Counter-Strike: Titans face Pentagram in SemiFinal

By: Trevor Schmidt - Published January 03, 2005 at 4:23 AM EST - Writer Archive
It’s a battle of the overlooked in Europe for a spot in the EuroCup X Finals, The Titans against Pentagram. The Titans origins in the smaller populated Denmark leave it often overlooked when people talk about the top teams in the World, but its previous accomplishments in 2004 can’t be ignored.
It’s a battle of the overlooked in Europe for a spot in the EuroCup X Finals, The Titans against Pentagram. The Titans origins in the smaller populated Denmark leave it often overlooked when people talk about the top teams in the World, but its previous accomplishments in 2004 can’t be ignored.

Winning ESWC 2004, along with numerous top 10 finishes and a second place at WCG 2004 put them as the team to beat among the final four left in Clanbase’s Eurocup X; which includes Swedish Metro and Spanish x6tence along with Pentagram. Still recently questions have arisen for this powerhouse. A pair losses to fellow Danes and emerging International force Asylum at Played LAN #6 this past weekend has left some questions.

Now The Titans face possibly their toughest test on a road to the championship today against Pentagram. The Polish team seems to have fits of inconsistency, showing they belong among the best one weekend at tournaments such as Lehntiz’s to weak or none showings the following weekends. Without a Nollelva performance (or similar Internationally attended event) or a CPL, Pentagram is missing that truly defining mark. Although a win here against The Titans may not secure them such a place, it would help restore confidence in this team’s future possibilities.

#3 wrong. Eraz is the one who's inactive among those you mentioned.

#8 According to topic in #the-titans @ quakenet, whimp is tied of CS, and has accomplished the goals he had when he startede playing CS.

And... im surprised if they win tonight... surprise me pls :)

#15, take a look at Brazil :o

It's somewhat exciting considering this is the only team from Poland to make a ripple in the community. The only other Polish-CS related thing (not team) that I can think of is Olo who wrote I think wrote CSGuard. I was thinking that someone was going to say the exact same thing you said today, and it's no big deal to me, but what about America? I respond the same way to American teams winning at the CPL as I do with CNN, no one notices my flag until I root for a team that's associated with the country my family is from :]

first half they forgot to turn on mr15 and had to play 3 rounds extra, that was weird to figure out on hltv. drally aced the 14th round i think, pentagram just outplayed them for the most part. TT kept having to deal with 1v3, 1v4 situations (and several times did or nearly pulled it off)

Titans looked like a mix from where i was watching but Pentagram played well. They should take the Eurocup easily.

Well, don't overestimate a single match. The Titans already proved to have consistency winning the ESWC 04.
Yesterdays match was not too difficult to figure its outcome out, considering the fact that Pentagram has been training for the Optihack Lan comming up this week, whereas The Titans were forced to play with a new addition to their line-up, due to whimp quiting CS actively. Now imagine a team, with only a single day of practice, if at all a single day, matches a team which has been preparing itself for about two or more weeks.

The main reason why Pentagram did not attend any CPL yet is the same reason which made whimp quit CS, the age limit hitting miRRi in that particular case.
Anyway, they have already prooven they got the same abilities while playing in LAN, they just got to get the stability.

It's sad for titans. even though spx and calc are good players. if they would have stuck with their eswc 04 lineup and if cpl had not such a high age limit, they would have been consistently top 3 team in the world I believe.

Wow... Just because a good team loses one match doesn't mean they became the worst now. And btw: with all of you saying that these players are bad such as "TT is bad now :[", how good are YOU? you can't say that "ooh titans suck!" just like you said to the guy in pub you played the other day. Have some respect...
