Held at the Crocus Expo in Moscow, the Intel Challenge Cup 2007 event will begin with two group stages, followed by a double elimination phase with the top two finishers from each group.

This will be the first opportunity for the new Virtus.Pro roster to prove what it can do against big names, after a win in ASUS Summer 2007. Ioan "Edward" Sukhariev has proved a strong figure so far and will strive to help his team grab the gold.

Following a second place in the WCG qualifier, Made in Brazil is now in a do or die situation, with Olavo "Chucky" Napoleao being eager to prove his critics wrong.

ALTERNATE aTTaX hasn't performed well in recent online events and had in the ESWC tournament its last LAN appearance. Many are looking forward to see the German giant back into the main gaming stages.

Moreover, the Intel Challenge Cup 2007 event will be marked by the debut of former 69�N-28�E squad as Team Roccat. The Finnish squad recently added Samu �plastE� Aalto and has high hopes for this event.

On the other hand, Begrip Gaming and forZe have failed to impress in recent events and are ready to risk everything in a bid to reach the top places.

hope Virtus get it.

pr0net

the prize is very good...20.000 for the 1st and 50k total.

but still, only mibr, attax, and the finnish teams are the non-RUS/UKR teams.

Go SWERUS!

#3
http://www.gotfrag.com/portal/story/39737/

#4 it seems they are still going to attend the event, probably with just Russian players.

erm theres two A-Gaming teams? A russian and a unkrain one?

Counter-Strike Links Compilation in my profile.

RUSRUS?

go aTTaX!

TRUE LIES

what about HLTV? :/

#8 don't know yet, there were some rumours about no HLTV for the event, let's see.

mibr, attax , ex-logitech and ex-69N28E are the only contenders

mibr Go !

hope roccat will win, but wanna see them in final with virtus :)

Can you kill them all?

the team list for this tournament is almost as unimpressive as WCG USA

shiny penny

I want to see how well Roccat does under the name =D

Go Read a Book =)

This will certainly be interesting, is there any HLTVs available? Or atleast, matchbots?

GotFrag 는 최고의 !

attax will get it

"A dream is true and real, as long as you believe"

#16 - LOL?

#17 LoL? attax is good

gogogo mibr ! :D

brazilian style ROCKS!

thr was a mix of neo + walle i heard looking forward to see them together imo they will be in the top 5 but wont end up in top 3, i say MiBr to prove the critics wrong and win this one.

The reason i use GF is to achieve 4 nerd stars and look E-cool.

the mix was canceled #20

go aTTaX!

Success is failure turned inside out ^_^

go virtus

mTw.dk = mortal Teamwork indeed.

why didnt fnatic attend this event

they wanted to focus on wcg finals #23

never seen cky play but hopefully mibr can do well, but i think attax might take it

just tell orgs that you can add hltv(if u can sure ^^), mb they will agree with it!?

line-up Swerus, plz

biroreeeeeeeeee

"they real reperesemt ok? they going win humildment? they TRU spirito brasilero" by KDM

I thought SWERUS team's not attending.. Since two of the players couldn't get the visa. =|

Live each day like it could be your last

mibr or maybe virtus to take it

go mibr e cade o ip do jogo

no hltv? )=

hltv plzzzzzzzzzzz =(

fnatic ftw!!!

attax or mibr:):)

maybe the finish can make some damage, hltv plx :(

so who's playing for swerus?

hello

russia go)))
ag.rus nice game!

Who are playing for SWERUS now that walle, neo and robban aren't playing there? Is it just those other two that were in it plus three randoms?

Oh well, I hope either mibr, aTTaX, roccat, virtus, a-gaming or k23 will win, and one of them will, pretty obviously. Seems to go bad for cmax.gg eh?

OMG, A-Gaming 20 - 10 CMAX.gg ???

#39, A-Gaming are good, don't underestimate them, I wasn't too suprised they beat CMAX.gg but I'm sure CMAX.gg could've won aswell.

so stupid orgs.... even no hltv...

Intellimouse 3.0, Razer Mantis Control, Sennheiser HD650

AG.ru nice gogogo Siberia

just tell me ... what level of competition is this ... without SPECTATORS [hltv] ???

like as "village cup" for only moscow guys, who can see it in crocus expo

Virtus will win

Arrgh... I've waited all the week for this event to be started... And now i've realised that there is no hltv... It's absolutely brilliant from an organisation hope we'll never see such a championship again ;-)

(i am russian myself)
