Interesting for all who are at least a little bit interested in competitive gaming.
"Turning Point"
Code7 have an announcement to make which at the same time ends a chapter in a life of this clan and marks a start for a something new. Altought many may found this to be a sad development i consider it to be a healthy step in the evolution for Code7 in respect of competitive gaming.
As from this point forwards Hans "Olit" Olofsson, Martin "Jazze" Jansson, and Andreas "Vanishz" Finnsted wont be part of Code7 anymore.Also an ultimatum has been given to Thomas "Redux" Ronning and Tobias "Speedyheadshot" Emmerdahl which MAY result to their departure as well. Before going to any details considering this rather drastic move, we wish to extend our gratitude to the contribution these players have made to build Code7 for what it has been untill today. In addition Code7 renounces the usage of name Code7 and the remaining members of Code7 for any marketing deal untill further notice.Effectively this means, all the current sponsorship deals are rather agreements between Hans Olofsson and respectable companies and no written contract has been made between Code7 and these parties of interrest. Code7 is a brand invented and owned by Marco Hannukka and Code7 Productions (registered company and owned by Sami Takalo).
We are sure many are expecting to hear some kind of explanation for such a drastic measure we are about to take and yes you are right, we are entitled to give you one. We feel that we have reached the end of one road and stand in crossroads. Its time to make choices and for the first time in a long while we have a change to make those choices. It is safe to say Code7 will not be participating in any active 8on8 competitions and by the looks of current state of battlefield franchise its also safe to say that it will be quite some time before anything new can be introduced into the clan scene as far as larger bf team gaming is concerned. So its really a perfect oppurtunity to clear out the table from previous success brought by battlefield 2 and start planning for the future.
As far as future is concerned, Code7 will focus on evaluating possible games to actively take part mainly focusing in continuing the success story in Quakewars. To be able to do it, we need to gather a new team for a new game. We wanted us to have the core of Code7, the seeds where it all grew left intact and hope those seeds will provide another fruitfull crop for the new game. Ofcourse additions will need to be taken in but those we will deal within the requirements of the new game once its closer to its release. We wont stop gaming, we will still try to pass the time by playing infantry tournaments in bf2 and possible testing out some other options while waiting for year 2007.
This move is a pre-emptive move to cut down already way too big team size and put the end for growing divisions inside Code7 which threatened the existence of the whole clan. We felt that the only way to end the growing amount of disputes was to make such a drastic move we made today. We also felt that the team had lost its appetite by getting too settled for listening the praises of others rather than proving the opposition wrong with the only way there is to, train and beat the shit out of them. We were also very displeased by the way our previous management held to its tasks. It failed to provide any of the goals it was set to accomplish, on the contrary it seemed to be more about personal gains and control over other people than actually providing better means for this team to compete which ofcourse is unnacceptable.
As from now on team manager of Code7 will be Marco "Corey" Hannukka untill further notice and Tomi "Kalma" Sarni will continue as team leader. As for the rest of the team Matias "Chordi" Sointu, Oskar "Osk" Somme, Vegar "Neo" Ladd and Sebastian "Liontail" Paluch, they can make up our their own minds about their future. Whatever decision they will come up, We will respect it but we truly hope they will stay and help us build a new more stronger team.
We wish good luck to Vanishz,Olit and Jazze for whatever they decide to do with their futures and i am hoping Redux and Speedyheadshot will agree with us and do the right thing. As for the supporters, we ask for patience and undertanding, we WILL come back and we will do good in future also.
Over and out,
