SearchTemplars of Twilight comes to an end
Posted by Patrik "Raistlin" Hellstrand 1 year ago
Christoph "Mondragon" Semke has announced the laydown of Templars of Twilight. After 12 years, the European-based clan calls it a day.Among their list of achievements we find ten BWCL titles, four WGTCL titles and eight iCCup CLan League top 3 placements.
Some of their most influential players throughout the years are Christoph "Mondragon" Semke, Nick "Testie" Perentesis, Fredrik "TreK" Nelson, David "SquaLL" Saez, Eivind "Eriador" Leknes and Sherwin "Yosh" Mahbod.
- "Since ToT never had any real sponsors in terms of cash sponsorships it became harder and harder the more time passed to make members stay or attract new ones because ToT’s reputation was not enough anymore if you can earn a decent amount of money in other clans." writes Mondragon in the closing statement on ToT-Gaming.com.
- "Big eSports organisations launched Brood War squads and after years of trying, MYM finally overtook ToT in leagues and rankings. In the end money always wins – that is the rule of the world. But unlike money, we were friends in ToT. We had the best possible atmosphere a clan can have while still being successful and I do not think that any sponsored clan can ever have such a great atmosphere," writes Mondragon.
Patrik "Raistlin" Hellstrand, GosuGamers.net head admin:
“It has been a pleasure following Templars of Twilight throughout the years of StarCraft. Christoph, Nick, David, Rafal, Petra - only to mention a few - have all been professional and easy to work with. With a more financially focused scene today, a constellation such as Templars of Twilight will be most unlikely to see again.
For me, ToT was a team that was bound together by friendship and common interests, not money. I hope that GosuGamers, or me personally, will cross paths with any of the Templars of Twilight players in the upcoming future. For me you will always be ToT, no matter your prefix.
I would also like to give an extra shoutout to Tobias "ZpuX" Nilsson and Fredrik "TreK" Nelson who I've had the priviledge of meeting in real life numerous times. It was always a pleasure to work with you guys, administer tournaments you were in or just to chat and laugh.”
