Replika Leave In Favour Of Vitriolic

Posted by Peter ptER Mather on 2012-02-06 21:59:15

The previously known Team-Replika COD4 squad has just hours ago chosen to depart from their former home after the organization allegedly failed to live up to pre-established promises. The side has now after a short search found themselves a new home within Vitriolic Gaming.

Another sad day for Call of Duty 4 as another organization loses their team due to what appears to be broken promises. It is unclear what the side were promised within their previous home, but without the required support they suddenly found themselves without a way to meet their 2012 LAN schedule. All was not lost for the side though as after a short search they managed to find themselves a new home within the walls of Vitriolic Gaming, allowing them to proceed forward with newly renewed vigour.

The team have had a good run recently, managing to place in a highly respectable 3rd place finish at the last E-Series Maximus event last December, just below ANEXIS and TCM-Gaming. The side battled it out during the eight team playoff brackets knocking out the promising side of progrip, and then had to face off against Phantasmagoria in the 3rd place decider which finally concluded in a nail biting 2-1 finish.

Over the course of the next few months the team plan on attending one of the years major European events, the Gamersject Bunny Challenge this upcoming April, held at the HFspot Center Utrine in the capital of Croatia, Zagreb. Whether the team will be able to outperform their previous LAN attendances it's hard to tell, but they are sure to have the best of opportunities within their new found home.

Statement - Marco Vogt:
"After a short period with the new formed organisation "Replika" we decided to go different ways. The Organisation itself promised us things which they couldn't keep. Luckily it hasn't took much time to find a new home who can finally provide us going to the upcoming events. We found support with Vitriolic Gaming. Finally we can focus on our game and tie on our latest performances from the e-series maximus. Thank you Vitriolic for letting us be a part!"
Statement - Team Replika:
"Well here we are, our Call of Duty 4 team has left us. I do really like these guys, but unfortunatly they felt that we couldn't support then. If I am honest the situation was delt with very poorly, they simply detagged without saying anything to us and that was it, so I really don't know what happened or why they wanted to leave, but its happened. I do wish them all the best of luck they are really cool guys and deserve an organisation they feel comfortable with. As for us, I guess its a good time to announce that we are looking into providing cups for the CoD4 scene, but whether or not we will support another CoD4 team is, at this time, unclear."

TaKe (the tomzki of German SC2 so to speak), seems pretty happy with them co-sponsoring his team, and team house.

TaKe was part of the Type II deal, Roger (the former CEO) was the one funding the Type team however since the best part of the management have left, can't see the deal lasting much longer. As far as I know, deal is off after February, won't go into much detail but it's a shame that the Type team have to go through this 'shit phase'.

Just a quick summary - Vitriolic had a top CS & CSS team back in 2008-09. Nordy (now in Reason Gaming) who was the investor and part of the management parted ways with the org which in effect meant the org had no funding. This lead to the teams leaving the org shortly followed by the org shutting down. It was only late 2010 when plans had risen from the old management to get it back up & running, they spent 2011 getting things setup and put in motion. Merging with Ventus Gaming was the turning point as the org was on a downward spiral since the management had a falling out. The org is now run by Pieter (aka Cyrus) who in my eyes will only make things worse since he has no funding for the SC2 team, cod4 team or anyone else..

@tomzki, and you don't think Type can keep on operating the team house and the players without vitriolic?

@messioso, not everyone is as knowledgeable as you are :P

Post seems very critical towards us, but frankly everything was handled very poorly. We couldn't get into contact with them most of the time, and although they are really sound guys and of course good players, we just dont feel we wanted to spend as much money as they would like us to, into CoD4 as we have heavily invested a lot of money into other scenes such as SC2. We would like to support CoD4 in different ways i.e cups etc. But overall disappointed at how 'bad' we may come across in this post. However best of luck to the guys!

It kinda comes over like "oh so we split ways with our cod4 team but now that we dont want to look like a bad org we're gonna say some stuff about hosting cups and stuff"

i can host cups on my own at tourney.cc, bla.
(even with money, other thing would be if its a 1k+ € cup ;d)
no offense
shame as i always like the orgs name when they got shoutcasted :(

Ye I see what you mean, but the post feels very critical towards us, and we literally had no idea that they were unsettled, over the past few weeks we as an organisation have actually been debating our presence in CoD4, and although this is the inevitable end result, we just feel it could have been dealt with more professionally.

"we literally had no idea that they were unsettled" You dont talk to your teams ? And saying you couldn't get into contact with them most of the time is bs lol

We talk to all our teams, and I didn't have contact with them, that was dealt with by another manager. I personally don't use xfire.

Pretty sure I haven't seem then in TS for a while as well.

Shame that Vitriolics name will be dragged through the mud when they can't offer any support other than the odd razer product now and then.

Good luck though.

Indeed, me, tomzki and the original owner stepped down from Vitriolic and the owner decided to give Pieter (Cyrus) full rights. Vitriolic has nothing more then gear from Razer and now tries to promise these great lads all the support they want.

Also, a massive fucking lol @ their Awards section. I mean, I know it's the ButtonBashers site just with a bit of paint slapped on it, but this is ridiculous.

frantx still owes me € 125,-. So now, without spending money in CoD4 he can finally pay me after 8 months...

So now there really is no more valid reason for the org to be called "Replika" since nobody tied to the original Replika is left in it... lulz

Removed :D. As it is also still running on the BB hosting I just cleared the SQL for that page. I told him I will keep the website up till the 1st of March so he will need his own website before that.
