News tonight over the state of redCode. As i’m sure most of you will have noticed the recent restructuring that has gone under way by team leader Longas, which has seen the removal of cuspide, no0ne and Hiper from the roster. This saw the recruitment of Taimou, randa, mineral and ViQun. Then lork was lost to the mysterious world that is real life. This caused issues to arise when Janwas reportedly unhappy with the play style of the team and would prefer to play with lork again. With this Longas and Jan parted ways with the latest redCode team.
Now this is where the drama really begins…
After parting ways glongas and jan were offered a spot in the brain child of community poster boy Admirable forming a team from the players from Epsilon and Yoyotech. This lead to a clash between glongas and Taimou over where the ESL premier spot belongs. The full chat log below explains both players stance pretty clearly:
redCode.Taimou: 19:55 – longás (1): today jan and me have got an offer
longás (1): from a new team

longás (1): anyway if we finally make that team
redCode.Taimou: if you’re happy with it go for it, just understand what you said to us
redCode.Taimou: “jan wont play without lork”
redCode.Taimou: and you wont play without jan
redCode.Taimou: still you’re joining a team without lork
redCode.Taimou: perfectly makes sense
longás (1): “jan wont play without lork in this team”
longás (1): read the log again
longás (1): you know jan doesnt like the gamestyle of the team
longás (1): and you know we played better without jan using that style
longás (1): anyway as i’ve said

longás (1): if that team works yes
longás (1): we had that org because of me
longás (1): we had the spot in prem because of me
longás (1): well, me and the other mr guys
redCode.Taimou: wow, after all you’re such a cunt, and a massive coward
redCode.Taimou: thought you’re a nice person
longás (1): so what do you want
longás (1): my work for free
redCode.Taimou: I saved you from relegation, do you think even when i’ve been here for a bit over 3 months
redCode.Taimou: I dont have my part on it?
redCode.Taimou: everything is just about youyouyouyou
redCode.Taimou: youyouyou
redCode.Taimou: you selfish shit
Statements from both parties:
glongas
This drama story starts when lork has to leave the game for personal reasons, jan and lork are really good friends and he didn’t want to keep playing in the team without him. 1 day later Admirable contacted jan and i, he was making a new team with players from premier teams that folded in the last few weeks. I want to take the spot in Premier (ESL). That spotcomes from Mister, a team in where I was playing and working for more than 1 year, and now people who were in the team for less than 3 months want it.
Taimou
tl;dr longas thinks its all because of him we got an org and prem spot even when everyone in the team had their own part of it and did there job etc and he’s a spineless retarded fuckup disgrace to humankind, all i have to say.
As you can see both sides feel entitled to the ESL spot and both sides have decent cases. The ESL admins are reportedly discussing it now with ideas of a play-off game between the two teams and expanding Premier to ten teams being thrown around as possible solutions. It will be interesting to see how this problem is resolved and also which side the MGO takes. Stay tuned for updates when they come…
