But now they have lost another starplayer some might even say their best player : KK. All the interviews at the moment are in Swedish and Danish so its hard to get the real reasons but on fragbite he seems to say he can not keep up the hard practice schedules needed to be one of the best teams.

Someone was kind enough to send us a translation of the interview on XplaYn.com.People will most likely drop their jaw due to you leaving Denmarks biggest international hope, The Titans - Why are you leaving?
I guess most people will be surprised, but it's been comming for some time. I am lacking the will to practise 5 hours a day 5-6 days a week, as well as I feel I have achieved what I set out to do.
Will you be quitting all gaming or will we still see you around waiting for a good offer?
I wont be leaving the community, but I will only attend Danish LAN's along with friends. Main goal is spend less time and have more fun.
What is your best memory of being a Titan?
Our ESWC-victory, but I have been a part of The Titans for quite a while now losing players, adding players ... I feel quite aged in The Titans history, but I do not regret a single thing, as it has probably been the best learning experience in my life so far, both as a player and person.
How will you spend all the spare time usually spent practising?
I have really missed hanging out with friends, as well as I will give my education the attention it deserves. We practise 18-23 which drains you a lot - something I just can't do anymore.
Many think of you as being the most important player in The Titans being the team captain - any idea what the team will do now?
I have called the strats in Titans more or less from the first day I joined the team. They got the 4 best players in Denmark when they are playing their best due to their massive international experience. It will take some time to put together new strategies and decide who shall call them, but I am sure they will go on without me ... They are die hard fighters that does not quit when the going gets tough.
You probably have a few shoutouts, so go ahead
I got a lot and I will probably forget some ... First of all thanks to those who has been a part of The Titans along with myself to give me some of the biggest experiences in my life so far: Arjon, tuff, EraZ, whimp, eGene, Drally, spx, Onsberg, Uku and last but not least calc. It has been a real pleasure playing with all of the team. I do not wnat to hear anything concerning calc and team breaking up as that is not the case. calc has really surprised me in a good way - prejudice is nasty. Thanks to blane for being a real mate!
There is also an interview with the latest recruit calc about KK and the future of The Titans.KK is without a doubt a very important piece of the puzzle, so with him and whimp no longer playing how are things within the team?
We are ok. KK stopping is a culmination of things having been messed up for some time now making him step back from international gaming. KK is a very good player as well as a great strat caller, but people have to remember that the team losing KK today is not the same team which won ESWC 2004. A lot has happended during the last 6-8 months and we're not on the verge of disbanding The Titans.
Any coments on the "OMFG calc killed another team"?
Not really, there will always be less intelligent people around :)
So what does future have in store for The Titans?
We will take a few days to discuss the situation and come up with a plan which might take some time. How people can even think that a team attending WCG Europe, ESWC 2005 and a promo-trip is dieing is something I just can not comprehend.
Evermore has had trouble recruiting Danish quality players - will we see foreing players joining The Titans?
I can not answer that, nor will I omit the possibility of a foreing player. We will go over things and hopefully we will all know more in time.
You seem very calm with a shootout in Forum this weekend and SHG Open comming up next weekend. Any idea how you will replace KK at these events?
The shootout is friday and we will attend with players from Sealand due to scheduling problems. We will be there with Starhydra, Airhead and rubiano (Thanks for helping out guys), but speaking of SHG we haven't made any decissions just yet. To answer your question, yes I'm very calm as I don't feel the need to make a big fuss about it. People should remember all the things KK has done for the team, instead of proclaiming the downfall of The Titans. It's a new era, nothing more to it :)
