Saints Join Section 8



The UbS Saints team has joined the new Multi Gaming Organisation (MGO), Section 8.

The team, which developed a bit of a reputation for failing to live up to its potential, has injected new life and talent into the team with the hope of taking home some titles in 2010.

Luca “Robohobo” Tucconi says the team decided to move out from UbS because some of the new players did not want to be restricted by UbS clan rules, such as having to look internally for replacement players before looking outside the clan.

“However, the UbS players will remain in the clan, playing socially and going to UbS events,” he says.

It’s a new look team. Tucconi points out the Saints team was older, with Tucconi being the youngest in the team, but that’s changed quite a bit now with three players being 18 or younger.

The lineup:


  • Luca “Robohobo” Tucconi
  • Emile “GG” Haughton
  • Max 'fAiTh' Mclaughlin
  • Jayden 'PhaTNooB' Schröder
  • Mike 'Sw1tch' Eden


What’s interesting about the team is that it picks up Eden (former Saints) again and Mclaughlin, formerly of Brazen. Schröder played for defunct clan Avatar at rAge while Haughton recently joined UbS after being a stalwart at Cyborgs and Fubar (both teams have disbanded).

Tucconi thinks the injection of young blood will make huge difference. Obviously the likes of Mclaughlin bring a lot of experience from his Brazen days and then the team has the experience of Haughton, who will be calling in-game, while Tucconi will manage the team.

“We joined Section 8 to be part of a big MGO with players from other games who are the best at what they do. We hope to live up to the name,” Tucconi says.

The team is looking for a top four finish in the first leg of the Do Gaming Online League 2010 in CoD4, and a top two finish in the second leg, with the goal of winning the Telkom Do Gaming LAN Championship 2010 in CoD4.

The team played Bravado (formerly Brazen) last night and lost 10 – 13. While it was only a friendly, Tucconi says it is good to be competitive about it anyway.

Tucconi believes that apart from the big MGOs, BFB Lard, Super Nova and Ubs EN could also be highly competitive in CoD4 this year.

nopes.... we didnt get the memo AT ALL... seems a little "off" to me?

well played on giving ubs the finger guys... o well. to the ubs members.. mebbe you guys should just leave ubs and join s8 full time?

at liver... well bar the concerned members... dont think anyone else in ubs got the memo. gg wp.

phatnoob used to be in ubs no wonder they dont "like" the rules... rules state once you were in ubs and you elave you cant come back without a major vote.. and phatnoob has zero chance of coming back in

Wow. Wonder if UbSers will be staying at Robo's house next time they are all in Cape Town?! Seems to be a pretty heated situation. Think the guys just wanted a chance to be competitive this year?

Maybe its best for the clan not flame it up here in public and instead have a normal chat about it in private? Span-x you agree, cause i really cant see this helping anything or anybody...

I'd just like to add in my 2c, that being that I think that it is fantastic that Luca (and glitteR) has joined Sec8.

They are trying to be competitive and I am really impressed that Luca is finally ( <3) realising the huge amount of potential he has. I would really be suprised if this team does not take some #1 or #2 positions this year.

Good luck!
