With NCE.i3d recently confirming Dan "VAE" Ball as their fifth player but after a turn of events, Dan "VAE" Ball has decided to part ways with the team.
Next Century Esports have been making a name for themselves with the new line up, winning the Clanbase Eurocup, coming #2 in Esports Heaven Roccat tournament and also breaking into the Cadred top10 COD4 ranking. Its seems that a differing attitude between Dan "vae" Ball and the rest of the team has caused him to part ways. The team will be looking for a 5th player before CiC7 in Enschede.
This leaves NCE.i3D as follows:
Thomas "ChoObiE" Mead
Dimitri "delroO" Decan
Adam "vanner" Vanner
Stacey "skeir" Keir
Statement from Thomas "ChoObiE" Mead: "We’ve played with Danny for quite a while and he was the logical choice as a player to pick up. Sadly VAE and the rest of us feel a difference in the level of ‘seriousness’ and this has unfortunately made the game less fun for Danny, ending up in us parting ways on very good terms. We’re fully supporting whatever direction Danny is headed and hope the best for him. Thus our quest for a new 5th begins, and we’re in search for any player who believes they have the potential to compete at a ‘top-tier’ level"
Statement from ex-NCE.i3d player, Dan "VAE" Ball: "I would like to thank Next Century and all of the team for giving me a chance, I still really rate the team and all the players, they’re lovely guys yet we just wanted different things. This team will go far undoubtedly and I wish them and whoever they choose as a 5th the best of luck, I’m sure they don’t need it :)
