Changes in TeG & earthquake

2-6-2012 17:07

The Romanian Counter-Strike scene has seen a major shuffle with TeG and Earthquake changing players to form two entirely new rosters.

The Elder Gods have seen three players depart the team to join Earthquake while two of their old players Taofik "TaofiK" Jawich and Marius "MARIUS" Ionita have resumed activity. Also, Catalin "rappy" Popa has joined the team from NBK.

The Elder Gods

Daniel "DaNy" Voinea
Daniel "k1d0r" Paka
Taofik "TaofiK" Jawich
Marius "MARIUS" Ionita
Catalin "rappy" Popa

As for Earthquake who have an entirely new roster, Sedan "SeDaN" Ibrahim and Liviu "DecE" Munteanu were inactive but have once again resumed playing. The other three members all departed TeG to join.

Earthquake:

Sedan "SeDaN" Ibrahim
Liviu "DecE" Munteanu
Catalin "beet0n" Stanescu
Cosmin "WHitE" Cetenas
Iulian "SNAPPLE" Constantin

Both teams will be competing in the upcoming season two of the Romanian eSports Championship. We have also seen both attending GameGune in the past which is a possibility.

2012-06-02 17:45

Oh yeas , we are noobs :) Brothers for our cs and for our possibilites [gear , money , places] are 3 great teams and when TeG lose 16-14 to fnatic were also a good performance for our cs ! i agree , we must do a team to make some i.nal damage , anyway make us noobs :) we don't care ! And..this only cuz in you're countries cs is an national sports ! OK eq is now very strong ;) but IGG still no1

2012-06-02 17:52

12 replies

national sport? u must be high Romania is one of the countries where cs is so much played, yet still they didn't make it to the international scene and not becouse they lack sponsors couse they still put the hours into this, but becouse of mentality ecc. You now there's a difference between practicing and playing.

:) cs in Romania isn't recognized as a sport :) , they want to do it but till now nothing , this i want to say before ! Yes, in Ro cs is a game that's very played ;) but we don't have sponsors , so talendted players give a fu** cuz there is no prize :) For example , this year prize in PGL for CS was 5.000 euros and the teams were +20% in confront of 2011 :)

becouse they are fucking playing this game for over 10 years and they still didn't achieved nothing internationally hard to believe you play this game for so long time and you can't think of getting better just becouse you don't have sponsors.

one big tournament per year its not enough for a team to evoluate they need more games with good teams. and its one more aspect, because they dont win money they lose interes for cs they dont practice like they should

2012-06-06 16:14

romania have some really good players, they should gather the 5 best players in the country and make a decent team and perhaps make some damage intentionally

2012-06-02 17:59

That won't happen unfortunately, only once it happened, and they gave hard times to the top teams, I remember 1 very very close match against that old mousesports, the team which rocked some years ago.

Ok, thanks. I knew something about that rule, but I thought it applies only if a team does not want to continue anymore and 3 players from that team form a new wan. Anyway, tnaks for the info.

DecE

2012-06-02 22:29

i would say that white is the first awper, i mean, he got a style witch depends on the awp, so it would be hard for him to change it in time for wcg same happened with karrigan in fnatic, he had been the first awper in mousesports and when he came to fnatic he said that he needs time to adapt..

2012-06-02 21:50

Eq has the best line`up atm, but only if they train hard they could do something good at the international events... IGG comes next and after that TeG.

2012-06-02 22:26

At the moment thats correct frate but anyway DeCe is one of the best from Romania i would Rate top5 ever

It make no sense if they have 3 old players, is a team removed from a Division must begin from beginning. Eq was disqualified, ask TANNJA

There is a rule i think(not so sure), that says: if a team is formed with at least 2 or 3 players that played in the last season (in our case - white, snapple and bee played in ReC1 for Teg), then they have a team-slot for the next season (ReC season 2). And Teg have a slot as a team (they finished 1st at the regular season).

2012-06-04 15:19

marius dany k1d0r are registered in a season 1 ReC with teg.k1dor is cl the TEG team===>>>TEG play in season 2 REC Division A BIG NOOB

2012-06-03 13:27

rappy is a very good player, no doubt about that:P it all depends on how hard marius and taofik will train. Lets not forget that marius was the best player in Ro not to long ago :P

true.. but it's more important how they'll form a team, it's not so important how their individual play will be, they need to be a team! shape comes with results and good chemistry~

2012-06-03 18:11

Good luck for both teams.I'm very happy cause Sedan "SeDaN" Ibrahim iz back!

2012-06-03 11:10

.. Maybe they will find out, that the new teams are not the best deal, and will not get far, both teams are limited until they form a best-lineup ever for bigger competition, out of PGL
