By that he means that COF was the center of TOFU sorta like Benga with OSA, etc. He is not saying COF was the only good player in TOFU, because we all know that is not true. Did losing COF hurt? Sure, but TOFU is strong and will press on. Can COF be replaced? Likely never. If you cut him open he would bleed out TOFU!
Now there's a statement I can wholeheartedly agree with. In my life I've never met someone as dedicated as CoF is. The fact that he is a brilliant strategist is a big loss for us, but it is the leadership and unmeasurable dedication that is the heart of the issue. It was an honor.

Loes, Sjnap, DentheFrog, niMic, JaneAusten, Merch313, Drunkmonkey and Big Yuma Ripper. Those are the names off the top of my head. I am sure TOFU could say the same. While I am happy we(KORT) have the lead I do not think anybody within KORT is going to lax up, because we all know how quick TOFU can come back on us.
Been a good war so far
Yeah, in an online game, over the course of 18 months, having a turnover of players is rather the rule than the exception for most clans i fear. Not only that, times change and not everyone has the time to play at capacity. I think of legends like Iron Maid, L M S, Knight2254 & Master Fenrir, who I wish to god had the time to play 15 games each. But most of all those that have left us like Big Whiskey, cachejob, comic boy, Seulessliathan, and ofc Chariot of Fire.
As time roles on the older generation of active CC legends will shrink. And some will look at a clan, and when they do not see names like Sjnap or Big Whiskey, they won't be as impressed. They would of course be wrong
New stars have continued to be shaped over the years, and the top clans have continued to recruit them. As someone who has a huge interest in history, I have to force myself at times, to think in terms of renewal and constant change instead of looking back. But even I can see that having fresh eager rising stars to compliment the slightly weary legends is a good thing
I'm having fun, more so than last time. I look forward to some more games!
Cheers KORT, see ya out there.
