INFERNAL GAMERS WAS FOUNDED IN THE BEGINNING OF 2003 by iG.shun and iG.Sgravo right after clan LsD. died. Back then, in the beginning the only actually good player was iG.Assem, who later on moved to Korea to become a professional gamer. "iG.Sgravo didnt really run the clan that good, actually... He totally blew it! He became very desperate with the lack of good players, so he started to promise people money if they played for iG." iG.newHABIT explains, co-writer of this article. But later on, as time went by, the players started to demand their money which they were promised, no money came. Sgravo was lying straight in their gaming faces. After a while, iG.BingBong also a active player in iG. was re-elected for the new clanleader, which made Sgravo furious so he resetted the team at WGTour and none has seen him since then. BingBong went on being very manner and recruiting good players without the money promises that Sgravo had done; which caused iG. to get a very VERY bad reputation within the gaming community.
WHILE THIS WAS GOING ON, IN 2003, IG. HAD ACTUALLY accomplished some goals they had set up, iG.reason ( V-Gundam ) won the WSL tournament against YellOw in the finals, 3-0 was the score. Gundam later then didnt do much more for iG. for the time being, since the money promised to him, was never to be recieved; he only got money from the WSL victory and none from Sgravo.
IG.ZELIAS WENT TO THE WORLD CYBER GAMES AND DID pretty well over in Korea, he was in Group G which consisted of the following players; Cameleon, Cafone, Zelias, Carls, Aspeak, Sktb and Gerich. Zelias did relatively well, finishing second in his group, Gerich taking the number one spot; Zelias then faced SuKeR in the playoffs! That game ended quickly with a 2-0 victory for SuKeR. After the WCG, alot of players started questioning Sgravo about him not paying his players. It resulted with them many of them leaving, one by one. This put iG.'s in alot of trouble and the reputation sank dramatically. Since Infernal Gamers was a part of Play.iT, we also shared our webpage, since it was a section like many others in the Play.iT organisation. Though when this happened, they decided to make iG. an independent team, that would have nothing to do with Play.iT considering iG's reputation.

iG.Fever has from that time until today created 3 different websites and he is also a active WGTour admin. iG. has alot of things to thank this French fellow for! And indeed he is one of the best people you can find on Battle.net.NOW WHEN IG. WAS UP AND RUNNING ONCE AGAIN, playing WGTour and recruiting wildly, they encountered some of the old reputations and it struck them hard. Good thing BinGBonG is the person he is, he kept the team together and made everyone think about the current instead of the past. That's what a clanleader is supposed to do, keep the team going and bring them both joy and challenges.
IN THE MIDDLE OF 2004 IG.NEWHABIT JOINED as a new recruiter for the iG. team, it was his way to help BingBong take a little rest from his 2 years struggling with a team he was so in love with. Another cold shower hit BingBong, 3 players left and iG.Smeagol was caught hacking. That was one of the hardest blows the team ever faced, but they still managed to stand togheter. In the same time. iG.reason came back under the nick iG.joe and several other players joined the team aswell, such as GyuL_NamoO, ByuL_NamoO, and Escape[s2]. With WanChul being in the military didn't really stop him from playing on his free weekends for the team.
WHEN WCG 2004 WAS ABOUT TO ENTER ITS QUALIFYING STAGES, alot of iG. players did their best and iG.Master was the one who qualified for his country and went to San Fransisco. He got in Group H where both Legionnaire and Grrr... were playing. He ended with a 1-3 score and wasn't able to get further than the group playoffs. After WCG2004 Master took a little break, and so did iG.Odin. The recruitment were still going on and suddenly one day a Norwegian bomb struck the team, it was ErlinG (picture) and Fury who joined iG. iG.Fury being a old member who had been playing the Nordic WCG in Stockholm Sweden had also had a little break from WCG just like Master, though ErlinG was a real suprise for some, he is a very good terran gamer and considered to have one of the top TvZ in Europe. When this top recruitment was finished, another bomb struck us aswell. This time with a Swedish adress! It was former MgZ)KaaZ AKA KaaZ(TE) who joined iG. and now plays under the nick iG.KaaZ. Additionally, the hand grenade iG.Crack, previously a member of (TE) joined at about the same time.
WELL, AFTER THIS TIME OF HAPPINESS AND JOY, EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL, open recruitment for those last spots in the team and players were tested and later on kicked since they didnt keep up with the iG. team. Then another player arrived, telling us he would like to be a Infernal Gamer, and this boy was called Clawson(TE)! Clawson, who won the Finnish WCG and also went to San Fransisco. He got placed in Group F with players like YioSen[Rush], Shweq, LG)Darki. He only lost against YioSen and he went on to the 32 player Playoffs. There he had to meet up with Android_3d which he lost 0:2.
