As many players in the competitive scene have probably heard by now, a new website under the Shack name is in the works. ShackES by Matt Huey aka o|Muiy. As we have decided to accelerate the launch of the page a bit I felt now was as good a time as any to announce it. (and make sure we get it done). ShackES will be dedicated to coverage of the competitive gaming scene. This will start with Quake3 and expand to Counter-Strike shortly after. Then on to other games such at UT etc from there. Since I love blockquote here's a few details:
- Launch date? Hopefully 2 weeks or so but dont hold your breath.
- Comment system etc will be the same as Shack, and share the user database.
- Matt will be doing the majority of content and coverage, Maarten and I will continue to focus on Shugashack.
If you have any questions, Matt is the man with final say on all decisions including staffing, content, etc. If you have any suggestions etc feel free to leave comments and Matt will look them all over.
