Texas Area Untouchables is "chaning [sic] gears," with their active roster either quitting the clan, quitting CS, or quitting professional gaming. What this really means is that TAU as a competitive CS clan is dead and about half of their active members will move on to other CAL-I clans.
The fallout comes after last night's CAL-I playoff loss to Riot Squad, TAU's biggest rival.[break="more information"]TAU's leader, beavis007, posted the following message to SoGamed, announcing the departure of TAU from competitive CS.

Well I am very sad to announce, that over a year and a half of hard work, dedication, fun, and friendship is now all gone. Tonight, most of the active TAU roster has called it quits with the team and have decided to move on. It was tons of fun while it lasted, but now its all over. I would like to thank everyone who has supported us through thick and thin, and those who have too worked through these difficulties. Thank you again to CPL, CAL, Frank Nuccio, and espically Paul Drew for starting it all. Great GamesGamers.nu has conducted a short Q&A with beavis007 (registration required). Here's my favorite tidbit:
As each change has been implemented via patches do you think counter-strike has overall evolved into a better game or do you think some of the changes have detracted from the real fun of the game?Ironic that he says that. The only motivation to being in a CPL-level clan that competes in a game you don't enjoy would be $$$. It was all over from there.
I think Counter-Strike has become one of the lamest games around. I think that is also why you see a majority of the true old school players inactive. Once the game was sold out to a big company with $$$ in their eyes it was over from there.
