Couple of weeks ago the organisation Pandemic announced that after the end of the season of ESEA Season 5 finals they will "close their doors". Today it became clear that the ex-team of Pandemic have found a new home, Damage Inc. The team will be joined by Dan 'mehleR' Mehle, who played for teams like x3o and Gravitas, and Garett 'grt' Bambrough who is ex-member of Evil Geniuses and Blight. Dustin 'dizzaman' Dilyerd decided to leave the team. For the moment isnt clear who will be the titular team but we will find this out soon. Let us wish them good luck!

Yesterday ESL released a record breaking statistics from the Intel Extreme Masters 4 World Championship.
Just after the World Championship at CeBIT ended the ESL crew released the most amazing statistics ever seen within the e-Sport history. As most of us know the ESL has it's own streaming called the ESL-TV, yesterday they reported an outstanding 900 000 views, of which China has 16%, Germany with 15%, Russia and Sweden with 7-8%. CeBIT also featured 220 000 spectators who were at the event. This just shows us on how big the e-Sport scene is getting day by day.

Due to several requests from both normal players and gather admins, we have been thinking of a new #CS.Gather.RO Ladder for a while now. Today, it is my pleasure to announce that in the following month, #CS.Gather.RO will host one of the biggest Gather-Network Ladders, with alot of gaming products and premium memberships to giveaway. Bellow you can find the prize distribution for the March Tournament:
Normal Players Ladder (Based on skillpoints):
First Place - SteelSeries Kinzu Mouse sponsored by www.steelseries.com + 12 months of Premium Membership Second Place - SteelSeries QCK Mousepad + 6 months of Premium Membership Third Place - SteelSeries Glide (MS/MX/G) + 3 months of Premium Membership
Gather admins Ladder (Based on most managed gathers):
First Place - SteelSeries QCK Mousepad + 6 months of Premium Membership Second Place - SteelSeries Glide (MS/MX/G) + 3 months of Premium Membership Third Place - 1 month of Premium Membership
The participation rules are quite simple, every player will have to use the GN Anticheat plus ineye demo (record every single match). At the end of the month, the demos will be analyzed and players will be scanned for multiple accounts, so we'll keep this tournament free of cheaters and abusers. The Admin Ladder prizes will be given to the most active gather admin of our channel, as you all might know. Due to some fraud attempts in the past, there will be some checks over here aswell.
*UPDATE*The tournament is now LIVE and will take place from the 1st to the 31th of March, 2010. Good luck everyone!
