Kow3 in trouble - the end is near

kow3, point

A few days ago, the Korean Player Korea, South Orc FiveStar left his team Internationa- Kings of Warcraft 3, by then due to unknown reasons. Yesterday, the clan had to deal with even worse news as they lost their two Nightelf stars Korea, South Nightelves Winners and Korea, South Nightelves SouthSea

We spoke to some of the people involved in the Kow3 organization today, and the background of all this was the inactivity of the team owner and the resulting financial problems, as he was the only one who kept in contact with their sponsors.

Now, this relationship will end soon and as a there seems to be no more resources left, Kow3 will disband after the current WC3L Season.
But the fans of the players involved do not have to worry as the european members of the squad will try to find a new home.

We were able to speak with the captain of the squad, Russian Fede- Point:

Its a very sad situation, because we had a really great team with FiveStar, WinNers and SouthSea but problems with organisation and connection with sponsors make us play not on our LVL and all those sad loses make all even worse. I hope we can make atleast 1 win in 2 last matches and then, Kow3 will be no more. But we will stay as a Team and will search new home for requalify for Wc3L.

The remaining players are:

Russian Fede- Nightelves Point (Captain)
Sweden Nightelves Ziebed
Korea, South Nightelves Thrall
Russian Fede- Undead big
Korea, South Orc Bz
Sweden Human Target
(inactive)
Sweden Nightelves Zippers (inactive)

We can only wish the best of luck to the team and that they will find a new home soon.

well, they are not in danger in one or two days. but it seems the first team who qualified for this season is also going to disqualify as the first team :s

It was clear that it would come so far. The organisation was to incapable to form a team, although the team was very strong with players like Fivestars or Winners. Besides, still came that Maista which managed at least something has gone inactive. So it was to be seen from that it would come so far.
No surprise at all.

Pathetic morons (-> #1) will now spam these comments again with their "merc"-shouting.. could you pls hold in mb? It's the management that failed and by calling the koreans mercs in general, you offend them and not the responsibles. Or would you play for a foreign mass gaming ladder clan without being paid??!
Pull me down again and guide me into pain.

The truth is: SouthSea, FiveStars and Winners didn't pay off in the end. Kow3 is the last one in the WC3L Ranking, with a performance worse than - for instance - Praetoriane, who passed through a storm of problems during the season.

Kow3 was a great promise indeed, but with the lack of results, there was no reason to keep up the team. =//

To those of you who call them mercs. They are professionals they don't play this game because they like being in that team etc. they play for money of course they stop playing for that team if they stop paying.

Of course team spirit might be a reason for them to lower their demands but in the end they are looking for a good and especially save salary. Don't tell me you'd do different in your jobs.

do you think people work in cubicals typing up reports out of loyalty for their company? these guys spend alot of their freetime practicing and training for leagues like wc3l, do you think they want it to be just for fun? they want money like everyone else, and i will bet you a bajizzilion dollars (USD) that grubby would leave 4k for a team like mouz or sk in a heartbeat if 4k stops paying him

#23 professionals? do you really compare kow3 with 4K, MYM, WE.IGE? If you talk about winners, 5star and ssea they joined the team only because kow3 promised them A LOT of money which they of course never paid (actually they paid some money, but that was like a rain in a desert). Simple greed and that's what people call mercing, as simple as that.

#20 why doesn't he play with your tag on korean tournaments? ^_^

#24, i just can't comment your posts because you'll never understand it
