Turkish cybersportsman Ozgur «woxic» Eker announced the creation of a new project – team Eternal Fire, which will be composed of Turkish cybersportsmen who have already managed to prove themselves on the professional scene. One of them will be Issa «ISSAA» Murad, who woxic used to play with in HellRaisers. Also moving to Eternal Fire will be Ismailkan «XANTARES» Dortkardes, Bugra «Calyx» Arkin and Ömer «imoRR» Karatas, who are among the top Turkish cyber athletes. The players plan to communicate during matches in Turkish, but will use English for some time. This will no longer be necessary in the future, as ISSAA is currently already learning Turkish.
The creation of Eternal Fire has been discussed since at least the beginning of the summer, when woxic announced that it was going to return to professional performances with a five-man roster. Initially, they tried to find financial support from a cybersports organization, but in the end they decided to act as an independent project, existing on the funds of the players themselves. After XANTARES, imoRR and ISSAA became free of contractual obligations to their previous teams, the band was able to officially announce the formation of Eternal Fire. Its coach will be Timur «bishop» Sengyul, and the functions of in-game leader will be taken by XANTARES, who is the oldest among the participants.
