The upcoming American talent has started to become known, as teams such as Transcendence have risen up to be a powerful team. After a respectable 4th place finish at the Fire in Ice LAN this past December, 50 Calibre announced today that trNs would become their DotA division.

Though Transcendence has yet to win a major event, they have spent the past months re-arranging their roster. They recently announced their additions of former eMazing Gaming member, Dean 'AlvinYork' Malmberg and goingLive's Sean 'Cubswin' Winkler.

As the largest online tournament to date has started, trNs will look to prove that they deserve to represent 50|Cal as their DotA team

Nick 'Mirror' Laney told GotFrag, "I'm excited to join up with 50 calibre gaming. So far everyone i've met has been pretty awesome and the staff are incredibly helpful. Moving forward .50|cal DotA is ready to play to the best of our capabilities and have results that reflect it."

"After ESWC announced that DotA would be one of the official games for 2008. 50Calibre Gaming began looking into various North American DotA teams. No team stood out more than team trNs. Thus it is with much excitement 50Calibre is able to announce the addition of our new DotA squad. Look forward to seeing them compete in various upcoming DotA LAN and online events," stated 50|Cal owner Andrew 'sLz' Washington.
