In other player news, Lazarus Gaming has disbanded. The press release is citing business and time issues with the manager Noah Lazarus. That means there are a number of good players fresh for the picking such as PainUser, Inka, Agh, and Zelniq.
In the game itself, Patch 1.3.3 is now live. This patch makes quite a few changes, but the main change was the Warpgate timing increase. Check out the patch notes and be prepared for a few changes.
