Best of luck to Team Infused.CSS!
Following on from the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7, today we are announcing that we will be releasing our Call of Duty 4 roster from all obligations to Team Infused, with immediate effect.
Our Call of Duty 4 team joined us in October of 2009 and have experienced minor changes over the course of their stay under the Team Infused banner, however today, Wednesday 10th March 2010, we must release them to enable infused to pursue a roster within the Call of Duty 4 European Top 10, where we believe we should rightfully reside.
This decision was by no means an easy one, unfortunately we have to say goodbye to old friends. However when one door closes, another door swings open.
Team Infused.COD4 was as followed:
Robbie "RobzJE" Heaton- Chris "chenson" Henson
-
Darren "wannabe" Borrow - Lee "PuKka" Martin
-
Patrick "puNi" Stemmler
We wish all the players the best of luck in what they decide to do next.
With a matter of days until the ESL Competition Premiership Series 5 begins, tournament organisers saw it fit to announce all groups to the public, ahead of what is set to be one of the most intense seasons yet!
The ESL CPS5 features four leagues, the Premier League, the Second League, the Third League and finally (You guessed it..) the Fourth League. Each league features two groups, A & B, containing ten teams, however this is an exception in the premier league which contains just ten elite teams. At the end of the season, the top two from each group will qualify from their selected group and progress to the play-off stage. This will however be the last time this system is used, as next season the bottom five from each of the two groups will be relegated to create the third league, making this tournament that extra bit more intense.
Back to now, and our Trackmania Nations roster find themselves pitted in the Second League, Group B, alongside fellow British organisation Power Gaming, as well as European top teams such as Oslo Lions BadBoyz and Druidz, commonly recognised as one of the hardest groups in the entire tournament, ahead of the Premier League. The full Second League is as followed:
| Group A | Group B |
 Team Dignitas |
Team Infused |
| FuKa |
Power Gaming |
 Fanatics.Warriors |
 Oslo Lions BadBoyz |
 eXtensive! |
 Druidz |
 Infinity-Delta |
CrystaL eSports |
| mgk |
Paf Gaming |
| Oxygen |
SWRT Gaming |
 SJ Gaming |
 Team-Invictus |
 Seven Eleven Team |
 wX.Group by Crew.sk |
 Underground Motorsport |
Miracle Group |
Our team are scheduled to begin the tournament with a bang, taking on the UK power-house (excuse the pun), Power Gaming this upcoming Sunday. We will keep you updated!
Late last week, TCM-Gaming Console Manager Mike "Emotion" Kent (also head of Decerto, community coverage website) took time out to sit down with two of our longest serving members, "The Sowersby Brothers", specifically Luke "LukeJS" Sowersby and Ashley "Sowerz" Sowersby, co-leaders of our Modern Warfare 2 roster on the Xbox 360.
The interview talks about all things Modern Warfare 2, the recent flurry changes the team has undergone, the brothers glorious victory at the EGL last November, what the future holds for the team, as well as the pairs preference: jelly or ice-cream?!
