ESC Gaming quash AGAiN rumours

Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

ESC Gaming have issued a statement to put an end to rumours regarding the team's future in the German-based organisation.

A rumour quickly spread on the Internet on Monday said that the Polish giants had departed ESC Gaming and were now known as AGAiN - which has been the team's name every time that they have been without an organisation.

It was also suggested that the team had linked up with DELTA veteran Tomasz "ths" Sopel and that they were already practicing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, with Valve's reported $1,600,000 tournament in their sights.


Neo & co remain in ESC

However, the Polish team have now guaranteed that they have not parted company with ESC Gaming, and while no mention of CS:GO is made, they underline that preparations are underway for the TECHLABS 1.6 Cup in Kiev at the end of the month.

"According to several news, we have created a new team named AGAiN," an ESC statement read. "To make things clear - this is not right.

"For your information, we just played a cup on our mixteam account since we were not sure if everyone from our lineup would be able to play. Because of that we signed up under the unofficial account which is AGAiN's.

"We have not left ESC ICY BOX, and we are still playing with the same lineup. At the end of this month we are probably going to participate in one of our last CS 1.6 tournaments, which is TECHLABS cup taking place in Kiev."

Natus Vincere and Virtus.pro are also confirmed for the TECHLABS Cup, which will feature a $10,000 prize purse.

Thanks for news.

i think cadred is just looking for some publicity!

douches!
2012-09-11 13:33:37
Cos its a fucking true.

U mad cos they said that they will never play GO and they already started ? Will u call them traitors like u guys promised ?

Or is it the fact that cadred has many information about 1.6 scene even before any HLTV knows about it ? And they are not specialized for 1.6. For example WCG cadred have their letter even before HLTV can imagine that something like that will happen. And yet still u guys was bashing cadred that its not a true and they are liying cos they want to kill 1.6 - ye ur that much stupid.

Or is it the fact that u guys are saying bullshits like that top 1.6 players will never switch to the game which doesnt require skill ? U remember 1.6 SOO STRONK. 1.6 community is absolutly stupid, and now when their "gods" are giving a shit about u u start loosing ground uder ur feet.

Tell me please.

Yea, we don't have the made up news before Cadred, they must be the all knowing oracles.. Or maybe we just get our shit confirmed before we throw it out there..
2012-09-11 14:47:26
keep it up boiz
2012-09-11 14:49:51
Oh so that WCG thing for example did u confirmed it before u copied it after hour or so ? Cos i dont see how u could do that.

Btw its common thing that any site are just rewriting what was already writen somewhere else. I have absolutly nothing against it.

Fact is that gonzos qualities are just on leven which none of ur guys ever achieved.
SC2 is a good example. He was absolutly unknown guy in SC2 scene. 2-3months later he started doing things with SC2 and after 2-3 his coverages he is considered one of the best interviewrs in SC2. Everybody can get enought of his interviews.

But I understand that 1.6 scene will hate him and whole cadred cos he said some things about 1.6 (btw just like u guys about source) or that ur just jealous.

Haha, yea Gonzo is most likely the best journalist to have graced this wonderful earth, I cannot believe he hasn't won a pulitzer yet..

But maybe it is because his site posts made up news like this, who knows..

I agree with you on everything except the SC2 part. Nobody cares about gonzo's sc2 interviews. They have maximum 10 comments everytime so i wouldn't say that he's considered as the best sc2 interviewer since barely nobody watches his videos
2012-09-11 17:33:27
No offence but u probably have no idea.

Ye if u look at cadred comments u will not see many comments cos it was said milion times that cadred has rather silent community. They just dont have som many 15year old kids which need to say FUCK GO 1.6 TO STRONK 4EVA in every thread atleast 10times.

"get_right slams csgo rumours"

you get your made up news late i guess..

So you take that up with GeT_RiGhT, and as far as i remember there was no mention of Xizt in that post?

And funnily, when we posted that piece, suddenly it wasn't Cadred at ALL that had dug up that news, they were simply reporting it: "In a report on HLTV.org, who wrongly attribute Cadred as the source of the rumour" they write on their site in the response from GTR..

So, which one is it, was Cadred the source of this or not?
2012-09-11 15:53:04
except everything they said eventually came to be true
2012-09-11 16:41:55
eventualy but not all the time.

that is why they suck.
2012-09-11 17:19:45
it looks like you didn't understand what i said at all
2012-09-11 18:45:10
sry didn't see you were replying to skiddy

"RELATED: Source"

the source posted about the lineup almost 6 hours before cadred did, maybe they have invented time travel?

so instead of maybe bashing other peoples websites you should focus your time on more productive things like making your own website better?

delete my post if you want, but deep down you know you are in the wrong.

feel free to edit or delete your own comment.

Uhm maybe if Cadred had actually included the source in the first place, but they didn't, hence why ESC Gaming also called them out as the main source.

It is funny that now it is suddenly us that are being bullies and focusing on them, when all we did was post about Neo's statement, without mentioning Cadred even once.
2012-09-11 19:15:08
i don't see any reasons why you should explain something to someone from cadred. It seems like they know everything about all the games and all the teams.
2012-09-11 19:54:24
cadred has more information about 1.6? where in the world u got that idea from? cadred has long been known to report rumors. if those rumors report as true, well good for them but if they dont, then they dont even bother rectifying their mistake. its not the source community thats the problem, its "cadred"! they are the ones who lit the fire 1st. admit it, HLTV.org is a better site for news and like it or not, many people will agree with me.

no matter what u say, 1.6 will always be a better game for competition than source and GO so yea 1.6 will always remain STRONK, as u like 2 put it.

i dun care about GO competitively. i will watch it as some of my favorite players are playing. i may even play it at times for fun. but thats about it. for most of the 1.6 community, the "pre-tournament hype" has subsided and its gonna take a lot of time before that is gonna change!
2012-09-11 19:27:09
well the news about get_right was true, and hltv broke that down with an interview with get_right saying it wasnt true, look what happened there..

With the last sentence it seems pretty obvious they will either be changing to CSGO or quitting. Would be interesting to see how they fair in CSGO as most of the other professional 1.6 players have been split into teams with a mixture of source/1.6 players!
2012-09-11 13:35:03
One thing is for sure they wont split they rarely change lineups, but if one of them decides to retire someone has to fill in.
2012-09-11 13:36:12
They will play Csgo.

2012-09-11 13:43:49

2012-09-11 14:25:48
Cadred is pathetic as always;)
2012-09-11 14:30:35
Didn't they report the "quashed" GTR/f0rest swap and get it right?

2012-09-11 16:07:04
they've just won go4csgo #9
2012-09-11 17:00:13
Not sure why Cadred seems to be getting the blame, when they weren't the ones who started it....
2012-09-11 16:32:36
probably because they didn't mention source before this statement

They should probably have referred to where they got the story from, especially in a case like this.

Edit: ... from the start. I see they've added the source now.

rofl
will lol if same will happen as with "GTR breaks rumours"
2012-09-11 23:56:35
Funny how first Cadred posted the news as it was their own, than when the polish players stated what they just did, they put the source in the newspost. Pathetic.
2012-09-12 00:36:58
so sad!!!!
cs is really dieing...
2012-09-12 08:18:01
