As of this week Xeria Gaming is no more. The players have already found a home which I am sure will be announced soon, I will leave that up to them. I will not be joining this new team. Some of you may have noticed I have been absent from the Starcraft community recently, and this will continue. I will hopefully still see you at events as we continue to grow Australian eSports together.
Just a quick thanks to all the people that have helped make this team something special. Thank you Mafia, Light, JazBas, iaguz, Poker, Myuu, Bielsko, delete, Satu, Stallion, KingKong, Eddie and especially Arnor.
I thank you for all the support you have given the team over the last 2 years as well as support for the xGTL. When we created the team it was to give the players some support, as there were very few positions before. Now there are many organizations contributing to the scene, and it feels good knowing that we had a small part to play in this. Thank you.
xG was a good team and benji was a good manager. I enjoyed my year with them, it was a very positive experience. Benji and Arnor supported us a ton and there was a lot of passion all round.
Goodluck to satu, KK, poker and myuu in wherever they end up. And good luck to benji in his fancy Riot job (though **** League honestly jesus christ such a bad game)

Sad to see, what was one of the first teams for SC2 in Australia come to a close. Your contributions have been great, many people might not see eye to eye with you, but when you are actually doing something, there is always someone that would do it differently. But at least you did something!.. if that makes sense?
Good luck with Riot, I was wondering what would happen to xG - as it seemed hard for you to keep up with them and your new job. Best of luck to the xG guys as they find a new home.
xG has been an awesome part of my life in esports, Benji came to me over 2 years ago with the idea to create a sponsored team to support the talented players of nGen (and iaguz), Ive got many fond memories of xG skype chats with Light, Mafia,Jazbas, iaguz and Benji, awesome guys and while they all had since left for greener pastures I thank them for there time and hope we remain mates and continue to hang out at Barcrafts and ACLs.
Next came Myuu, Poker and Bielsko the "B Teamers" ironic because they were always viewed as A team, These 3 players are extremely talented, while Bielsko's stay was short Myuu and Poker grew as players, delete, Stallion, Satu and Eddie came next, all of them awesome guys. Thanks for the memories also dude (LoL > dota2). Finally KingKong, easily the nicest guy Ive ever met, the more I get to know him the more I begin to appreciate and respect his goals to establishing a life for himself in Australia (he is also insanely funny as the xG and fray boys can attest to!)
Spending this weekend with the Zerg Boys has really helped us grow closer as a unit, I hope to continue this moving forward in our new adventure.
Thanks to all the players over the years, Benji and I had a dream to shake up the starcraft scene, and point the finger directly at the major Aus orgs to start taking an interest in SCII, while I am not naive to think we were the main reason behind the array of teams crossing the pond, If we has even the slightest influence then I feel it was a job well done. Shout out to Benji, his passion for esports is top 3 Aus, hope to see you at barcrafts and mobars soon!
A special thanks to our sponsors as well
Plantronics who gave us Headsets, V for supporting us with more V Energy Drink then we could ever possibly want (and for those that know me and benji, thats alot of Blue V!) Kingston for the product and the $$$ that helped our players travel both interstate and overseas and finally City Hunter, who supported us with all the sponsorship arrangements, who ran 13 Starcraft Competitions over the last 2 years, their continued support for Starcraft in NSW no doubt played part of the role of making NSW the hub on SCII in Aus (until 1/2 the boys retired that is ). Thanks for everything!
