Call Of Duty: makeSHIFT Organization Moves to Eximius Sports

By: Brad Dick - Published July 23, 2008 at 11:48 PM EDT - Writer Archive
Eximius Sports welcomes a new CoD4 club and a new Assistent General Manager.
Eximius Sports is happy to announce a new Call of Duty 4 team to the organization and a new Assistant General Manager to Brad Dick. The ironic thing is that both the new COD4 division and the AGM are coming from the same organization.

Eximius is happy to announce that makeSHIFT Gaming is moving to Eximius Sports. The Call of Duty 4 team will be playing in CEVO-P action starting this week. The current lineup for the Call of Duty 4 team is as follows:

Nick "HoMez" Parenti
Kevin "haz3" Dodson
Kenny "dirty-" Dodson
Douglas "frizz" Glendenning
Jesse "hollywood" Woodman

Nick “HoMez” Parenti talks about the move,

“I have always thought Eximius was a good looking sponsorship and had anything happened to Makeshift, that organization would be the first one I would go after. With the recent combination of these two organizations, things are looking very bright and I’m glad to be a part of Brad's Eximius and still be under Mogwai's wing as well. I am looking forward to representing this new tag.”


When asking General Manager Brad Dick about the entire organization coming to Eximius Sports he says,

”I have always known that makeSHIFT was a good organization. It has hard to find someone who does everything on their own like David Peters does. I started out like that and until just recently had been doing everything by myself. Now that I am with Chicago Chimera helping out Brian Flander, I have to have someone to help me run Eximius Sports and maybe one day even take it over. I thought I had found someone like that in Brett “Few” Sheffield; but he really wanted to continue playing Counter-Strike. I respect that. Now that David is my new Assistant; I expect some new ideas to come for Eximius Sports in the near future. I am giving almost all power that I have in Eximius. I know that he will do great.”

The current organization of makeSHIFT gaming is going to be disbanded, however David and Brad have agreed that makeSHIFT will be only one Counter-Strike team just playing for fun and will not be taken seriously because of David’s commitment to Eximius Sports.

Finally, Eximius Sports got a quote from David “moGwai” Peters about the move,

“I have anticipated meeting someone with the same knowledge level and professionalism as Brad Dick. With his experience and my intuition, we hope to create new standards as the Eximius name grows. It was time for me to make a SHIFT, and end the establishment as a professional organization, and instead become strictly a Counter-Strike team. I would like to thank the supporters, and the help that was received.”

We would like to thank our sponsors: Nationvoice, GlobalFrag, NextGenServers, SteelSeries, and Aim2game.

Brett really tricked me this time...

but yeah, Eximius promised us mouse pads and a possible reimbursement of cevo payments the first day we joined and after 3 months of being under them we never received a thing... one of the staff members even asked me if he could make a fake comment up for me saying how much I loved the mouse pad I received (even though I didn't have it).

Brad's still a nice guy... good luck to makeshift.

DarkkLP, I told you that you would not get Steel Series equiptment unless you were under contract. You were never under contract, I like you guys but until you can prove to hang with EG, Pandemic, and MoB. I will not give any COD4 team Steel Series equiptment and will not contract them.

Business is busiess. You don't have to go keeping out many details trying to make yourself and your team look good. It is bad for eSports and bad for you.

BradDick, what can I say.

1) Steals sponsors money
2) Doesnt live up to his promises
3) Is a complete idiot
4) Spams IRC like a 10 year old kid so people can watch his TV show (LOLOL)

Also, you can check out how stupid Brad Dick is in this thread:

Just wait a month and Makeshift will be gone just like every other Eximius team.

BradDick was a nice guy when we were playing for him. He always came in our vent and spoke with us about stuff and was really active. Anytime our server would go down he would make sure it would be up as soon as possible. He's a good man.

People who haven't spoken with him personally should stop bashing him.

Maybe when he stops bragging about how good he is then people will have some respect for him. Eximius organization is horrible but yet he says as I quote " I am one of the top GM's in eSports " His cocky attitude led him to where he is now.

#18 That's not at all what you told us. You promised us time and time again that you would get the contracts out by the next week. After the 4th time I heard you utter that nonsense out of your mouth I just started laughing. Btw its pronounced eximius, not eximus. Don't make the same mistake sully did.

Dear community,

I am sorry from the bottom of my heart that I missed this news until now. If there is any way I can make up for this less-than-stellar 36th place finish, please let me know.

Yours truly,
The Fish

Dear Gotfrag,

I for one am disappointed. Of all the times I really needed The Fish to come through for me, he produces a mediocre performance rivaling the likes of Brett Favre in the NFC Championship. I will think twice before putting my full confidence in The Fish, but I will not fully concede to ruling him out in the future.

Sincerely,
An Angry Fan

I like how he capitalizes the S in esports, but no really. My favorite part is when he writes his news articles in the third person, and pretends someone actually "interviewed" him, when all he did was make up a bunch of CPL and post it on his own website.

FAIL.

(Eximius-s|BradDick) If you really are taking 15 dollars from people to distribute cheats and let people bypass, you need to stop now. Your bad for eSports, and I am a promoter of eSports.
