Counter-Strike: CAL Invite SXVII 7.1 Melee

By: Stewart Blake - Published September 18, 2006 at 8:22 AM EDT - Writer Archive
CAL Invite struggles to continue play in their seventeenth season on the household map, Train. Play resumes after being delayed due to WCG USA Final.
CAL Invite returns tonight but don't expect anything to exciting. Six of the sixteen teams in Invite, namely America's best, were participating in the WCG USA Final last weekend and will hopefully be ready to play in tonight's matches but it is very doubtful.

On a side note, don't be too disappointed as we still have the likes of Revolution Sports, Desire to Excel, Evil Geniuses, Meepins and the other spectator favorites to accompany us if the others are absent, hopefully.

The match of the night looks to be Evil Geniuses vs. JaX Money Crew. EG went on to win their fourth straight WCG Canada Final as JMC struggled last weekend at the WCG USA Final in which they did not make it out of Group Play. But with Griffin "shaGuar" Benger playing in place of Erik "da bears" Stromberg for EG at the Qualifier their roster status is doubtful for the remainder of this season of CAL.

Some other great match ups are in store if everyone decides to play as scheduled. zEx will take on United5 after both teams had an incredible finish at WCG USA with zEx taking third and United5 losing to Team 3D in the Finals. But on the darker side zEx, who used da bears in the US Qualifier may or may not be using him tonight as he is not on the zEx roster, yet.

Revolution Sports will be facing off against Desire to Excel who is still pushing for Playoff hopes currently standing with a 5-7 record. With the addition of Mike "CuZ" Nang they look to be only getting stronger in which this match is looking to go down to the wire. Mug N Mouse will host Fear Factor with Turmoil facing off against Aggression, Cyberglobe taking on NetFragz, Glimpse of Reality vs. Team eMg and finally Confederacy vs. Meepins.
