Luke Cotton gave the following statement:

 After spending over a year working on Epsilon, it was going to have to take a very special offer to tempt me into working for another organization as it was not something I was looking to do. However after speaking with both Glen and Marek over the past few months, and knowing them from playing for cc// at i31, it became clear that Crack would be the perfect place for me to advance my eSports management career and enable me to dedicate myself to running a professional organization to the best of my ability. Crack offers a certain stability that was not present in Epsilon, as well as excellent financial backing which will enable us to send our players and staff to every major LAN event. A key part of my decision was the presence of not only English speaking management who are dedicated to the team but also of having a fixed base in Brighton. I am particularly pleased to be working again with Marc and the rest of the former Epsilon CounterStrike: Source team after our fantastic experience at The-eXperience in Denmark which I hope to replicate. I would like to thank both Glen and Marek from the St. George Group for this excellent opportunity and chance to transform Crack into one of the leading powers in eSports, as well as our sponsors PowerGaming. I would also like to wish the best of luck to Epsilon, especially to Aris “Olympus” Broumas to whom I am very grateful for the opportunities he has given me and for his understanding in this move. 

The organisation seems fully dedicated to there players with appearences at MaxLAN in France.
