Infused Gaming announced yesterday that three of their players have left the squad. Gandofini, Death and Jam0r have all left the lineup, leaving Infused with Ryy, Farley, w1p and zesty who is inactive. Farley gave this statement:
After LAN we didn't feel the team was working or improving, so we
decided to split. As death jam0r and gandofini had played together in
the past, they stuck together, and I guess will for a team. We are also
looking to form a new team now and look towards the cgs. GL to the
other guys with their team, cu at the cgs!
Farley was, as you would imagine, correct about Gandofini, Death and Jam0r all playing together before: they all played in Auxilia. This, coupled with Gandofini's "no comment" and the hive of activity in #auxilia all point to one thing. Furthermore, with the aid of beer and LAN, I've learned that we can expect a new Infused lineup shortly.
The TLR Source squad today announced that they were moving to the H2K organisation. Pez had this to say, as well as giving an interview to Cadred:
After our good LAN placement at i32 some organisations got into touch
with us, but chose h2k simply on their very respectiful CSS reputation,
which we hope to live up to. This team now with H2k's support will be
attending the most prestigious UK and European events. which is one of
the main reasons for this move Myself and the other members of H2k look
forward to the future what H2k holds in store for us. Their support and
our eager to do well are going to be a great partnership and I look
forward to what H2k holds in store for us.
The team also announced that they were replacing remy with Friza, formerly of short-lived Liberty.

We held this weeks show a day late due to LANPlague™ - as usual it was hosted by Dr Gonzo and ViniH and this week we had a guest host in the form of the legendary shoutcaster "Crossy". He did of course struggle to get a word in edge ways on a show with the two most talkative people in the scene (and possible the world).
The topics featured on the show were:
A capsule review of i-series Money & Gaming - who really profits?
Guests included:
Mark "AirRaid" Koks - Fnatic Tom "beta" Hanna - London Mint Mark Marcou - eMazing Gaming GM (also the founder of Verge gaming). James "pez" Perrott - ex-TLR now H2K Lee "fl4sh" Gardiner - RTL Servers

The Brazilian CGS franchise Rio Sinistro recently announced a change in their CSS roster. They have announced that Norberto “Lance” Lage, formerly of Made In Brazil, will replace Olavo “cky” Napoleão because cky is unable to get a visa for America.
The move comes less than a month away than the CGS World Finals, due to take place December 6-14th in Los Angeles. On the topic of this, Lance said "Rio Sinistro is talking to me since the Combine in Mexico... Since we realize that to schedule one appointment for Visa in São Paulo
was taking 2 to 3 months and Cky did not have the Visa, I start to
practice with Rio Sinistro. What I think is a problem is that the whole
team just started to practice Source after the Combine. Two months is
not much to know all differences between Source and 1.6 and we will
face very experienced Source squads in the finals.".
The CGS team for Rio Sinistro is: Raphael “cogu” Camargo, Renato “nak” Nakano, Bruno “bruno” Ono, Jorge “Jorginho” Elias, Norberto “Lance” Lage.

Reason Gaming today confirmed that Ritch has been dropped from the squad following "PC problems", his apparent inability to comment on a solution and his apparent inability to use a loan PC. He is therefore released from Reason Gaming. The organisation has therefore contracted Ritch's replacement, Henrik "FeTiSh" Christensen. Below is a statement from FeTiSh:
I am pleased to be announced as the final member on the Reason.css
roster, we had a good and succesful time at i32, and I am really
pleased with our performance. After our break with Roskilde.eSport, we
decided to play the rest of
our EC matches as "BATMANCREW", but sadly we where unable to stay together. I miss the lads, they are all great friends
and we had such a fun time at the bootcamp and at SLKS #13. I am now looking forward to working together with (detective!)
Ben Dalloway and Adam aka Badger. I'd like to thank Reason for giving me this opportunity and Ben for his hospitality
before and after i32, that was pure fun <3!
Good luck to Reason!

Ben0's just arrived here at i32, and will have some prizes to give away. So, we were sitting in the pub coming up with a way to give them away. After thinking about awards, Dr. Gonzo walks past and proclaims that there are pictures of him on the internet, stark bollock naked making angels in the cold grass. After brushing it aside (cracking the "lol no surprise" joke) we laughed so hard ViniH cried, my stomach started to crush itself and Ben0 needed to run to the toilet. Then we thought, why not have "A Most Embarrassing Photo Award". Infact, why not have three.
So, ZBoard in association with SourceJunky present the i32 Most Embarrassing Photo competition. All you have to do is take a photo here at i32, at any point during the whole LAN, and it has to be embarrassing. And it has to make us laugh. And we'll give the people in the three best photos one of the prizes. There's no limits here either!
The prizes are a standard ZBoard Keyboard, ZBoard Merc and a ZBoard Reaper mouse. And you have to live in the UK. Submit your entries to:
penguin (at) sourcejunky (dot) com
The deadline is next Friday, 16th of November.
