WE replaces NiP at NGL-One
The finals of the first season of NGL-One, which SK Gaming finished on second place after Meet Your Makers, have just ended and the preparations for the next season are already running. The first announcement for the upcoming season is that the team World Elite will get a spot without playing the qualification as they will replace NiP.
A few weeks ago, rumors about NiP said that the team might disband as the clan didn't prolong their players contracts, which seems to become true more and more. World Elite had a strong stand-in in the international competition with a fourth place in the last WC3L season and will hopefully be an adequate replacement.
Statement by WE^HoTLiPs:
The grand finals of the first NGL-One season are just over and the best Warcraft and Counter-Strike teams have battled for first place and a lot of prize money as well. But every fan of Warcraft III has probably noticed that one of the leading teams was missing; it was of course the asian team World Elite. Therefore I am glad to announce that we will take part in the upcoming season of NGL-One with the goal to attend the next finals. Actually we are lucky because we can take over the spot of NIP and don“t need to play the qualification which was definitely a main-reason for our decision. I also would like to announce that our very own european team will play the qualification for the second season and hopefully they will qualify successful. I want to thank Khaldor for his help and I am looking forward to experience a very tough and exciting season with a strong performace of our two teams.

this should seal the rumors, as NiP won't play with the current line up anymore...
otherwise, they would not have to give p their spot
totally crap to give them an auto-berth!
they did invite 3/4 of the league, as they were the best....
bit biased it is, but w00t'cha wanna do?
Come on, be a bit more humble next time :)
if a team withdraws, then there should be another qualifying spot, why does it automatically go to WE?
always interesting to hear/read stuff regarding my team without my knowledge.
even though they won't get payed etc ?
anyway owned
Edit: Anyway even holding a qualifiers would have been a pointless ritual. WE would have just mopped the floor with any competition.Come on Sky, Soju, ReMind, Lyn ,Check , TeD etc. aint gonna lose to some random team...
#16 agree that they should go through qualification
interesting what happens to nip...
Who can tell me?Taht's really a joke.
Youre absolutely right!
In fact, lets stop playing tournaments like incup too, just put all of the wc3l-players name in a big jar, draw a name and give him the price, the actual grid is a waste of time.
flame me sideways.
I think the european Team of WE.IGE will not finish the Qualification successfully because the only name in the new team is Didi8. Sure Shocker or Diesel are good too but i dont think they can beat other teams. World Elit.Asia is my favorite for the next season. With TeD and Lyn they have good chances to finish the next season with place 3 or 2. When Sky is in good form and TED and Lyn too they have really good chances. So.....WORLD ELITE FIGHTING!
