The well-known Russian StarCraft team GoodGame.ru, which has played as RoX.KiS.SC has made the decision to halt its activities.The StarCraft powerhouse, RoX.KiS, has decided to retire from online leagues such as the World Gaming Tour Clan League and the International Cyber Cup Clan League. The team is well-known for defeating the biggest names of the StarCraft scene outside of South Korea, such as ToT, mousesports, Fnatic, and has made itself a very respected name. Fans were always waiting for new matchs from these Western European beasts to enjoy high-quality games played by RoX's famous players such as BRAT_OK, Fraer, DIMAGA, Advokate.
You should ask, why? Why is such a powerful team stopping its online activities? Unfortunately, some of its players have been caught abusing during TSL. TeamLiquid built up this great competition with a strong value of honesty and fifteen players were caught and disqualified for abuse in the TSL ladder stage. The list contains many respected and trusted names that really desappointed the community, to have such a scandal in a 20,000 USD event. The point that linked this cheating trouble and RoX.KiS is that five of the abusers were playing for the organization. With TeamLiquid, iCCup, WGTout and GosuGamers banning them, the team lost five of its best and active members.
Anyways, RoX.KiS won't entirely close its door and will still be active in the StarCraft scene, participating to some events. This isn't the only point that caused the team's decision, but also a lack of motivation.

"Welcome all fans of cybersport StarCraft: Brood War and team RoX.KIS.SC.
You have probably already noticed that something incomprehensible recently happenned to our team. Some of the reasons are that our results were more than modest and inconsistent with our standards.
Our team has always been open to fans and to the community. Our players are glad to communicate with their fans, you can often see the material on our team on the main page of many websites. We are pleased to share with you our replays and VODs. We value our fans, but many of them turned their backs on us after the events of TSL2. It is common for people to make mistakes, and we recognize that our players were wrong, but the punishment that was applyed on us, - is too harsh and is not commensurated with our transgressions. We did not use any banned programs, and played fairly each game. Alas, no one was listening to us, and many of our players have been banned without any trials. Since then, many of us have lost the motivation to play StarCraft.
We have to report that our team RoX.KIS.SC is off the online leagues (iCCupCL and WGTour). After such a relationship of community, players and team management do not see prospects to participate to those tournaments. We wasted on them too much of our time, but received little use for it. The effect of successful performances is even close to zero.
Clanwar - is an explosion of emotion, when two teams meet to determine who is stronger. We have received every possible emotion. First and foremost, a victory over some teams such as TOT, MGZ-Excello, MYM-Mouz, Fnatic-DB. In an additionnal emotions, we have passed a kinf of a school and have got the knowledge and experience. Now we do not get it. There is no need to repeat a grade in school or pass a test again, for which you received a 5 -, you need to go further.
Almost all of our players are actively studying and / or working, engaged in sports or something else. They need to free up some time for themselves and their families. We do not leave StarCraft. We love this game. We will take part in those tournaments where we can express ourselves, where there is development.
Team RoX.KIS - is a team of friends, where we all know each other in real life. Those who communicate with each other, go beyond the game. For leagues, we have tried to attract foreign players, but their behavior and greed really upset us. We decided that it was better not to play through force. We do not need it, and fans aren't also particular about it.
Especially, we want to thank the teams, we played with: thank you for the battles, for the experience we have acquired.
Thanks to the management of ICCUP Clan League and WGTL for having organized these tournaments. League - is a motivational ladder, and it helped a lot of people. But we would like to wish that you didn't not stop at what you've achieved and worked on development of projects.
Thanks to the community, which supported us. Those for whom we have tried: goodgame.ru, reps.ru, sc2tv.ru, gosugamers.net.
We also say a special thank to RoX.Arrow for his support and wish him more strength to fight the disease."
