Counter-Strike: Begrip loses Russian team

By: Luis Mira - Published March 24, 2008 at 10:09 PM EST - Writer Archive

Begrip Gaming has confirmed the departure of the Russian Counter-Strike team.

The Russian squad was one of the sides on show at ASUS Winter 2008, having finished in third place to take back home $2,450 USD.

According to Ivan "Xenitron" Totsky, his squad was approached by a local organisation called EYESPORTS with an offer that made the players part ways with Begrip Gaming two years after joining it.

"EYESPORTS offered us a better financial support, and its management is located in our country, so it will be a lot easier to contact them," Totsky told GotFrag.com.

"Now we have a lot more motivation to improve our team skills.

"We played in Begrip for two years and that was a great time, we won many main events in Russia last year but we have to move forward, that's why we have joined EYESPORTS."

The former Begrip Gaming squad is in line to make its official debut for EYESPORTS at the DTS Cup in Ukraine with the following roster:

Russia

Ivan "Xenitron" Totsky
Russia

Dmitrii "ex" Pestin
Russia

Aleksey "Flatra" Zlobich
Russia

Alexander "xek" Zobkov
Russia

Vladimir "redman" Tarasov

What's wrong with Begrip ? Everyone leaves them.
I guess they have problems with financial and management

EYESPORTS not qualified on Moscow DTS Cup Qualifier.

what happens with Begrip ^-^

Begrips not really a bad organization, it's just that when teams start to get noticed, a stronger organization usually gives that team better offers and such, which makes the team want to leave Begrip.

So yea, its basically what #5 said, Begrip has had all the best new allstars of Sweden that are currently still playing that used to play on begrip. robban, tentpole, f0rest, dsn, carn, face, get_right, bl0mstar, azl, and probably others, and right now it looks like begrip.swe still has a lineup of rising talent that might go somewhere in the near future, like fury as an example
