wCrea pick up ICSU

12-9-2010 19:48

wCrea have announced their new Counter-Strike team in the shape of Swedish side ICSU.

The French-based organisation had been without a CS division since watching the Danish line-up led by Timm "ArcadioN" Henriksen return to their former name, p00nhandlers, after little over a month in their ranks.

ICSU were on show at ASUS Summer in Kiev last month, crashing out of the tournament in the first group stage after placing behind k23 and Promotion despite holding the Kazakh side to a draw.

After the Ukrainian event, the team replaced Fabian "blomstar" Åkermark with Daniel "rape" Börzsönyi, and the former Online Kingdom man has now indicated he hopes this partnership will help his side scale great heights.

"When I read the news about the Dannish team p00nhandlers leaving them, on the same day I contacted them and wanted to make sure they wouldn't bring in a new team besides us, we came along together and we wish to have a great time together," Börzsönyi told HLTV.org.

Börzsönyi was recently linked with a move to Åkermark's new project, but he has made it clear that he has no intention of going anywhere.

"It was just small talk, he wanted me but I really like playing with my team, we get along as individuals and in the game, we have a strong chemistry together and we will develop quite fast. But i hope blomstar finds good players for his project," he added.

The Swedish team will have their official debut for wCrea at DSRack Lan #3 in Copenhagen from 18-24 October, after which they plan on attending DreamHack Winter and ASUS Winter.

wCrea now have the following Swedish team:

Joel "emilio" Mako
Mikail "eksem" Bill
Danniél "dalito" Morales
Mahyar "Noodles" Samadi
Daniel "rape" Börzsönyi

Good luck!

"We will not comment on specific situations, but let’s just say, that we were very unhappy about the commitment and willingness to help the team as much as possible." – Team coach Marc "MarcK" Kjærgaard told HLTV.org.

2010-09-12 21:36

They didn't have any sponsors to pay for their coach's travel expenses, because the danish WCG organiser decided to promote the danish esport scene instead of their team's sponsors.

2010-09-12 22:28

first french team, then danish, now swedish many changes in little time...

2010-09-12 19:50

2010-09-13 03:43

lol stfu

From a world class lineup to a semi elite team like this?

OMG! :S wCrea have $$$ why recrute secondary teams...

2010-09-12 19:52

actually i think they got nothing, at least i read a comment from Arcadion on the danish site xplayn.com that they hadn't asked for anything, and then when they one day asked for money to go to Dsrack lan they couldn't give them any.

2010-09-12 20:19

hahahha

2010-09-12 20:53

how's that funny? :S

2010-09-12 20:59

wCrea couldn't pay even the DSRack LAN tickets and now they took ICSU.

2010-09-12 21:08

wcrea don't have $$$ that's why

this is sad...going from that super danish team to this... I may well start an organisation and take in blomstar's team LOL

and take blomstar* you mean he seems quite alone now ^^

2010-09-12 20:13

well I can make some use of the publicity due to his statements about snatching f0rest from fnatic since his offer is too good to refuse :P But seriously I feel bad for him...I wish he never told all that to HLTV :/

2010-09-12 20:44

lol yeh that's a bit embarassing I can't understand why he made that public

2010-09-12 20:57

probably stoned at the time :x

2010-09-13 00:50

wcrea sux

2010-09-12 19:53

Danish line-up(ArcadioN & co) is better than ICSU. I think that is rash decision.

2010-09-12 19:54

2010-09-12 20:14

what's the reason that wCrea kicked the danish team ? cuz i don't get this. strange organisation.

couse they want much more then wCrea can offer them

2010-09-12 20:17

Because they didnt meet an agreement for WCGm, as their DK teams is attending as Team Denmark, and they didnt want.

ty both

2010-09-13 11:15

2010-09-12 20:15

2010-09-12 20:38

I am glad to trust.. But....

2010-09-12 20:41

what the fuck?

if it's about publicity, sponsorship, money, imho wCrea would benefit more having top danish team and forgetting about WCG than getting this ICSU which will never proceed to a next stage in any tournament

2010-09-12 20:33

HEAHEAHEA, kick p00nhandlers, and add theese nubs... HEAHEHAEHA

2010-09-12 20:40

2010-09-12 21:33

so ....arcadion & co will go to wcg that much i understand ...but who pays for their slot? or is it paid already? with or without an organization the still go right?/ btw i think arcadion & co ...should name their team "arcadion & co" that would be hilarious since everyone is calling them that :))

What slot? They won the danish WCG qualifier, so the host are the one gonna take them to L.A. Though its still not revealed who's the one paid for mTw.

2010-09-13 00:03

2010-09-13 11:17

the organisation is payin' their 'trip'

2010-09-13 12:09

Where did you hear that? Well no surprise though, seeing mTw is quite a big org.

2010-09-13 16:13

that's the policy, they pay for their teams if they want to join WCG, as H2K did with it's team last year, if I remember correctly

2010-09-13 16:56

Yea, thats the usual way. But I heard some rumour that another orga is paying for them. Well whether thats true or not, it doesnt matter cause its a good thing that we will see more action at WCG. :)

2010-09-14 21:16

true, true

2010-09-14 21:53

2010-09-12 23:08

Well, same thought here. Seriously, changing 3 teams over a short period, thats just showing how "serious" they are.

2010-09-13 00:06
