Blight release US team

13-9-2009 13:37

Blight Gaming have confirmed they have decided to release their Counter-Strike squad hailing from the United States.

The American team had recently made headlines when they announced that Kevin "aZn" Wang and Fadil "Nepo" Canovic had been brought in for the local WCG qualifier.

However, Blight have now announced the dismissal of the entire division due to their lack of stability and the fact that one more of their regular players would not be able to attend the WCG qualifier.

"We will be releasing our USA team due to the fact they have been unable to maintain a starting five as well as due to their lack of practice," Blight owner James "blackfoger" Larsen told GotFrag.com. Additionally, Dustin "dizzaman" Dilyerd would have been unable to attend WCG USA due to school.

Blight Gaming plan to announce a new American Counter-Strike team, which should happen within the space of a month.

Blight had the following team:

Dustin "dizzaman" Dilyerd
Chris "truls" Navratil
Dan "mehLer" Mehler
David "Xp3" Garrido

Kevin "aZn" Wang (WCG stand-in)
Fadil "Nepo" Canovic (WCG stand-in)

Well , good luck ;)

thats what differentiates top to ramdom teams

2009-09-13 15:34

Because the teams don't do what they're supposed to. :) The organisations just give them a chance to prove they deserve the chance, most of them don't.

The reason you see these players constantly being juggled across from organization to organization is because of how networked the North American CS community is. Its all about who you know and nothing more when it comes to teams. That and teams/managers are too stuck up and ignorant to start tapping into unnoticed talent rather than the same old names everyone already knows.

2009-09-13 19:19

No, that is not the case. The reason top teams are always being juggled is because there are no new teams ever making their way to the top. Tell me who else they should pick up... don't give me that networking bullshit.

2009-09-13 22:33

There are players out there who deserve their shot that go unheard who could be just as good as any of the old names being flung back and forth like mud. :/ And this community is networked because of the closed minded mindset this community has. If someone aspires they are online. If someone isn't amazing they are garbage and get outcasted. There is no spectrum of inbetween. People are unmoved by local LANs so unless you win a major LAN they don't care. Theres a lot of things wrong with the way this community is setup and a lot of undiscovered talent is going unfufilled...
