After several years spent among the most recognized teams of the Trackmania scene, the eXtensive multigaming loses its line-up on Trackmania. This decision was taken by the players after a difficult period for their team since the last season of the ESL Premiership.

EXtensive! is now actively in search of a new line-up on TM in order to fill this gap.

The former captain of the team, Exarkun, has left a testimonial about the end of this team.


Exarkun :
"I am not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it comes.
Woody Allen

Indeed, one day between two trips and it’s the end. In this wet Saturday evening I officially announce the death of eXtensive! as you once knew it. I say so because Leakim, who just rebirthed the eXtensive multigaming, is trying to create a TM squad (I wish him good luck for his projects).

I don’t really know what to say about this breaking up. For those who used to follow our team or just follow the news about TM, you must have noticed that our last ESL season was a total fiasco. Beginning the season aiming at the L1 and finishing 9th out of 10 is quite hard. Despite a large number of players, the lack of motivation of the key players, the increase of missing players and the tough exam period turned out to be the main reasons of our fall and a lot of players left the team (Alex, Henry, clown, Nor…).

The ned of hope is the beginning of death.
General De Gaulle

I know I bother you with my quotations but I find that this one was at the right place and characterized very well the spirit of the team at that moment.

After that we wanted to participate in the TmT but we were too few, so we played it with mgk and even if our matches were not so bad, the motivation kept on hiding.
TseTse had to leave us for personnal reasons, Xen because he didn’t have the motivation or the envy to stay playing and Enzo who didn’t have the time nor the motivation to invest so much in the game.
By losing these three key players, who were here since the beginning (Xen and TseTse for more than 2 years and a half), we felt it was the end but none of us wanted to believe it.

Because of the start of the ESL PSVI in the next weeks, we had to make a meeting to see where we are, and no solution appeared to be realistic except the breaking up.

I close the doors of the team with a lot of sadness, even if I regret absolutely nothing and I start to enjoy the nostalgia of all the happy memories spent with the team.
If I had to find a characteristic of the team I feel proud of, it’s the fact that we started from nothing : 5 players (TseTse, Max, Xen, Ganply and me) meeting by chance in an unknown team and going up through the ranks to finish in the top3 fr. It’s a good example that everything is possible if you have the according willpower.

I thank all the people who were once in the team, all those who spent a little of their time to make it nicer and stronger and allowed the team to live so many happy moments. The IRL meetings I had the opportunity to attent to within this game are unforgivable memories, just for that I congratulate myself to have downloaded TM one day.
I do not count all the moments with high and intense emotion the game gave to me, during the victories and the defeats of the team.
I just have one word to add to this paragraph:  Thanks.

And I wish good luck to all those who continue, especially to my two favourites canadian players: mael and Carl ;)"
