Counter-Strike: Dignitas removes wilzOOO

By: Luis Mira - Published August 19, 2007 at 11:00 AM EDT - Writer Archive
Dignitas has confirmed the removal of James "wilzOOO" Wilson.
This move ends Wilson's seven-month association with Dignitas, after coming from the ranks of c4urself in January.

He played a major role in the team's second place in the World Cyber Games qualifier, after missing the first half of the Grand Final because of failing to arrive at the venue on time.

Wilson has apparently been asked to leave the squad in a move Dignitas believes to be important for the team's future.

"I am obviously sad with that incident and wilzOOO leaving as he has a bright future in gaming but a team decision was made," Michael "ODEE" O'Dell, team manager in Dignitas, told UKCounterTerrorist.com.

Former 4Kings talent Marc Mangiacapra will replace Wilson in Dignitas' starting-five in the upcoming UKPL matches and in the CGS Region 3 qualifier, with Dignitas saying CGS to be the team's top priority.

"Our CS 1.6 team will play in the UK Pro league but will mainly focus on the CGS event in September," O'Dell added.

The new Dignitas line-up will have its debut tonight, against immolate, for the UKPL league.

Dignitas has now the following roster:

United Kingdom Sam "RattlesnK" Gawn
United Kingdom Pete "Reality" Wright
United Kingdom Adam "AdY" Brown
United Kingdom Stuart Harriman
United Kingdom Marc Mangiacapra

#21 yea, now more than half of that squad is off and it seems that new 4k in uk are onfire. i doubt that dignitas will achive something in type of that eswc2007 final seeding position. but gl 2 mangia, back in the 'golden age days' he was really sharp. i remember that game in cpl 2005 [i suppose it was 2005 but im not 100prc sure] with the old u5 on cbble when marc saved hes team in 1on3 situation in the second overtime.

makes sense if they are also going to be playing the CGS since Mangiacapra has experiance with source(along with harriman). This move would make them very good in source. I dont know how they will do in 1.6 though but I hope they do well.

I acctually thought Mangiacapra and harriman already won one of the qualifiers with Turtle Gaming...

I Started the FURY craze!

wilzOOO turned up late so 4K could get to go to WCG. It was all a cover-up about him being kicked because he's too young for CGS. wilzOOO is a really good player.

I just really hope CSP takes over.

errrr... wat? Somebody explain what just happened in england.

I dont get how these 4k/ex-4k players think. 1 minute they are shafting each other trying to kick a person out of the team, next they r back, best buddys, deciding to play source.

mangia is like fisker is like ahl is like heaton is like moto is like hmm
