Everground Changes
Everground cannot seem to keep a stable line up as of late. GotFrag
recently reported the departure of the team’s leader, rapely, and
member, NurseSara, as well as the arrival of ashLeet. The official EVG
website later reported internal conflict led to Gabrielle, Becky and
ashLeet leaving the team to pursue outside ventures. Rapely returned to
her post and chose to take the team out of competitive play during such
roster insecurities. Finally, elder member Gabrielle chose also to
return to the line up and continue on with the Everground name. The team
also recruited two new players in hopes of regaining some of the past
momentum. Can this team regain the ground the lost after dropping
CALeague and losing starting members? GotFrag will keep you updated.

WaSabi adds two
WaSabi quietly added two new members to their central based line up;
earlier this week the team welcomed Cricket and m0chi. The addition of
Cricket comes as no surprise to those who are familiar with the history
of some of the wS members. Ricebar, Jem and Cherie have all played with
Cricket from their old team Feminine Effects. The current roster holds
over eight members and looks strong enough to attain a move into
CAL-intermediate. Good luck to WaSabi in the reminder of their active
season.

XPLeague Confirms Teams
The XPLeague’s female division has confirmed eight teams for their premier
season, with more to come. Presently, the XPLeague’s team base consists of
Absolute Affliction Girls, BurntPink, Canadian Divas, Elle Gaming,
Everground, Force Fox Five, Game Point Girls, Mug N Mouse Ragazzang and the
Women of War clan. With only one Pacific team, the XPL-Female division will
provide a great environment for the predominately central based crop, along
with east and west teams, within the close geographic range to formerly
compete without compromising server latencies. Interested female teams can
register at www.thexpl.com and create an application for approval. Once
roster close GotFrag will provide readers with a complete team profile list
for the beginning of its XPL-Female coverage. Stay tuned!

Les Seules release Two, Gain
One
Scandinavian female counter-strike team, Les Seules have announced the
departure of two of the team’s active members. Les Seules have been
internationally regarded as one of the Counter-Strike’s top female gaming
teams from their days as the ladies of Schroet Kommando’. After reforming as
Les Seules, the group placed 4th among last years Electronic World Sports
Female Masters Cup. The team’s popularity sky rocketed and led them to make
headlines all around the world after being featured in SYNC Magazine as a
full feature photo shoot on female gamers. This leaves the team with only
five active members: zeleNa, AurorA, Queen*, Sophie & Vixen. The ladies have
released a full statement,
fuelling rumours of internal conflicts, to their supporters. Just last
Monday, the team announced the arrival of former SK.Lady and Hooked member,
MissHyper, to fill in the missing link in the line as Vixen goes inactive to
focus on personal issues. Although Vixen remains on the team, it seems
zeleNa, AurorA, Queen*, Sophie and MissHyper will reside as the starting
five. GotGirl will be following along any further updates.

LadieS.AMD parts with One
Earlier last week LadieS.AMD, famous for their second place finish at the
ESWC Female Masters Cup, announced active starter Claudia ‘LoKiNhA’ Miranda
has decided to leave the group. Citing personal reasons, LoKiNhA’s departure
will leave the LadieS with only five competitive members: Nath, 1004, Le,
Cookie and Dri-K. It seems the split is amicable between the two as the
LadieS website mentions a possible reunion for future events.

Fatal Attraction Retires
Scandinavian team Fatal Attraction finished their final chapter as one of
Europe’s best female Counter-Strike clans. Fatal Attraction made news after
competing in Europe’s League of Extraordinary Women. Battling all the way to
semi-finals, where they lost to team All 4 One, Fatal Attraction built a
strong reputation for being a highly skilled female team in the competitive
community. FA will be remembered by it’s cast of characters: Ninnzan,
Nerdinnen, Miichy, Stumpan, Pandora and Cazzidy. Good luck to the FA ladies
in future endeavours.
