Just.int can be answered. To fill those unaware of what WE.Just.int is it is a bulgarian based clan to joined renowned Warcraft3 team and Wc3L winner World Elite as their European Warcraft 3 division. From their official statement that was passed onto us the managers of Just Players explain the situation and the factors that led this decision:
“Today we are sad to announce that we are parting ways with our Chinese friends from World Elite. It was great cooperation for sure and it helped us a lot to improve as a team and as a name and also we did our best to help them to get some popularity in Europe and to be proud with their 2 teams in the most prestigious leagues. We built good relationship with the management of the Asian part but it came time that we can’t continue this merge. The reasons are simple and don’t need too much explanation.
They are a Chinese organization and they have mostly Asian fans and they need publicity there. Also the team had, have and it’s looking for Asian sponsors which aren’t that interested in advertising in Europe so we can’t offer them much.
So we decided Just Players needs to search for European sponsors, which are close to the European teams and scene. The only chance for this is to leave the World Elite and we’re making this step now. Team Just Players will participate in both NGL-One and WC3L and will stay together with the Bulgarian and international players. We want to save what we built with the team and we won’t give up for sure. Together we are starting to look for new sponsors, who are ready to support the team and meanwhile we will give our best for a good start in the new seasons of the leagues that we participate in.”
Despite the possible departure could be said to have been foreseen the addition of a new player was perhaps not. After the departure of Russian Orc player RoB a new Orc player will join their ranks for the new WC3L Season starting in the next few days, the Swedish Orc player Fredrik "Knoff" Knopf.
The Just Players issued the following statement:
“We are happy to welcome Knoff in the team, since he is an extremely nice guy and also very talented and capable player. We needed Orc player and we find him perfect for this spot. Also he’s in very good relations with all the guys in the team, especially with LiiLD.C which makes this choice even better. He will be a key player and important person in the team, like any other member. He will also help us improving the team best way possible and to reach our goals. We are looking for good cooperation with him which we hope will last for long time. Welcome!"
Furthermore new recruit KnOfF had this to say:
“First of all, I’m very happy about joining JuSt Players. I was searching a team for a while and think I can get new chance to develop as player now. The pressure won’t be the same as it was in mouz, but in on other hand, here I will have different role, including a lot of other things besides playing. I’m also a very good friend with LiiLD.C who always supports me so I think I will feel very good in the team with him. I’m looking forward for good performance and I hope I will improve myself a lot with guys like DIDI8, DieSeL and all other my teammates. JuSt Fighting!”
The line-up for the clan now looks as follows:
Management: DIDI8, Bladeto, tedet
JuSt.DieSeL
JuSt.Shocker
JuSt.Jack
JuSt.LiiLD.C
JuSt.MaDFroG
JuSt.SonKiE
JuSt.KnOfF

With Liild.C making the ClanBase EuroCup LAN finals, KnofF making the Battle.net Season V finals and Madfrog returning to shape the future looks bright for Just Players who were promoted to the NGL-One as well as being present for the second season in a row in the upcoming WC3L season. SK Gaming wishes them the best of luck in the future!
