| Z presenetvljivo potezo, se je evropska CoD4 ekipa SPEED-LINK odločila, da se bo ločila od nemške organizacije. V uradni razglasitvi se je ekipa želela dokazati, ampak ker se LANi hitro približujejo je postalo očitno da jih SPEED-LINK ne bo mogel poslati na The Experience in Multiplayev i37.

Bivša SPEED-LINK postavitev, ki z dodanim Chrisom 'nreo' Meadom, Davyem 'Davy' Sysmansom in Ralphom 'qwertYYY' Balderjem na koncu Aprila, bo nadaljevala svojo igralno kariero pod 4 and a half man imenom.
Z to razglasitvijo je ekipa tudi uradno v svoje vrste vzela bivšega The Imperial in zeroPoint! Igralca Johnya 'Johny' Smitha, ki bo ekipo dopolnil kot pomožni igralec in kot postavitev na ESL Pro Series, saj morajo biti najmanj trije igralci angleškega rodu.
Trenutna postavitev:
Daniel "L-KiNG" Luther
Ryan "dUffER" Duffy
Ralph "qwertYYY" Balder
Davy "Davy" Sysmans
Chris "nreo" Mead
Jonny "Jonny" Smith (back-up)
Joshua "twrs" Towers (manager)
Izjava Chrisa 'nreo' Meada:
"Before people jump on the 'there they go again' band wagon I would like to make a few points. We've been fully aware of our organization 'hopping' reputation but I'd like for people to see this is as a new team. On behalf of myself, I never came out to comment or defend our previous actions as I didn't deem it necessary - I was personally, as were others, embarrassed. But with this new team I've recently joined we understood the need to be realistic when considering what we could receive from any organization, especially during the harsh economic climate we find ourselves in.
We placed our faith in SPEED-LINK and were willing to stay if there were any chance they could send us to at least two of the three major summer events. However, it was made clear to us last week that they would not be able to send us to TEX09 or i37. We realized and understood their own difficulties but we feel as a team we can challenge for at least a top3 finish at every event. Professionalism and promoting the organization’s brand are key to us as well as delivering with performances, but quite simply put, we'd just like the chance to be there and prove ourselves at these LANs. We part on good terms and wish SPEED-LINK the best of luck. We hope to see you guys at all the events."
