O site dos SK-Gaming foi ao encontro do manager dos M19, Fidel “Yesy” Lang, para entender de uma forma mais clarificada a situação da equipa:


“First of all let me introduce myself: my name is Fidel “Yesy” Lang, and I am the manager of M19’s Counter-Strike squad. In the beginning, our squad was formed in 2001 by highly skilled players with great potential. Since then we have been fully supported all the way by the M19 Internet Café. The golden times for M19 were in 2002 when we won the World Cyber Games in Korea. After that the team had many other victories, but the management was getting lazier day by day, and the team was getting more and more neglected. As a result of this situation, the management left the organization in 2004, and some players went inactive or decided to play for other teams. As you may have heard M19.CS decided to split up at that time. In January 2005 I announced that we’d gone active again, and since then we started training hardcore, competing at many Lan events (ASUS CUP, CPL Istanbul) and online cups (CB Eurocup). We were aquiring sponsors and supporters again, but it just wasn’t enough.

Because of the financial problems we couldn’t give the players what they needed and x4team offered them more. Four old-school players of M19 are together again with this lineup: Nook, 400kg, Rid3r(inactive), g1rla, Dant1k, rAdik(Rado). I’ve never seen a team with such skill and cool as x4. These guys have to be respected for what they’ve achieved during their Counter-Strike Career. We wish them good luck in the future, and hope they will rock together as before. I can’t really say what will happen now, so just stay tuned and it will be announced soon!”
