" After a long time out of the game for various reasons, me and Aaron decided to mount a comeback to CoD4 after being sick of seeing players like Mark Horner and Tom Newman achieving success. We have been semi-active for the past few months, trying out various options. In the end, it came back to starting a team from fresh. While Aaron was in magaluf a few weeks back, I was just mixing about and came across Ramon and instantly we clicked and I knew, I wanted him to be a part of our team. When Aaron got back, we had a nice core 3 players and we set on the case of finding 2 more players to complete our lineup. First up, Jamie had contacted me and Aaron about the possibility of joining up with playzone, but we refused to leave Ramon behind and after some more conversations, Jamie decided it would be in his best interests to team up with us instead. Finally after quite a bit of interest for the final spot in the team, I got in contact with Burak - who I briefly played with in WUTANG, a little while back, and he just slotted in perfectly, to complete the lineup. With this lineup I believe we have the right mix of youth and experience to push us forward and reach the top once again, we will be competing in any upcoming online tournaments and with enough notice, we will be attending any upcoming LAN events also, with the Vita Nova Lan being our most likely first event we will attend as a team. We will be on the lookout for any potential sponsors/backing, so any team/organisation who may be interested can find me on msn - joshaibo[at]hotmail.com or xfire - sexytricks."

"Today I'm happy to announce my new CoD4 team. Until recently I have been playing with Playzone but when our great friend Wambo left, it was completely different in the team. We found it hard to play with each other, thinking because of personality clashes (which Wambo controlled well) and it ended up not being fun to play in the team. When Josh said to me, that he and Aaron are looking to make a comeback and I was offered a spot in the team with Ramon, I jumped at it. I want to reach the top, I do nothing to come 2nd and with Josh, Aaron and now Burak's experience, I can start to progress like I want too. Big shout out to the Playzone lads, looks like they have sorted themselves now and wish them well! Really nice guys!"

TEK-9 top 10 augustus:

After both nReal and kONING parted ways with the team we decided we wouldn't give up and we went on the lookout to find suitable replacements. Shortly after playing with Anton for a few days after AEF, we asked him to join our lineup. After a period of switching classes and trialling multiple people, we stumbled upon Viazu, who turned out to be a great candidate to complete our new roster. I'm convinced that with this roster we can build a bright future for the team, and we aim for a good finish in the forthcoming LAN events and the Benelux EPS

Since CiC7 I've been floating around not knowing what to do, I did join one team but it became apparent that inactivity was going to hold us back. I set to search for a new team and I stumbled across the oSk guys. After a few days of playing with them, we really clicked and the team just boomed a nice friendly atmosphere and an ambition to do well. I'm really happy they asked me to complete their line up and I'm looking forward to attending future LANs with them, cya there.

Sumera contacted me just after me and viazu's attempt at a new team folded (-3), they where down two players and were desperatly looking to get back on the scene and start playing again and so was i so i could not resist :D. After playing a few games in academy and a few games against preinvite teams i realised i would fit in perfect with Sum, Niek and Sentix. I think we as a team can go far and hope to do so at the next big lans that hopefully will be announced soon!

Na AEF besloten we om als team (iuro) bij elkaar te blijven omdat we stabiliteit wouden bewaren. Vervolgens vervoegden we ons bij eMpathy, een respectabele organisatie wiens aanbod we niet konden weigeren. Rzn verliet ons als speler na verscheidene conflicten zowel online als offline en daardoor besloot verZz ook om het team te verlaten wegens persoonlijke redenen zoals schoolverplichtingen. In onze zoektocht naar 2 nieuwe spelers contacteerden we VATO en Delroo, twee zeer goede belgische spelers. Toen we samen speelden leek alles geweldig te gaan, zowel de sfeer als de presaties waren uitstekend. Onze eerste offline event wordt FOM die plaatsvindt op 24 september. Cu there boyz

I have really enjoyed working with Louis, Ryan and Tim in the past, and I was really excited to see they have formed a strong and motivated team that I know can do great things. After speaking about things for a day or 2 we decided that it would be a perfect match to bring the team to Validus and to take it from there, I am really looking forward to managing them and I hope they will do us proud in up and coming events. Good luck guys!

We would like to thank the management of Validus for giving us this opportunity to succeed. We are a relatively new team and having the support and trust from the organisation is helping us push forward. We are looking for a very prosperous run with Validus and we're expecting nothing but opportunity within the organisation.

"Hey again, The team was formed a few weeks ago when I was invited to start playing again seriously, things were going quite well, we started the team kinda semi serious, didnt really mind if we won or lost really. But as we all do, especially me, we always get the itch to start being a bit more seriously, kajsking decided he wanted to come back to call of duty after having alot of success in counter strike. We have been playing the ESH cup this week, which we have made the quarter finals after beating rage.ru and x9. At the moment we're just practising for this next upcoming game vs reason. At the moment I don't think we are looking for a organisation but it's always nice to be asked, if anyone would like a good upcoming UK team, then drop us a message. You will have to try and impress robbie heaton though. I think we're looking to attend vita nova lan and are serious about maybe attending tex if the dates are announced soon :) Cheers

"It came to me as a total suprise when Norman contacted me a week ago. Of course I was up for it, and here we are now. I want to thank my old teammates (especially rEplan, sLWx, nipazki, filter, ztk), hxns-crew, rzn, and last but definetly not least, infused, and all their great sponsors for this awsome opportunity. Hope to see you all in future events."

After our below par performance at AEF questions were asked within the team and conflicts arose which caused us to look for a new fifth. This resulted in a change of structure within the team, thus changed the type of player we were looking for. I am happy to say we have found that player in Saruz. From the start Sasu fitted in with the team in and out of the game game and has added a new dynamic which from early signs is looking very promising. Our main goal for now is tex and we look forward seeing everyone at LAN once again.

After AEF, chenson left, we decided we wanted a Benelux lineup. After trialling people for a couple of weeks, we found perfect replacements in Sil and Mean. Sil has played together with Paz and Senzaj before, in DOK, so thats a bonus. The very first day we played together it clicked really well and we already played good-ish. Wannabe will be placed to backup, untill he finds a new home. He deserves a good team because he's a good player and a nice guy.

"After having some good fun in NCC I decided it was time for something different again. Although different may be the wrong word here since it were the guys from RAGE that contacted me again and asked if I wanted to return to the line-up. As I knew all the guys for a long time it seemed the right thing to do for me. Last but not least I want to thank all the people behind NCC for the fun times."

"After AEF our first thoughts were to continue playing with the same lineup. However in the last couple of days some problems appeared, and Jeroen decided to leave the team. Things like this are never easy but I think on the long term this might be better for the team, even though Jeroen played sick at both Gamersject and AEF. Only one man could replace Jeroen and that is ofcourse Danny. Danny was in our team for nine months before and back then decided to take a break but will return now. Our first offline events will be FOM and the Dutch Vita Nova lan. I want to thank Jeroen for a great summer and welcome back Danny."

After AEF we made two difficult decisions. One to leave iQPAD and two to remove Stu from the line-up. We decided to remove Stu mainly due to the atmosphere in the team. We had some problems leading up to AEF and to me the atmosphere is the most important thing in a team and if there is a lot of arguing, the team will under perform and people won’t enjoy themselves. We have left iQPAD as we want a more active organisation going forward, and at times we felt alone without anyone to speak to regarding any matters. Onto the new line-up – remedy was our backup before AEF as he could not attend due to family reasons and he has now moved up into the main 5. Secondly, we have decided to pick up the talented Belgium player MaThY formally of NCC. He is one of if not the best upcoming SMG player around as well as a close friend of all of ours so the decision was easy. We are now on the lookout for an organisation to support us moving forward for the long term, so any org reading this please don’t hesitate to contact me at myles_cahill[at]hotmail.co.uk

Vermits Counter-Strike Source grote problemen heeft in zijn huidige LAN-versie hebben we besloten op LanScape XVI hiervoor enkel stevige hardware prijzen te voorzien. De hoofdprijs van Starcraft II wordt opgetrokken van 250 euro naar 400 euro. Daarnaast verwelkomen we terug Call-of-Duty 4 met een cashprijs voor de eerste plaats van 750 euro!

De cashprijs voor de eerste plaats bedraagt 600 euro voor alle teamcompetities. Dit geldt voor zowel Call of Duty 4, Counter-Strike 1.6 als Counter-Strike Source. Let echter wel op, er wordt pas een geldprijs toegekend vanaf er minstens 10 teams zijn ingeschreven voor de desbetreffende game. Als er geen tien betalende teams zijn voor een game dan krijgt deze compo hardware prijzen in de plaats. Deze cash-hardware-regel geldt trouwens ook voor games die niet in teamverband gewonnen worden. We vermoeden dat jullie daar wel akkoord mee kunnen gaan.

De definitieve prijzen zijn bekend gemaakt. Er zal geen CASH geld voorzien worden voor COD4 door de weinige inschrijvingen. Voor de andere compo's zien de prijzen er wel heel mooi uit. Wij wensen jullie een aangenaam weekend op LANSCAPE 16!
