Almost two weeks ago, on September 17th, Crack Clan announced "the complete reconfiguration" of their professional gaming activities. Three days later Power Gaming announced the launch of their own professional Esport team. The old cc.TF2 team now moves to this new organization.
The new Power Gaming will be run by Ben Woodward and Luke Cotton, who both left Crack Clan to continue their work on this new project. They have already announced that two very successful teams from Crack Clan will be joining them on this "adventure". Crack Clan's Counter Strike 1.6 and Halo 3 squad were brought in, joined by a newly formed Counter Strike: Source team. With the addition of a TF2 squad the organization will now maintain four professional teams.
Juho "Moose" Pättö, team captain of the former cc.TF2:
I think we were very fortunate to have been picked up by Crack Clan last September. Crack Clan's support has been great and I want to thank the guys at cc for it. However, now that most of their management and all the other pro teams from cc have moved on to Power Gaming, we feel that it's the right choice for us to move on as well. Big part of the reason is that we want to be part of an esports brand that's as big as possible to be able to help TF2 to develop as a recognized esports game. Since Power Gaming has widely recognized 1.6, CSS and Halo 3 teams, it definitely looks like they'll be able to help us towards that goal. And of course we already know their management and have worked with them before, so this transition should be an easy one for us.
The official launch of Power Gaming will be at Multiplay's i38 this November. The Team Fortress 2 squad will also attend this event.
Power Gaming's new TF2 squad is:
Moose (c)
Bash

Glufse (backup)
