Stanislav tAnK Fedoseyev revealed details of the situation with the es4x tag, under which the composition Denis Seized Kostina plans to perform on qualifications for ESL One Rio 2023. In a comment for Cybersport.ru, Fedoseyev said that for six months now he has been playing under this name in leagues on FACEIT and ESEA. In 2011-2013, he presented the original es4x roster (team stats at HLTV.org) by Counter-Strike.

“This tag was passed to me by Cooba, who was the captain and founder of es4x. Since 2008, this tag has belonged to him. He gave me the reins of government by that name. After the collapse of the original squad, all the subsequent tournaments in mixes and teams I played under es4x, and this tag is associated with me. In 2011, I played with players such as Alexey Hondroz Zubkov and Eugene Cold Sidorin, who were of great importance to the organization.
Today I woke up and was bombarded with news that seized created a roster called es4x. I don’t know how we will simultaneously participate in tournaments under one tag, because this tag has been spinning for the last six months in all qualifying tournaments, and recently we won one of the ESEA tournaments, where we were promoted to a higher division. As the saying goes, “raise the tag from dirt to riches”, if I may say so. I hope that Denis seized Kostin made this statement without realizing that there is already a lineup acting under such a tag.
Information has appeared on all portals that seized and the company are in search of organizations and sponsors. For a successful search, you could take not only the name es4x, but also other great tags, for example, 88-gaming, hiGhTiME, IronWill, Independent, USSRx, GRAND, TRAP, and, of course, fbGaming. Well and so on. I hope this doesn’t work in eSports – I take what I want. Well, then how it goes (laughs). “
According to Fedoseyev, seized did not advocate for the original es4x roster. The club’s name is not officially registered.
“I did not register the es4x tag. Now is the year 2023, and every second person can register this name for themselves, without particularly asking for my opinion. I believe that taking legendary tags for yourself, you need to respect people who have made this tag a name for their victories.
I didn’t think that there could be such a stir around the tag. I had suggestions regarding the sale of the name, but I refused, because it is part of my past. For me, tag selling is associated with betrayal. Maybe I’m too hard on myself (laughs).
When I abandoned the game in 2013, the announcement of es4x roster took place in CS: GO. Plus AERO has every right, because he participated in the creation of es4x, was in one of the compositions. I don’t remember that Denis Seized Kostin had anything to do with the tag, with the es4x team. ”
In 2017, a similar situation arose with the M19 tag – the players of the original roster were against using the tag, under which they spoke without registering a trademark. Then the club owner declaredthat it is “a new organization with new people, which is simply the heir to the old.” You can find out the collective opinion about this situation. link.
