Counter-Strike: Mangiacapra leaves 4Kings

By: Luis Mira - Published June 09, 2007 at 2:34 PM EDT - Writer Archive
Marc Mangiacapra has confirmed his departure from the 4Kings roster.
The British player had joined 4Kings in late March, following a disappointing experience in the multinational squad Praetoriani.

With 4Kings, Mangiacapra was able to qualify for the EuroCup Playoff stage but failed to win the local ESWC qualifier after losing to Dignitas in the Grand Final.

Past the ESWC qualifier, Mangiacapra showed his intention to abandon the squad to play Counter-Strike: Source so that he could participate in the CGS qualifier.

According to the official announcement, Mangiacapra has teamed up with Polarity +/-, a local team composed by former members of 4Kings and Team Ebuyer.

His departure leaves 4Kings with four players only one day before the important EuroCup match against a-Losers. Ben Woodward, staff member in 4Kings, stressed that the team will continue existing despite "most of the eSports world moving to source."

This said, 4Kings has now the following roster:

United Kingdom Stuart Harriman
United Kingdom Adam "AdY" Brown
United Kingdom Tom "toomy" Harries
United Kingdom Harvinder "dh" Rehinsi

I love how everyone badmouths 1.6 legends like 3d/col/red/marc as soon as they switch to source. And its always 1.6 randoms who do it who have no accomplishments themselves.

Here are the facts:

If you want to make some serious quick cash in eSports then you have to take the chance on CGS being successful. Especially as no UK team will ever win ESWC, WCG or any other major cs event if the Europeans are in attendance. It really sucks but 1.6 will probably be close to death by the start of 2008.

Why do you say such thíngs about him? He is a cs-player like you and me who never got to a level like "SpawN" --- who cares?
I'm definnatly not a fan of him but its just lame to say things like that when a player is not really good cuz i would blow your nuts and he would so = f*** off

He's always been THE UK CS legend. Sad to see him on source but gl anyway marc.

Dont worry, only progamers that doesnt have a topteam right now, try what happens for playing Source.

Just satisfying curiosity.

1.6 dominates the world currently, its a fact.
Currently :(

this team is stuffed, seriously. Most notoriously unprofessional CS team in eSports.

They have no choice, i think now but to go fully European.

i dont understand how people who have obviously been playing this game for like 2 years want to critisize a guy thats been playing it professionally for like 6 years. and for 4k never "winning" they got 2nd at a weg and theyve been placing top5-10 at cpl for as long as i can remember. if that isnt an accomplishment to u then u need to rethink what consititutes an "accomplishment"
