Am gestrigen Donnerstagabend gab der Clan Unique Esports bekannt, dass man sich das Counter-Strike-Team Ex-Gamers.nu verpflichtet hat. Dieses rein schwedische Aufgebot rund um den Captain Kristoffer ‚faken‘ Andersson, der in Vergangenheit unter anderem für Lehnitz, Gamers.nu und edepol spielte, wird von nun an für Unique Esports an den start gehen.
Auf der Clanpage schrieb man, dass das Team an der kommenden Qualifikation für die World Cyber Games 2010, beim ESWC National Qualifier in Schweden sowie auch bei der DreamHack Summer 2010 antreten wird. Ob man da gute Resultate erzielen wird, ist fraglich, die Konkurrenz in Schweden ist bekanntlich sehr groß.
Statement von Clan-Manager Jordan Goodman:
„Ive known these players for a while now, and I was approached by them recently to join Unique Esports. I am fully aware that I stated we were not interested in picking up any more teams let alone FPS teams. However this team was too good to pass up. With that said, 1 of our very own teams will be released to make room for our newly acquired 1.6 team. We believe this team will become a top contender with world class teams within the next year.“
Statement von Team-Captain Kristoffer ‚faken‘ Andersson:
„This team will be competing in the 2010/2011 Circuit, including DreamHack Summer 2010 WCG National Qualifier, ESWC National Qualifier, and National Online Leagues which have been scheduled and set by our team and the organization. This is something that has fell through in the past with Gamers.Nu and myLegend. We are glad to have joined Unique-Esports as we believe they are the next big sensation for the Counter-Strike Community.“
