By: Luis Mira - Published July 13, 2008 at 7:40 AM EDT - Writer Archive
Man1a Gaming has decided to change its name to iNNERFiRE.
The Bulgarian team, who won the local EPS league, is now part of an organisation registered as a sports club and member of the Bulgarian federation for computer and console sports.

The team has also revealed a new main sponsor, Airbites, a group of telecommunications companies that provides Internet service in Central and Eastern Europe.

Airbites is also known for hosting the biggest Counter-Strike tournament ever in Bulgaria - Airbites Gaming League. This league has a total prize purse of €5,000 and its finals will take place in November.

“We’re extremely happy for the support our new sponsor is providing us with. With the change of the legal status to a sports club and the new sponsorship deal with Airbites, we have made our largest leap since the very beginning," said Martin "NEpo" Gerchev.

"From now on, we will be able to attend the tournaments we consider important for us, which is the only way up. We believe we have all the ingredients needed for a successful esports team."

INNERFiRE will attend the GameGune event, which will take place from July 25th-27th in Bilbao, Spain, as well as the Extreme Masters season III qualifier.

The iNNERFiRE team is the following:

Bulgaria Bojidar "KANARKO" Iliev
Bulgaria Hristiqn "Hr1stIQN" Spasov
Bulgaria Dimitar "DSI" Iglikin
Bulgaria Velin "masalito" Velinov
Bulgaria Borislav "kiril" Pekin
