A new Romanian team was formed today under the name of HellGaming. Taking members from teams such as TeG and IGG it aims to be the first fully professional Romanian 1.6 clan.

Stefan "Stefan" Maritiu had this to say:

HellGaming approached me a couple of weeks ago with the brave project of creating the first professional CS team in Romania.

They told me to gather a strong line-up whom I could trust and that could have good results, we were offered contracts with salaries, bonuses and many other advantages.

The teams first LAN outing will be KODE5 Romania on the 8th of December.

Due to Taofik "CreatuRe" Jawich joining this new team, TeG were left with four. However they've now added Cristian "ONY" Dragan to the roster.

Mircea "PeRRy" Predut of TeG had this to say:

We chose ONY because there are no better players out there, either they have a team already or they are not good enough, ONY performed well in the past month, it was like he was trying to prove something

HellGaming is:

Taofik "CreatuRe" Jawich
Dorian " Dory" Pall
Daniel "k1d0r" Paka
Cosmin "never" Ghelase
Stefan "Stefan" Maritiu

TeG is now:

Adrian " Darky" Lazar
Ferdi "ferdi" Ciorabai
Cristian "ONY" Dragan
Mircea "PeRRy" Predut
Marius "TeRRoRiaNu" Ionita

Good luck to both teams.

The 12th edition of Zonerank has now been released. This months takes into account WCG 2007, ESL Extreme Masters LA and KODE5 Netherlands.

As 12 months have passed since the first ranking I've also posted the overall list of earners.

November rankings:

1st. fnatic - £1810
2nd. Pentagram - £1040
3rd. SK-Gaming - £725
4th. NoA - £470
5th. MiBR - £360
6th. roccat - £260
7th. emuLate - £180
8th. NiP - £80
9th. aTTaX
10th. CMAX.gg

27th. 4Kings

A few changes there with SK rising to third and MiBR dropping to fifth. emuLate enter the top ten for the first time and fnatic regain the top spot.

Earners over the year:

1st. fnatic - £15,100
2nd. Pentagram - £14,100
3rd. NiP - £5700
4th. MiBR - £5600
5th. aTTaX - £4100
6th. SK-Gaming - £2400
7th. roccat - £2100
8th. NoA - £1800
9th. MYM - £1400
10th. 3D - £1300
11th. wNv.gm - £770
12th. compLexity - £340
13th. emuLate - £180

As predicted a two horse battle between the top two teams of the last year. NiP pip MiBR to third and emuLate seem hard done by considering their victory at WCG and decent performance at GameGune.

Team-SiN have now reformed! With some old and new faces they're hoping to take part any new leagues and LANs that pop up.

Currently they're in theSGL championship East division and will be trying to push for promotion.

SiN is:

ArMoRkInG
firewhite
Dartagnan
Vapour
Willz

Good luck!
