-22 22:59:15
looking forward to figure out a new replacement for OZ... I guess even RARA is better than him
2012-03-22 22:47:26
Ozstrik3r > rara
2012-03-22 23:23:39
Ozstrik3r, HaRtS and RARA in one squad... damn i dreaming about that show.
2012-03-23 08:10:02
their new name looks like it was created by 12yo kids

and mSx > oztrik3r, so I didn't like any of the changes
2012-03-22 22:47:29
rofl, mSx is awp'er. oz is IGL. how can you compare them?
2012-03-22 23:24:00
sixer is awp in eshara if im not mistaken.
2012-03-23 04:03:11
mSx is not a sniper at all...

mSx best french player ever,
2012-03-22 23:01:04
not really, he sucks atm, and SIXER is way, way BETTER, he is easier the best French player ever...

Post edited 2012-03-22 23:09:38
2012-03-22 23:08:52
yeah he sucks now, but 3 or 4 years ago he was better than sixer now imo,
2012-03-22 23:11:22
who the fuck is SIXER? and who is mSx

next to mSx, SIXER is just schoolboy...
2012-03-22 23:12:59
SIXER is only the guy who dominated the French scene for a few years now
2012-03-22 23:15:34
mSx won WCG, sixer won something?
2012-03-23 03:20:15
so ? I dont get your point, bruno1 won eswc 2006 and FalleN won nothing, but who is better ? bye
2012-03-23 23:03:34
french scene? who the fuck care about french scene...
2012-03-23 08:36:32
Isn't mSx French? Then if you don't care why the fuck would you bother posting in this thread?
2012-03-24 16:08:23
... right now nobody cares about french scene...
2012-03-28 09:49:12
you care enough to comment on mSx's level. And here we're not talking about the French scene you dumbass but about AL only, which is still a pretty good team internationaly
2012-03-28 16:28:20
nobody cares about your mom and yet she's in everyone's mouth..
2012-03-29 20:50:04
majer imo is best french player right now and sixer is a close second/tie breaker depending on who's slumping a little bit.
2012-03-23 04:05:13
maj3r is good with rifle and ok with pistols and awp while sixer is beast with all weapons

2012-03-23 11:35:21
SIXER's always been a tad better than MAJ3R, especially cuz he's more consistent, but lately MAJ3R has been quite average
2012-03-24 16:09:41
kabal ?? !!
2012-03-24 21:13:45

What do you mean ? Organisation @ Ozstrik3r lineup ?
2012-03-22 23:58:19
he's wondering if the move from eSahara to AL is fake also
2012-03-23 00:03:30
I really don't know anything about it, but I guess this is real since eSAHARA.net website is redirected to AL one ! But about the 1.6 lineup it's clearly wrong.

2012-03-23 01:03:28
with Diodel and mSx out of CS, they should get at least Geno or Yoshi and 'renew' the old Millenium squad

I disagree, I prefer Harts lead against strong teams. I would pick Yoshi, they need a regular player imo. Or at least Geno but as rifle instead of IGL.
2012-03-23 12:17:29
yes maybe just as riffle but at wcg he prouved once again ahe is still one of the best french player and he is igl...
burning/face2face team was stronger and with better teamplay than esahara to me so dunno if it s harts and drizzer the problem..
to me geno maj3r sixer cosmo and diodel on paper was the best team possible to compete with top 5
