The newly-formed sensation of BFB has now gained a sponsor that recognizes the group as their DotA.Int squad.

Following Ben's Friendly Buddies' stunning victory over Meet Your Makers, the squad went on a trek in search of sponsors. Initially, the team's sponsorship deals were turned down by several high-ranking eSports organizations that could not fit a DotA squad of their calliber into their ranks. It looked discouraging for BFB, as the organizations the players familiarized themselves with had closed and locked the doors behind them. Fortunately, the squad has found a new home within the ranks of Blight Gaming as their second DotA team.

Prior to the sponsorship arrangement, player Jimmy 'DeMoN' Ho cooperated with Blight Gaming founder and CEO James 'blackfrog' Larsen to gain management. In three separate statements to myMYM, Jimmy 'DeMoN' Ho, Clement 'Puppey' Ivanov and James 'blackfrog' Larsen gave their feedback to the recent recruitment.

In a statement from Jimmy 'DeMoN' Ho:

"We are glad to announce our new sponsor Blight.Int! I'm very happy to be part of the Blight family, and with their support we'll be able to transcend and become and even better team at an international level."

In a statement from Clement 'Puppey' Ivanov:

"I am more than welcome to be accepted by this generous sponsor and predicting a very nice long stay in this organization. Hoping to succeed the best achievements and create a famous strong name for Blight in the DotA community. Thank you everyone who have been supporting us from the beggining."

In a statement from James 'blackfrog' Larsen:

"In an effort to inprove the dota scene Demon approached us, about his team after speaking with him and his team for several hours, I can tell they would represent blight well, not having been to a LAN in nearly a year we be honored to start sending them around, blight.INT will be also giving away lessons announcing who wins them on the 20th, so if you haven't signed up yet still should, for both our dota teams."

Unfortunately, former BFB player Pelle 'Pajkatt' Olsson-Lille cannot continue his road with the new team and has left the roster by his terms.

Roster:
Clement 'Puppey' Ivanov
Kuro 'KuroKy' Salehi Takhasomi
Clinton 'Fear' Loomis
Ben 'Merlini' Wu
Jimmy 'DeMoN' Ho
Amar 'AmarTnT' Hassan

Blight.Int is expected to continue its performance in the upcoming F4F Second Blood #3 Bracket, with rankings surpassing Fnatic and seconded to MYM.

Blight gaming is the most fail organization in the world, they have picked up every division you can think of including Blight.MX (A Mexican CS team) I am waiting for them to announce a runescape team. Run by a couple of 15 year olds, http://blightgaming.com/admin/uploads/931495459_ldfgfdg2.jpg its only a matter of time before all their promises are never fulfilled and all of their teams leave.

They even had the urge to use plagiarism and copy Team Pandemics "About" information, almost word for word as they were to stupid to change somethings around.

Can't believe there is even news about them on SK-Gaming.

Yuck

Blight isn't acctually sponsoring the Mexican team with anything at all as far as I know. It's just the name. It also allows more people to see the name 'Blight Gaming' which means there name will spread quicker.
Crack clan did the same thing and Fnatic also does this with there "Fnatic Academy".
Stop being so angry :-\
