UKCT - UKCounterTerrorist

Today we have opened a 5on5 Mix Ladder to give teams somewhere more relaxing to play than the Amateur Series, with several reductions to the rules to make the focus on playing.

The following exceptions to the standard ESL rules apply to this ladder

- Custom hud/scoreboards allowed
- No client setting restrictions
- Only winner must upload Aequitas
- Missing Aequitas from winner is delete only, no penalty points
- POV demos are not required

As always, we are still looking for admins. If you're interested, please apply.

The ESWC UK qualifier semi-final takes place from 8pm tonight. Favourites Dignitas will surely progress to the final unless the somewhat unknown CAMULODONIADUNUMOM team pull off the biggest upset in CS history (this qualifier is online with the use of SGLAC). In the other semi-final, there are two mix teams under the guise of recognisable names. zaK has enlisted the help of Karrigan from Cheap Times! and also for one game only; bomber. vitalsigns have enlisted ex-tcm/dignitas players namely Jb, tALz and faken.


Lineups:

dignitas (Suffz, KYESAR, AaroN, Kurt1s, wEZ)
vVv Gaming (zaK, Kenjinn, Sharpe, Karrigan, bomber)
vitalsigns (onscreen, IRISH, JungleboY, tALz, faken)
CAMULODUNUM (AMPED8], crash~, Stat, Fexy~, CARLCAINE)

Good luck to diggers in Paris on 1st July!!

Good luck to all teams participating!

Over at DreamHack where there is plenty of action going on, it seems like the ante has really been upped and the tension is building for the top 4 Swedish teams as they take part in the Inferno OnLine Final where fnatic, SK-Gaming, H2k.Gaming and MYM go into battle to be crowned the IOL Final 4 winners!

After the group stages it was fnatic that came out due to round difference with SK-Gaming. All teams showed great confidence and experience as they stretched the number 1 team in the world, fnatic to the limit with H2k.Gaming taking 2 maps off them in the group stage.


So with fnatic and SK-Gaming in the final with both teams level on points from the group stage it was all in the hands of the player to determine who would come out victorious.


Congratulations to SK-Gaming on their long awaited victory over fnatic in a final.

So yet another tournament happening at DreamHack over the weekend and it saw yet the same top 4 Swedish teams competing for the qualifying slots for the Nordic WCG qualifier finals, which will take place 5th-8th August at Assembly Summer in Helsinki, Finland and the winner of which will be going to WCG 2010 Finals in Los Angeles.



Congratulations to fnatic on yet another gold trophy to add to the collection and SK-Gaming who also qualify to the next round.
