UKCT - UKCounterTerrorist

Top russian team M19 have yesterday released another movie, entitled M19 - The revolution is here , containing footage from only 1.6. M19 are one of the best teams in the world, and with wins like WCG 2002 under their belt, its not hard to see why.

The movie was made by Infinity Design. There are a lot of effects in the movie, which I think are superb, but there have been mixed feelings as to whether this is a good or bad attribute. Why dont you take a look for your self, and voice your opinions below. It weighs in at 239MB and is 10:01 minutes long.

Pie`s rating:

Frags: 9/10

GFX: 8/10

Music: 8/10

update: It seems none of the mirrors work, however i found one not on that list that works: Here my b e a utiful's. Not the best mirror but it gets the job done. Enjoy!

Fridays are normally pretty quiet in CS terms, but to help liven it up Mango^ has written a stunningly lengthy article summarising the recent UK/IE Cup LAN Finals, which took place at the LITE centre on the weekend of June 20th.

The article reviews the event and its structure, as well as featuring small summaries of every match and interviews with each of the teams that attended, and an in-depth one with the man behind the event, Zorro of [clanbase]. He also collected various photos of the event and the teams in action, which are also available. Below's a short sample, as ever.

UK/IE Finals Report:

"The UK/IE Cup is a community event, the online structure allows a huge number of clans to enter, many times more that that of a conventional LAN tournament. It wasn't something that was invite only or available to highly ranked clans, it allowed anyone (provided they were registered on Clanbase) to enter the tournament and clans did, in their droves. The cup to me represents not only ambition, but also the desire to build and solidify the community; for many newer clans this tournament "turned them on" to LAN events because there was always the possibility that if they performed well in the qualification stages, they could be playing the top clans in the UK at a bonafide LAN event. "

Overall, the article offers not only a decent review of the event, but an insight into the pitfalls and potential solutions of the UK CS scene. Extremely well written and extremely long, be careful clicking the link below - you could be in for the whole evening!

So, a big thanks to Mango^ for his live coverage of the event, his superb article, and his photography, as well as a big round of applause to Zorro for his dedication and patience with what can often seem a very futile UK CS community, as well as his organisation of the event, and to the LITE LAN centre for their hosting of the event.

Fed up with the same old boring aim maps? Want to play something a little different and refreshing? Well look no further than the second map pack release by top French clan Again`st All Authority. The pack consists of three new aim_maps made by aAa member Coucouoeuf which includes aAa_glock, aAa_usp and aAa_deagle. Graphically the textures used in the maps look very nice and gameplay wise laid out very well.

A high quality version of the recent Counter-Stikeource movie has been released, it`s exactly the same as the previous one, only of a higher quality.

Destructo, former member of top US clan Rival, was interviewed over at NoA`s Website. To be fair, he was a very unknown player, atleast in Europe. He exploded onto the scene by joining NoA a few months back, and with that came instant fame throughout the CS world.



The interview talks about Him and NoA, his history with Counter-Strike, the preperation for the ESCW USA finals and many more random Questions. The interview is 28 Questions long, but the questions are mainly `one liners`, and all the answers are really short. If you want to read it, click this handly little link. Enjoy!
