Resignation Luckless
This is really hard to do… Ive been debating how to do this for the last week or so and knew that no matter what, it was not going to be easy.
In the time ive been with IPX ive had a lot of fun, I have really enjoyed being part of the team and feel like I owe a large debt to the many awesome players who make up such a great team to be a part of. However, I have recieved an invitation to join S7 and I am sad to say I am going to accept it. I will list my reasons below as honestly as I can.
A) The reason I wanted to get into clan matches was to improve, although s7 is still very young (not even a full team yet) there are some gun players, I think it will improve my game if I can get into a team where the average class of player is higher than my own. This is in no way meant as a knock to the skill level of IPX players, it also has to do with the contacts some of these guys have, in the short time they have been around they have been scriming like crazy, with regular matches against skullz, MaD and other good teams. As you may or may not be aware there are several members of s7 who are members of other clans simply helping s7 (there aligence lies with their original clans but they are helping s7 to become better) and this is also very useful.
B) I think the league is in desperate need of new clans. As it stands there are several clans (including IPX) who have many members, so many that many never get a shot at a comp game. I feel that by joining an up and coming clan I can help build the community while also giving some of IPX new players (such as Robag and CombatChuck who have been very active on pubs) a chance to play in league games.
C) I often play late at night, as a result I dont get as much game time in pubs with IPX players as I would like to. I think it makes sence the guys I play the most with are the guys I join in a clan.
I really hope this is not an insult to IPX (thats the last thing I want), rather I hope that I can retain close contact with you guys. I will be pestering Tyusoi for scrims with you guys. I also hope that you guys continue to say hello when playing on pubs and invite me into your fireteams from time to time to say hello. Please know that I deliberately waited untill the end of our season to make this move, I had no intention of leaving IPX while still in the ladder. As I am not sure what happens to my friends list and such when I change, I hope that those of you who are on my friends list or would like to be, take time to add me, or accept my invites when I add you.
Once again this is a very sad farewell for me, I have enjoyed my time with IPX and will always hold fond memories of it.
All the best and good luck next season guys.
