ex-DarkPassage confirm disbandment

ex-DarkPassage's players have decided to go their separate ways, Tugay "TuGuX" Keskin has confirmed to HLTV.org.

The Turkish team had been on the lookout for a new organisation to represent since parting ways with DarkPassage, under whom they had finished 5th-8th at WESG 2016.

During their quest to find a new home, the team were dealt another heavy blow as star player Buğra "⁠Calyx⁠" Arkın opted to further his career with Space Soldiers.

woxic & co. are now free agents

Without any kind of support for the past three months, motivation hit a new low within the squad, and the players have now been forced to pull the plug on the team and seek other opportunities.

"We looked for a new organisation for over two months but without success," Tugay "⁠TuGuX⁠" Keskin told HLTV.org.

"During that time, we also struggled to find a new fifth player as no one seemed to fit.

"Without any support, we are not able to play any longer and we have to disband. Things would have been different with an organisation.

"We would like to thank all the fans who still supported us. Everyone is basically a free agent now. We can be contacted by email or Twitter: 

"SasuKe: [email protected]

"woxic: [email protected]

"TuGuX: http://www.twitter.com/TuGuXCS

"mini: [email protected]

"luntaxE: [email protected]"

The following players are now left without a team:

Turkey Ufuk "⁠SasuKe⁠" Göktaş
Turkey Özgür "⁠woxic⁠" Eker
Turkey Tugay "⁠TuGuX⁠" Keskin
Turkey Muhammed "⁠mini⁠" Salman

w0xic probably wouldn't join any other Turkish team and especially Space Soldiers. He has problems with many Turkish players. Xantares and w0xic don't get on well with each other because w0xic thinks Xantares is arrogant. It seems like he is angry at Calyx as well after he left DarkPassage because according to w0xic he ruined a great young team that had too much potential just for his own career. Also Despe and Xantares are great friends. This is also one of the reasons why Despe still plays with Space Soldiers. Considering how bad the rest of the Turkish teams are he would not join them either. He would probably look for a good European team to play with.

that is funny tho. he would give anything to join SS but he can not join cause there are some facts about him probably no one knows here. he participated at lan tournament which held in north Cyprus back then and he stole equipments from another player and xantares found out this and few others. they helped him by convincing the player that it was a missunderstanding cause they did not want him to get jailed by this bad behaviour ofcourse he thinks xantares is arrogant :))) there is no way that thief wannabe boy could join SS no way :)

I regularly watch his streams. He always seems to keep a distance between him and Xantares. He used to talk trash about him, It's good to see that he acts professionally and doesn't act like that in person.

Well, they picked a bad (inexperienced) 5th player, plus they couldn't find motivation to win. Prior to that they were doing progress. SS were doing good too but idk why SS wanted to take Calyx. They ruined DP with that move and in my opinion, SS still isn't a stable team as before.
