Counter-Strike: UK CPL qualifier finishes with familiar faces atop

By: Trevor Schmidt - Published December 05, 2004 at 12:52 PM EST - Writer Archive
While on the outside this event drew a ton of publicity really it came down to how well one team would play. The Kings, four of them to be exact, played up to their potential this weekend in their home ground, the UK. No big names; SK.swe, EYE, spiXel or mouz, leaving 4Kings with the opportunity to dominate the major pre-CPL qualifier in Europe.

4Kings did what they needed to do, but the same could be true for both Asylum and GG. Neither team really had much of a chance if 4K came ready and played the way they should. Either way, both hoped to come in and find an event left wide open by previously weak 4K teams, the fact is that wasn’t true this time around. The big surprise was the comeback of SSV Lehnitz, a solid central European team. After losing badly to Portuguese 5Giants 23-7 in group play, SSV Lehnitz rebounded beating Plan-B and giving GG a heck of a fight 16-11.

Only one of probably the top 5 UK teams attended.

They'd be 4K, TAG, lastchance, c4u and calibre(who are actually mainly dutch, but lets pretend).

lc, c4u and calibre all played in the Jolt Bloonline tournament at the weekend to play for 2000 pounds cash and loads of hardware. calibre won. Oh, I forgot, all of these three teams, as well as TAG have members in the UK lineup in the CB Nations cup this season. 4K don't have any.

If all of those five had have been there, I would bet money there would be more than just one uk team in the quarter finals.

Midway thought SSV was the austrian team that competes in EPS this SSV however was a sponsored playtown from Denmark thus the mistake.
if anything will drive you crazy prematurely its the gigabyte commercial

4k are more than just a cs clan, so why do people insist on making crappy jokes?

#25 tbh, 3/5 of calibre at bloodline were british, so for that they are a british team :o Calibre got owned in all their pcws, but beat the crap out of everyone in the proper games.
