Logitech.fi and eSuba were the high-profile casulties in the opening round and you can expect more big names to go crashing out this week as the competition heats up. Round 2 presents us with a number of mouth-watering ties which will be played out on mp_vacant, a "love it or hate it" map on which close-range battle is the order of the day.

WSVG winners Tek-9 take on Speedlink in the first of the round's top ties in the continuation of a rivalry which stretches back longer than many would care to remember. Davy will again lock horns with Trigger as both sides look to prove their new-look lineups have what it takes to repeat their CoD2 successes.

Meanwhile, Da Imperial Executors will take on the former EYE squad - now representing fnatic - in an all-Scandinavian showdown. DIE have looked the weaker of the pair in recent weeks but fnatic's tumultuous split from EYE can't have done their concentration and preparation any favours.

The final classic of Round 2 sees the revamped Serious-Gaming roster face the French side oXmoze, who have started exceptionally well in Call of Duty 4. Serious have a heavy weight of expectation resting on them and oXmoze would be only too pleased to knock them down a peg or two.
