Counter-Strike: 4Kings wins WCG UK in controversial final

4Kings has won the place in the World Cyber Games event in a surprising 5vs4 final.
Four Kings had defeated Dignitas in yesterday's Upper Final and would require only one map to secure the place in the World Cyber Games tournament in Seattle.

The match was set to start at 10.00 AM GMT time, but when the clock reached twenty minutes past ten, the following message was seen:

- We are starting at 10.30 whether they are in or not.

The remaining players joined the server as the admins seemed serious about their wish to start on time. Everyone connected, except James "wilzOOO" Wilson.

Wilson had apparently not arrived at the venue on time. The match was held up thirty minutes, after which the game began, with four of Dignitas' players against five members of 4Kings.

"Dignitas didn't give a reason for wilzOOO not showing up," an i31 Counter-Strike admin told GotFrag.com.

"They were fully aware they were meant to be in the green room at 9am behind the finals' arena but wilzOO didn't turn up until 10.50."

The last Dignitas member eventually joined the server for the second half, but 4Kings already had a 12-3 advantage, which resulted in a final score of 16-4 in favor of 4Kings.
