One of the most respectable cod teams in the scene has decided to fold and call it the day.
All this due to lack of interest in cod 4 in general and dont having the time to attend the upcomming lans.
Its sad that a team that have been so strong and stayed together for as long as 4 years quit.
We hope to see the glory days of Tek-9 once again in COD 5.
Tek-9 latest lineup:
Davy "Davy" Sysmans
Alexander "KNALLER" Shulepov
Antonin "OZWALD" Grenier
Stevy "Stevy" Verheyen
Mark "mark" Horner
Statement Davy Sysmans:
"Sad to say but we've been put in a situation that only leads to us splitting up. Since we were inactive for most of the time since cod4 came out we never got to the point where we were in cod2. Also the fact that not everyone enjoys cod4 enough to come up with the right dedication is a big part of our somewhat lesser results.
We were still able to hang around the top5-6 in the world with all our problems but this isnt enough with the potential we have. Now that we wont be able to attend any lans with full preparation it has come to the point that we have to call it quits as a team. I myself wont be playing cod4 anymore unless I can get a really good offer that could give me the right motivation again.
Though actually I'm just hoping cod5 will be good for competition, if not I'll probably stay inactive and quit. I just wish the rest of the gang best of luck in whatever they'll be doing! Hopefully we can get together again for cod5, who knows. The last 2-3 years were amazing (top 3 in 10 lanevents in a row *cough*) for me thanks to people like Steven, Constantin, Sam, Antonin, Alex, Burak, Jyri, Daniel etc.. Some of them have become real good friends of mine. I've been in tek9 for almost 4 years now and I guess I'll never really leave the organisation! Steven knows where to find me when needed =)."
Statement Alexander Shulepov:
"Due to the combination of personal schedules we do not have sufficient time to prepare properly for the upcoming lans. Our priority was the lan in Rome, but unfortunately it probably wont be happening (atleast not a cod4 tourney). People want to attend lans of course and the only solution hereby is to let everyone go their own way.
Maybe we'll reunite in the future, maybe not. Time will tell. I wish my (former) teammates the best of luck in whatever they decide to do. <3 Personally I don't know yet what I'm gonna do. At the moment I'm just not playing cod4 anymore, but I'm somewhat open to interesting offers I guess. As this might be my last statement I'd also like to give a special thanks to sko for picking me up in cod2, and to ozwald for being the coolest teammate for a long time."
Here at SHAME we wish them all GL in the future.
