The american based organization keeps on getting bigger and bigger, they have announced the acquisiton of a new team.

This new team will represent them in the DotA 2 scene.

The guys behind the organization have secured the services of the former  Lianghao danish team.

The announcement was made on the official website of the organization, where the managers stated:

"When FlipSid3 began back in 2013, 100% of our focus was on the Dota 2 community. In a way, it was the common ground that brought together the founding members of this organization.

As we grew as an organization, we found ourselves moving away from the DotA 2 scene as we branched into other games. Today, we could not be happier to announce we are coming back to our roots!

We are privileged to reveal that the squad formerly representing the Lianghao tag will now be playing under the FlipSid3 Tactics name!

This also means that we welcome home Brian, Jonathan, and Christoffer, who will be donning the green and grey once again."

Team captain, Brian 'MaNia' Strandby stated:

“I am really happy to work with FlipSid3 again. They are a growing organization with a great staff behind them, so I’m really excited to see what the future brings. I hope we can show good results as a full Danish team and maybe bring Denmark a bit back on the DotA 2 map”

The new DotA 2 team for  Flipsid3 Tactics is:

 Jonathan 'unicornxoxo' Arge

 Jon '13abyKnight' Andersen

 Marcus 'Ace' Hoelgaard

 Malthe 'Blan' Zimakoff

 Brian 'MaNia' Strandby (C)

"Normal discipline and motivation, prevented the first team to go to the finals of the second season of League, and then prepare for normal DAC, showed that at this stage the team is not able to achieve the necessary for a decent performance at TI5 form.

We carried out several structural changes to the team that changed things for the better, but now, in the period before TI5 progress is unsatisfactory, and I decided not to take the boys last chance for a decent performance at TI5 more suitable for each of them collective.

Good luck to all the players and thanks for the work done as part of the job."

The british caster/host of former  Intel Extreme Masters events in the Starcraft 2 field has left the german based organization.

The announcement was made by the caster himself in a post over at  ESL, where he stated:

"My time with ESL came at a point in my life where all of the bricks fell into place and they offered me the chance to do the things I loved doing.

I will be forever grateful for the opportunity given to me by good friends such as Ralf Reichert, Tobias Grieser and Sven Hoffmann.

My time at ESL has seen enormous growth, not only for esports but for ESL too, and I'd like to think I played a small role in some of that.

One of the many reasons this was such a hard decision is because I have had the true pleasure of working with some of the finest minds in esports over the last two and half years.

Working alongside Michal Blicharz, James Lampkin and Oliver Lossef among many, many talented people has been a real honour and I have learned a great deal from them."

Shortly after this, the announcement was made that,  Paul 'ReDeYe' Chaloner has joined the british based organization Gfinity where he will step in the shoes of "Head of Broadcasting", he will be in charege of future events that will run under  Gfinity flag.

CEO of  Gfinity,  Neville Upton stated:

"Paul’s arrival marks an important step in our journey to becoming the number one choice for gamers and esports enthusiasts internationally.

With ten years’ experience of working in the sector he has developed an unrivalled knowledge and understanding of what it takes to run a world class esports programme and we are thrilled to have him on board.{linkr:related;keywords:events;limit:5;title:More+News}
