It took a bit of time for the reigning DreamHack Winter 2012 Champion Aydin 'iNsania' Sarkohi to present his new team, but now the roster is official. Alongside his former tdM teammate noobG, three additional well-known names from the scene join the captain.
The last couple of months went up and down for Aydin 'iNsania' Sarkohi, who lost his spot in Trademark eSports after the third cycle of HoN Tour, only to try to build up a new squad for the remainder of the tournament. His project "The Fire Rises" with Kebap, ZerGo, Zlap and others had good outings initially, but the consistency and thrive inside the team made a huge success story impossible. In the end the team went through several roster changes, got demoted to the Gold Division and ended the first HoN Tour season on a happy note with a march through said Gold Division.
Still the squad had no future and so the search for a new team began again for the designated captain and jungler iNsania. Now he has found four players he will attempt to qualify for DreamHack with. One of the four players is his old Trademark teammate noobG, who was a pivotal part of tdM's rise in the first place. The Danish carry player is one of the most renowned and strongest players in the game today.
In addition to the bunch from the former Trademark eSports team, Xibbe and fUzi from One Trick Pony fame. With that team both had an amazing run through the early stages of the HoN Tour Season - the highlight being the third place in Cycle 5. The team struggled after that due to various reasons and disbanded with the end of the HoN Tour season.
Last but not least on the team is the well-known and veteran support player Sender. iNsania and Sender already have a history together with them playing together in DreamOn and It's Gosu, after Blackfade disbanded and Sender was replaced as a member of the North American version of Trademark eSports.
The name for this squad will have the catchy tag of [iG] and will wear the name Internet Gangsters. The first tournament with this team did not got all too well, when iG faced the dominant Stay Green in the first round of the "Runic Shift" patch introduction tournament, but their results in the DreamHack Summer Qualifier are looking promising. First the squad marched right into the Double Elimination Bracket with ease, now they are among the last four teams in the Upper Bracket of that tournament. Yesterday the first statement victory over a top-tier squad made them a force to be reckoned with - sweeping QsQ.
Lineup Internet Gangster:
iNsania - Jungle/Second Support
fUzi - Mid
Xibbe - Suicide
noobG - Carry
Sender - Support
The next appearance of the emerging squad will be May, 16th in the Upper Bracket Semifinals of the DreamHack Summer Qualifier against compLexity Gaming.
