incredibly unexpected, as 4K has been huge organization in past and elevengaming has yet to do anyhting large
HHOWEVER THAT BEING SAID

i feel elevengaming has great potential as players and a team so not disappointed at all! best of luck to the new fourkings!

thats basically how I feel. I just hope everyone speaks fluent english (looking at the two older 4k members myself) and that there can be some effective practice amongst all the players

Does this mean that 4Kings now has money? Or are they still as broke as they've been for the last 4 years?

the two biggest British teams with SC2 divisions

I stand corrected. I thought they were more Eastern Europe.

I miss Creo. I'm also pretty sad that Tod has not done a whole lot as far as tournaments, if anything yet. Pulling for Grubby in SC2.

It's odd that Grubby is staying a lone wolf, similar to White-ra. Maybe it's because of steelseries? Seems off in my opinion, Best of luck to 4K though! :D

My theory on Grubby(and it is just a theory, as he has said nothing on the matter), is that he is waiting until he proves himself to choose a team. He has had successful histories with many of the largest esports organizations in the west, and even with his comparatively limited level of success so far in WC3, should have no trouble finding a team. He probably has plenty of money saved up, and he has a personal sponsorship from Steelseries, so he is in no hurry to take a contract until he has established himself to his full potential.

I'm excited to see how 4K will do in sc2. It will be hard to repeat their success from wc3 though. It would be interesting if Grubby and Tod would rejoin them

I always rooted for SK Gaming since Insomnia was on that team and I remember vividly how depressing it was to see 4K dominate over and over again. Looking at the wc3l, the most prestigious clan league for wc3, it's fair to say that 4K was the "greatest clan of all time":
team : gold : silver : bronze
4K: 4/3/2
SK: 3/1/5
MYM: 2/4/0
Those are the three most accomplished teams in the wc3l. By the way, the wc3l had 13 seasons. 4K and SK made it 9 times in the top three, but as you can see 4K had more golds and silvers. In addition, there was that one season when 4K entered the finals with only 3 players , thus starting every match with a 0-1 disadvatage, but still managed to win it all.

"monopoly on the best players" however, is rather inaccurate. Grubby and Tod were truly amongst the very best for a long period of time, but there were other equally great players in other teams.

Oh god, I loved that lineup. I followed pro WC3 pretty heavily and 4k was always my fave. Loved everyone and when Creo won at Blizzcon before retiring i was estastic !

The 4K logo looks like the General Electrics logo..
