Following numerous meetings and discussions about the future of AbsoluteLegends.eu, we have concluded that change was necessary for the community and website to reach their potential. As such, instead of competing with our US counterpart clgaming.net, we will merge allowing us to achieve our goals and grow significantly by working together.

Quoted from "HotshotGG"

I am extremely excited about the merge between AbsoluteLegends.eu and CLGaming.net because we share the same goal. Together, I believe that we will achieve more worldwide by being able to form a bond between the two regions, EU and NA. United, we will provide more insight into the game that the League of Legends community wants than we could ever do alone. Look forward to our future developments and look for us at clgaming.net and clgaming.eu, where you will find tons of new features and content unrestricted by servers.

In conjunction with the merge there will be some changes in the team's line up, one which has already taken place was the removal of Kbap from the team which was down to a lack of motivation to improve as a player and the lack of versatility of champions he could play. Over the past week, we tried out several replacements and have come to the conclusion that the new addition will be former SK Gaming Jungler - Stephen 'Snoopeh' Ellis. Having attended several major events in League of Legends already, he has proven himself to be at the top of his game and will be a great addition to the team. In light of recent performance and as the team looks towards Season 2 which will have significant investment into competitive play in League of Legends, we will be making changes to Bot lane as both Lyumi and wewillfailer will be replaced due to conflicting personalities which limits the team's success. Replacing them will be Yellowpete (AD) and Krepo (Support) formerly of team laGG, a very notorious team among European scene for giving a tough game. They have been playing together for over one year and have a strong friendship which will help in providing a more solid and coherent team going into 2012.We would like to thank Lyumi, Wewillerfailer and Kebap for their contribution to the team and wish them the best in the future.

Quoted from "yellowpete"

I was honored by the offer to join this team and, despite it being a tough decision for me due to other alternatives that I had to let slip, chose to accept it simply because of the huge potential I saw in it. I wanna thank CLG and the team for their warm welcome and hope we will experience a successful and fun time of playing together competitively!

Quoted from "Snoopeh"

In my departure from SK Gaming, I would like to thank them for the opportunity which they have provided me over the past 4 months and even though it hasn't been plain sailing and there has been some rocky times, I have had the best experience in my life over the past 4 months with the guys from SK Gaming and as part of the League of Legends community. As a team we had the opportunity to visit different countries, which the typical gamer could only dream of visiting and as such I cannot express how grateful I am. I am good friends with everyone in the team and this bond was further strengthened from attending offline events and I'd like to say that every one of them have positively affected me and my future and I cannot thank them enough for being a friend and a team mate over the past 4 months. I know they will from strength to strength as they are committed, therefore I'm positive they can continue to be successful and I wish them the best of luck in the future. This decision wasn't one which I have taken lightly and it is with a heavy heart I leave SK Gaming, however looking at the competitive season in 2012 I needed to ensure I as a team had like-minded, level headed personalities which were at the top of their game. I will be joining Counter Logic Gaming's European Team (CLG.eu) with yellowpete (AD Carry), Krepo (Support) both former players which I had the pleasure of being in laGG with - as well as Wickd the former Top Solo for SK Gaming and Froggen (AP). I look forward to the future with my new team and we are ready to fully embrace season 2.I especially would like to thank fans for their continued support, you are making it possible for me to pursue gaming in the manner that I am and I hope you can appreciate that this decision was not an easy one, but an opportunity that I have to grasp.

Quoted from "Froggen"

Some time ago we made the decision to change our jungler because he didn't perform as good as we wanted him to. Best of luck to Kbap in the future. The replacement in the jungle will be Snoopeh. We think he is the best jungler we can get, he is also a calm and nice guy. I'm looking forward to work with him. On bottom lane we will also make some changes. Wewillfailer and Lyumi will be removed from the lineup. The reason for doing this is bottom lane didn't perform as good as they could because their attitude and the synergy between them doesn't work, which leads to the problems they had lately. We had to either remove one of them or both of them. The replacements for bottom lane will be Krepo and Yellowpete. They have played together for a long time and with this change everyone will be able to perform their best while having fun. We will also be merged with CLG which im proud to be a part of. We want to live up to the expectations that are needed from us as CLG members. We will have some greats time together for sure! I think that these changes was needed and its better to change them now than later and I think we got a better team now. The team got a very good future with these new players. wewillfailer and lyumi are both good guys and i wish the best of luck for them in the future. I'm proud that we can bring in Snoopeh, Krepo and Yellowpete. All of them are very good players and they got motivation. Right now I'm just even more motivated to do my best, practice hard and have fun while team practicing. I'm looking forward to the future.

Quoted from "Wickd"

Ilm happy that we found our new Jungler Snoopeh from my old team. The team felt Kbap just didn't care as much as the rest of us, i think it is very important that everyone in the team is on the same page, and that everyone is having a good time. We had to make some changes in our bottom lane too. Their attitude towards each other was affecting the entire team and we were at the point where neither one of them was able to continue playing with each other. I am very happy about getting Yellowpete and Krepo in our team as our new bottom lane. They have played together for a long time and have proven to work in a team. I am very happy that we will merge with CLG, and I am proud at the same time. We will do our absolute best to achieve our goals. With this merge we will be able to live up to the expectations that are needed from us. In this whole situations i stand with some mixed feelings. As a Team Captain this is the best possible thing that could happen to our team, and I really look forwards the future. Our future will be great, and we will do our best to not disappoint anyone. As a friend I am a bit sad that we have to change Wewillfailer and Lyumi, but the only 2 other possibilities were changing one of them or keep having a bottom lane that weren't on the same line. I am very happy to welcome Krepo, Snoopeh and Yellowpete in our team. I am very proud of getting to lead such an amazing bunch of players, and I will do my best to not let any of them down. I know that the dedication of these players is the best that you can possible get, and I am looking forward to our practice with a smile.
