eFuture is no more, space retires

Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

Following WCG's decision to drop CS 1.6, eFuture has decided to close its doors with Xiaotian "space" Huang retiring while his teammates will continue under another name.

The Chinese team's most recent international tournament was ECL held in Beijing last October. They managed to win the grand final over Ultimax Gaming USA, but a flash bug in overtime turned the match around in UMX's favor.

They also attended IEM6 Global Challenge Guangzhou earlier that same month, managing to place fourth after beating Anexis in group stage, then losing against mousesports and WinFakt in playoffs. The team qualified for IEM6 WC, but were unable to attend due to financial issues.

eFuture was:

Xiaotian "space" Huang
Zhendong "Lovezhu" Mo
Xiaoyu "xpy" Zhao
Hao "biGun" Hou
Ning "Richie" Wan

Huang has decided to retire from competitive gaming in order to focus on real life. eFuture's goal was attending World Cyber Games to be held in China later this year, but as the event organizer moved over the mobile games, eFuture decided to let go of its CS team.

TBA:

Zhendong "Lovezhu" Mo
Xiaoyu "xpy" Zhao
Hao "biGun" Hou
Ning "Richie" Wan

The rest of the team will stick together and look for a new fifth which should be announced this coming weekend. Their next event will be ECL 2012 final on April 13-15 in Beijing, China.

china wasnt that great compared to teams from Europe anyway sad, retirements are always sad
2012-04-03 20:11:48
china was fucking great against most of the european teams given they couldnt practise 1 bit with them.. if you read interviews ull understand that the european teams are scared of the chinese because of their amazing aim and outta this world tactics!
2012-04-03 21:28:09
ofc they are afraid if their strats but not of their individual skill i think lolthey take care of savages awp and strats
2012-04-03 21:34:07
there was a tyloo before savage if u did not know.. even a wNv !!

savage used to be in the 2ndry team of china..
when the best consisted of alex, junglebobo, sakula, mikk and virgo i think... !

u must be new to cs :)
2012-04-03 21:42:47
pls lol china s*cks in cs compared to other games i dont know why u guys dont stop protecting them but ok opinions are opinions
2012-04-03 21:45:16
pls lol portugal sucks way more in cs.. and i dono why ur protecting that worthless team which hasnt won anything except some brainless fanboys who go foxj >>> markeloff !
2012-04-03 21:52:09
u can judge us cuz we have no oportunities :)) and when we have sometimes we prove that we are not "no arms" 16 14 anexis by defs and 16 14 by k1ck in gamegune vs mouz
2012-04-03 21:53:41
bitch please, China can't even practice against top teams and made top results in the past, more then once,get you're facts straight before talking shit kid.
2012-04-04 00:46:14
they can play with ppl in their country lol
2012-04-04 00:49:14
U trolling, right?
2012-04-04 01:05:15
why should i?
2012-04-04 03:54:14
if u took 1 second to read, this team also beat Anexis. the point was there was alot of talent in china, but most competitions are in Europe so they can't compete consistently.
2012-04-04 04:23:52
and i aint protecting anybody.. m just stating the facts...
2012-04-03 21:52:34
lol,I dont know if #1 is good enough in CS?I wonder if kick ever rankead that before,even now when tyloo is on, they can take any team down in the world, the sad thing is they cant travel like european teams because they are close to each others.
Even now there are not many people play cs in our country we still have quite a few talents ,i dont know how that u said we are not great when your country dont even have a clan rank top10 in the world lol.

your one has? stfu lol
2012-04-03 21:34:28
alex is still one of the most respected igls of the world...
Jungle and Sakula were one of the best awpers then..

tyloo did dominate the scene when they they chance to travel the world...
2012-04-03 21:40:27
most respected? where? when compared to starix, zeus (he was) carn(he was), robban, AGAiNs IGL, threat? pls lol
2012-04-03 21:42:29
do you know that before alex, nuke was a completely ct oriented map like terrorists in de_assault... he was one who discovered that squeaky door rush and the manipulation of vents... even the boost from outer to ladder top as terrorists via the roof !! !

why are you talkin abt cs from 2010-2012!?
i don remember starix, zues, threat earning big points before that !

and talkin abt robban.. the guy was an utter failure before forest and gtr joined... even after they did they guy had to struggle with delpan..

carn was good till 2009.. got destroyed by navi in 2010 that even his team mates said they cant stay with him anymore..
2012-04-03 21:49:41
pls lol u dont know what more the other IGLs discovered, mby most things but not so notable like strats and flashs
2012-04-03 21:52:26
i rest my case... if alex discovered something notable.. he shd deserve something.. right ?
2012-04-03 21:58:23
all I want to say just "thank you"

old wnv rape the crab out of zeus and the former Virus Pro team in wem,Im not saying they r bad back them but we were top1 at that time, i dont see kick in these spots in any top events rofl.
2012-04-04 09:49:27
You seem like an idiot to me. Just the truth, no offense.
2012-04-04 00:09:36
i dont care about your opinion... china has 0 teams in top10 world true story bro
2012-04-04 00:15:37
Could you post current CS 1.6 world rankings here? I must have missed them. Meanwhile, my earlier comment stays true.
2012-04-04 00:58:44
rofl let me see,in ur country ,do u have a clan rank top10 even in europ?
tyloo beat both navi and mousesports in the group in iem final,i never see that happend to kick or any of ur country teams in any event lol.
in gotfrag i can still see old wNv rank #1 before in world ranking, show me any team any time in ur country achieve that ranking before,then i will say no more.u can say whatever you like about cs in china,i can tell you none of that is true from ur mouth.
2012-04-04 09:59:40
china has no teams tin top10 ok? bye

You are pathetic ok? Bye

:sigh: This Kids.
2012-04-04 22:23:07
wNv ranked top1 before in the world, if u want to talk,be sure to show me that kick rank top3 in the world before u type anything here.

ps:im not saying kick is not a good clan,in fact they are decent team but not the top5 in the world.

right now tyloo rank 1 in my country but they cant compare to old wNv,that team is a legit team rape almost every team in the world back then in 2006-7.
if u think we dont have a great cs then u should let kick play this tyloo,theyr not our best cs team,but i can tell,they will beat kick easily.
2012-04-04 09:54:27
Chinese are great my freind the things they do in this game are insane their flashes < the World
2012-04-04 00:38:15

dont have vid, but if you're just curious what the bug is:

" eFuture threw illegal flashbangs (aka flashbugs) at the ivy / alley area where one of their members tossed the flashbang underneath the front triple boxes which is not possible in the fixed version of de_train. "

from http://www.winout.net/index.php?page=view_movie&am..
2012-04-03 20:51:22
well, in the last two months, i have been hearing many shitty news about cs, but i'm not yet convinced that cs is dying! what about you?

+1,
if there is no new game can replace the CS1.6 ,then CS will never die.

ps:from the beta that we got from CS:GO,CS1.6 is still the best FPS in the world.

CS is not dying to me.
2012-04-03 21:34:02
i approve, but i think there will be one or two years pause for hard cs competitions, and this will last until sponsors realise that there is not another good fps!
2012-04-03 21:50:55
Hoping just for 1 year 2 years could be too much for the community :/
2012-04-03 22:01:04
yeah, you're right!
