AbsoluteLegends is proud to announce that eSahara, an esports organisation formed in 2010, will join AbsoluteLegends. Both organizations considered it the best to join forces, because we both want to achieve the same goal. With the merge, AbsoluteLegends is becoming one of the biggest eSports organizations of Europe. Therefore the Counter Strike 1.6 team, Quake Live player and the StarCraft 2 players will join AbsoluteLegends.
The League of Legends and the DotA2 team will stay with us and participate in tournaments as usual.
Tim Buysse C.E.O. of AbsoluteLegends
I am happy to partner up with Mr. Ryad Abour and his organisation eSahara, for quite some time already I have been helping out eSahara with marketing, since I always had my own project and me and Ryad realised we were both fighting for the same goals we knew this was the best choice to make to unite our forces and stand stronger than we would ever be on our own. By joining forces we will be able to compete with the other top teams in all big competitive games.
Ryad Abour C.E.O. of eSahara
Since the begining of eSahara story many of you are supporting us, and we would like to thank you. Through this project, I wanted to support a gaming organization of top players in the most iconic games and a rich content news portal around a dynamic community. To achieve this goal, we are proud to announce eSahara is merging with AbsoluteLegends and his C.E.O., Tim Buysse, with whom we have done a great job in recent months. This alliance highlights a turning point for AbsoluteLegends teams. In my eyes, our new organization becomes one of the strongest in Europe, I hope that year 2012 will be ours.
They are basically dropping the structure, in a total denial of all the hard work that has been done before the "merge". This is not a real merge, eSahara is just giving all their players for free.
Best move ever (sarcasm inside).
Gl to AL anyway, many ex eSahara players are worth following.

Well that hardly answers the question does it? "What is Apple?" -"Well, it's a big company." The 1.6-team, the starcrafters and Strenx were all part of eSahara, don't know about the LoL or DotA-teams though.
Yea, can anyone explain the oGs-TL and eSahara partnership? I don't quite get it. It is just because their players play in the same house as oGs, or what?

Kicked, as the whole staff (news writers, shoutcasters, designers and web developpers), oh and they heard about it the same time the news popped on teamliquid.
Clever Title. Best of luck AL and eS. To clear a little up, the oGs-TL partnership is closer to a family thing. They've been together for a while, TL players train at the oGs house. eS has a partnership kind of like coL-MvP. This eS-AL thing sounds like a merger.

Not surprising coming from the team that signed a fake bw pro impersonator.
If that doesn't states the rather poor quality of the management in the LoL community, I don't know what will.
aL gets eS best teams a korean partnership for free.
I guess the loan Mr. Abour got wasn't that big after all. So can we finally put them in the same category as Virus because that news is Virus-like. And I thought you were on the good way after the VERDI incident.
PS : Eh illuu, what about you writing a explanation here ? If you have time to fulfill your narcissistic impulse on the Liquipedia, you have time to comment here.

wow, that's pretty fucked
There is something weird about French orgs ... I have always had an iffy feeling for them(see Virus too for example)
Fun fact Absolute Legends CEO Tim "WetDreaM" Buysse used to be a maphacker in broodwar, dota and was involved in questionable developments in League of legends scene.

Why would I lose my time answering your trashtalks when I have to fulfill my narcissistic impulse on the Liquipedia ? Everything has been said by Tim Buysse and Ryad Abour in their statements.. Really I don't get your point, by the way if you really want some answers, feel free to contact me on mIRC or send me an email to illu@esahara.net, I would be glad to answer your questions.
Absolute Legends,is such a bad name for a team.it reminds me when i was 10 y/o playing CS with my friends and we would make a team called '1337 warriors''.eSahara was such a sexy name in my opinion.
Like many, citing the above as an example, I just came by to drop a meaningless post therefore raising my post count by one.
Haha, but imagine if no one said anything if an organization signed a new player, etc. it would seem like no one cared.
But anyway, this is clearly more AL absorbing eS than a "merge," but my question is were there any SC2 AL players to begin with? Or is it simply that all eS players will change to AL? If so, will you acquire more players soon as a result of this?
So I guess that WetDream guy is the C.E.O. of aL? The dude doesn't exactly come across as a very reliable person tbh.
And also, what is the deal with oGs in this? The aL webpage lists a bunch of oGs players as part of their "AbsoluteLegends.oGs (Old Generations) , professional South Korean StarCraft II team."
Having seen the way wetdream dealt with mTw and their lol team I wouldn't be suprised to see this all end in a train wreck. The basic strategy he is following: acquire good teams, promise them alot, rack in sponsor money and ad revenue.
