YoungBlood — It wasn’t long ago that the “other” Finnish top team lead by M0re parted ways with their sponsor Anexis and became SG-A (short for Stargate Atlantis, just in case one of our readers isn’t a geek) which meant the hunt for a new MGO had started. Today the search is over as the German multi-gaming team CKRAS announces that they have taken the Finns under their wings.

Complexity Gaming, the prominent MGO of North America, has decided to stop supporting Team Fortress 2. Effective immediately, coL has released their TF2 roster. In it’s glory days, coL.TF2 went on undefeated rampage and was arguably the best TF2 in NA and one of the best in the world. coL actively supported it’s TF2 division and was one of the main teams which attended the ESEA LAN every season. Tragic event indeed and a huge blow to the North American TF2 scene.

Today we have decided that the time has come to release our Team Fortress 2 division.

Over the past couple years we have greatly enjoyed working with our TF2 gamers and participating in the community. We’d like to thank everyone who played for us during this period, with a special shoutout to Carnage who has been leader of the squad for some time. He will be remaining in the organization and assisting us with different projects.

Complexity.TF2 was -

• Daniel “Carnage” Sturdivant
• Carl “enigma” Yangsheng
• Kyle “relic” Mims
• Randy “blackymonster” Besserman
• Richard “sweater” Klekar
• Mike “Platinum” Miles
• Dustin “smaka” W
• Mithun “animeman” Balachadran

Here’s hoping an MGO steps to the plate and takes coL’s place. Best of luck to all involved!

And…

I had a fun time playing with everyone, I met a lot of cool people. Good luck to all players/teams in the future. I am done with “competitive” tf2.. im sure i’ll play a few pugs from time to time but don’t have the time to obligate myself to the game anymore – carnage

Update: According to oPlaiD

The team isn’t dead, they’re getting rid of Carnage and Relic and Smaka is leaving but the rest are sticking together and putting together a new lineup

Crack Clan has recently announced its partnership with Paroxysm. After leaving MTF-Gaming, Paroxysm are taking the place as Crack Clans main TF2 squad. Recently missing out on a premiership spot against Gamerzone, they are guaranteed a division one spot for next season.

Demsii (Demourge) comments on the news article:

We’re very happy with the opportunity that has been given to us. Personally I already have had a good impression from cc// due to some of it’s former members and we’re happy to associate even further with them… After an unfortunate playoff against Gamerzone for a Premiership spot in ETF2L, we’ll most likely be playing Division 1 again. We have sent a strong message to premiership teams that we can compete with the top level we will be looking to gain automatic promotion to Premiership at the end of the upcoming season by coming top of the tables.

Crack Clan Paroxysm is:

• Demsii (Soldier)
• Jorman (Soldier)
• Prozak (Scout)
• Drosophile (Scout)
• Spary (Demoman)
• Misa (Medic)
• -
• Darkman (Backup Soldier)
• Hykleri (Backup Scout)
• Psunfragga! (Backup Medic)

Over in koala-land, Team Immunity, a long time player in the Australian MGO scene, have decided to make their grand entry into Team Fortress 2. And what an entry it is as they have picked up, what is, at present – Australia’s strongest TF2 team – Clan A. The -A- folks have made short work of other teams in recent times, whilst grabbing the OZFortress Division 1 title. So without a doubt, IM have snatched up a juggernaut team. More details below;

Australia’s premier multi-gaming team, Team Immunity are proud to announce their entrance into the competitive Team Fortress 2 community. Team Fortress 2 is a rapidly developing and growing game within the e-sports industry. Building on the success of Team Fortress Classic, valve is working actively to tune TF2 into becoming a viable competitive game. With ever growing competitions the scene is set for TF2 to become one of the largest in Australia.

Team Immunity TF2 2011 Roster -
James ‘yuki’ Stanton
Richard ‘bowt’ Sansom
Oliver ‘sheep’ Bray
Michael ‘bonobo’ Horton
Jeffery ‘cruger’ Ting
Bradley ‘aporia’ Philpott
Terry ‘subtitled’ Flint
Victor ‘Vic’ Ta

With a fine mix of both raw death-matching skills in the way of sheep (Intensity), Yuki (Intensity), Vic (Dogz, Rewound) and cerebral players like bowt (Dogz, YSW) and aporia, the future looks bright for Team Immunity. Congratulations and good luck!

PS: Random pic is random, kkk.

Blame have been around for a while, establishing themselves as a solid division 2 team. Today vital-Gaming announced that Blame have joined their ranks. Maybe this new backing can give them the motivation to break into the top of division 2 and onwards. Only time will tell.
