Team Fate.CoD4 takes 2nd place in the 2008 GigabitsLAN in Orlando Florida.
Fate gets put into the lower bracket from the first match, dominating that bracket
they meet up with Team Radiance for the second time in the championship round
securing 2nd place with that loss on mp_backlot. This is the second LAN that Fate
has attended in its second game with a great turn-out. 2008 is shaping up to be
the year that Fate North America officially goes pro. We are actively seeking
sponsor support to allow us to push even further into professional eSports and
show what "Dedication, Distinction and Win" can do.

Team Fate takes 4th ($1,000) in the QuakeCon 2008 ETQW 6v6
PC Tourney. Day 1 got off to a slow start with most if not all of
the tourney PC's having voip issues. Our first match got rescheduled
for the fallowing morning @ 7:30am, we were able to pull our asses out
of bed and take our first win 4-0, later that night we got our second win
4-0.

Day 2 we started again with a win, 4-0. So now we are 3-0 overall and feeling
great. Then we faced off against the Euro team Kompaniet, not as prepared
as we could have been we took our first loss. Day 3, we faced off against H2O,
a NA team we are all too familiar with. Again, the more prepared team won,
taking our second and final loss (Double elim bracket). Taking this as a
learning experience, we are much stronger because of it.

On the bright side, that freed up some time for us to reflect and discuss the
dynamics of our team and the future of Team Fate. Overall it was a fantastic
event that brought our team together even more.

The lineup for this event was-

The newly formed North American CoD4 team has been working hard.

The NA Fate.CoD4 team started CAL s2 late and had to pull in some pick
up matches to be able to make finals, which they were able to do. Considering
the time it takes to build chemistry in a fresh roster this is great news. This
shows some amazing potential for the upcoming GigabitsLan in Orlando Florida August 16th.
