Gravitas Gaming releases HoT, ToD & SonKiE

Gravitas Gaming announced the release of their remaining players - HoT, ToD and SonKiE join the market of free agents.
After the release of the Russian members of 
Gravitas Gaming back in 2008 more drastical changes have been announced today. With the release of their three remaining players 
Yoan 'ToD' Merlo, 
Mykhaylo 'HoT' Novopashyn and Nikolaus 'SonKiE' Cassidy the American based organization dismissed its complete roster.
The Russian players 
Titan, Xyligan, Rob along with the Finnish 
Elfi had been removed from the team's roster in November already - together they secured the first rank in the NGL ONE Season 2008 and qualified for the WC3L Playoffs where they lost to SK Gaming later. Although rumors about a new addition have been around Gravitas Gaming cancelled their participating for the NGL Finals in December due to "internal reasons".
Gravitas Gaming: SonKiE, ToD, XyLigan and HoT
The original team "New Russia" joined Gravitas Gaming in November 2007 and strengthened its roster over the time - the complete line-up changed from a pure Russian team to an international roster including the former mousesports player ToD.
Quoting
The past year in Gravitas was a big step for me, I enjoyed every moment, too bad things ended like this but I want thank everyone who cheered for us and hope you will still support us in the future.
The complete line-up of Gravitas Gaming back in November 2008 looked as followed:
Yoan 'ToD' Merlo 
Mykhaylo 'HoT' Novopashyn Nikolaus 'SonKiE' Cassidy Oleg 'TitaN' Kuptsov 
Robert 'Rob' Abdrakhmanov Mihail 'XyLigan' Ryabkov (now in iGc) 
Samuli 'elfittaja' Sihvonen (now in EYEsports)
