Discovering 53°N 8°E *
Recently the WarCraft III team formerly playing for evoplay, renamed itself to Team Clanless, obviously showing that they had parted from their former organization and were looking for a new one.
Under the evoplay flag they succesfully qualified for the fourth NGL-ONE season and thus added many well known players to strenghten their roster, in order to be prepared for the matches against top class opponents such as Meet Your Makers.
Meet Your Makers is in fact the opponent that Team Clanless is facing at this very moment, lining up on the field the Hungarian talent Peter 'DNA' Agardi, the renowned Johan 'NaNiwa' Lucchesi, who left fnatic not long ago in a big fuss, and two of the Finnish national team, that was joyfully celebrated as champion of the last European Nations Championship (ENC): Samu 'BriNGeR' Riihelä and Samuli 'elfittaja' Sihvonen. Not to mention the rest of their ranks: Tuomas 'Sein' Lahtinen (also part of the Finnish team), Timothée 'Chob' Ngoubo, Manuel 'MaNuS' Helm and some more -- all in all a balanced roster of young and ambitious players, which should not make them stay ''clanless'' much longer.
And apparently they already found a fitting partnership, as they are now playing under the 53°N 8°E name; but what does this name mean? Since an organization with such a name does not exist, it must mean something else. There used to be a Counter-Strike team with a similar name, 69°N-28°E, but they are now known as roccat. Those are the coordinates of a lake in Finland: with a brief research I found out that 53°N 8°E are the coordinates of Bremen, in Germany. Does that mean that Roccat is going to expand to WarCraft III? The roccat organization already showed us how much they love spreading some hype, so that might be the case. Yet there should be no link between the team and Bremen; moreover, roccat hiring a WarCraft III team does not really sound.
Update: Shayan 'Shayan' Taleb, team manager of roccat, wanted to deny any involvement by stating the following: ''I like the idea, since it's ours from the beginning of course it's a great idea. But no, this has nothing to do with roccat!''
Hence it has to be another organization supposedly having their head-quarters located in Bremen. But who could they be?
