Counter-Strike: GamePlay v Immunity preview

By: Luis Mira - Published November 07, 2008 at 6:17 PM EST - Writer Archive
Team Immunity will be hoping to cause an upset against GamePlay in the first round of the World Cyber Games.
The Australian side has practiced a lot for this event and its efforts have definitely paid off as it finished second in a rather complicated group.

Immunity's reward for progressing to the Round of 16 is a meeting with GamePlay, who placed third at Extreme Masters Dubai.

The ex-roccat squad finished top of its group with 13 points from its 5 encounters, having surprisingly been held to a draw by Malaysia's [TeamLZ]. However, one can surely question whether the Finnish players' hearts were really into it as none of the group matches really demanded GamePlay to bring out its A-game.

That's one advantage GamePlay has over its opponent as Immunity really had to sweat to book a place in the last 16. Benjamin "benoR" O'Reilly has been riding high on form in Cologne and his services will be required as Immunity attempts to write a giant-killing story.

Although the Scandinavian team is highly favoured for this match, Immunity's chances can't really be written off as the team will do everything in its power to put Australia back on the Counter-Strike map.
