If you have not heard of the oldschool clan

ONE, then you deserved to be plucked by a chicken. Naked. Upsidedown. In public place. When its raining. And cold.
The old ONE team are considered to be one of the best teams to come out of the UK, and of the top of my head can remember them beating

I-eS in the final of UKT5 LAN and destroying

OMG.cs at WCG quals
Anyway, the boys are back to have another go. Clan leader,

Righteous comes out of inactivity along with

Strikes, both from the original
ONE team. With another original member, and two new members, will ONE be back on top?

Righteous
(old ONE team)

Strikes
(old ONE team)

Keiju
(old ONE team)

dET
(fluid.element)

Negotiator
(UKLA, sa)
ONE|Righteous had this to say:
yeah were just gona have some fun and see where it leads to. To start with we're going to stick to regular PCWs as we are a tad bit rough as a team atm. But we are talking about joining a league or too bit later on!
ONE|Negotiator had this to say:
Yea back playing together, best way to play cs is with close m8s, no 4k TAG sell out bs
maybe we'll go to lans, well see how we go
ONE|Strikes had this to, er, say?:
FUCK a Beat Ill go OUT SOLO ill get the 7 digits from your mother for a DOLLAR TOMORROW!!
I wish these doods the best of luck, a bit of oldschool for the UK scene to welcome ;o)
Check them in their irc: #clanONE

Evening to all, I hope you have all had a good day!
On tuesday night we saw

4Kings lose to

Asylum on de_train 16:14, in what can only be described as unexpected. Nethertheless,

TAG are in action tonight, against Romanias finest,

TeG

TeG, like
4K, have been the best in their country for the past years, with some clans coming close, but no one ever really establishing themselves as a better clan. Does this long stability and steady roster give
TeG the advantage over recent Member changes in the
TAG camp?
TAG [13:16]
TeG
TAG Lineup: duck.ZaG.NIRee.Magix.MegatoN
TeG Lineup: CreatuRe.Darky.FlopP.Gh3r0s.PeRRy
Map: de_train
Time: 20:00 GMT
HLTV: bcast.blank-tv.de:29300
Scorebot: #cscl.live4
So how will our very own

TAG fair? Well the addition of swedes
Magix and
MegatoN has to help. They have a wealth of experience, playing in clans like

Matrix and

Ownage. This can only benefit

TAG, who are looking better and better everytime I see them play. Just look at them vs.

HLO (demo can be found in the demo section). I along with most others thought HLO would come out victors, or atleast the game would be down to the wire. But alas, TAG dominated. And I can see this happening again!
pie`s prediction: TAG 16:6 TeG
FSK`s prediction: TAG 16:10 TeG
If you want your prediction added here, msg me in IRC!
So there you have it, tune in at 8, and watch TAG in action! GL
Other games tonight include:
mTw.se vs. Ice Gaming
GoodGame vs. DarkSiDe
CNN vs. Cadre
*UPDATE*
Its 8:15. HLTV is not working because the match hasn't started yet.
(20:18:43) (CSCL|Mitch) match hasnt start yet
*UPDATE2*

This is very late but working full time, and trying to do a degree doesn't allow for much spare time!

UK camp did us proud on tuesday in the CB Nations cup, defeating the Icelandic team of, err

Iceland?. Anyway,
Iceland looked extremely impressive earlier on this season, defeating our friends across the water

Ireland 16:0 or something. But, alas, the final score was:
UK [19:11]
Iceland
UK Lineup: duck.ZaG.Kardy.AdY.hih1
Iceland Lineup: spike.Some0ne.Drulli.skaven.entex
Map: de_cpl_mill
As per usual,

Kardy played really well, topping the scoreboard both halves! This win means that

UK stay at the top of their group, with

Iceland close behind. A HLTV of the game can be found
here for those that missed the game.
Next up for the UK team is

Spain, Tuesday the 7th on de_dust2, whilst

Ireland take on

Poland this Sunday on de_cpl_mill, and then

France on wednesday the 8th on de_dust2. Check back for more info!
Gl to both nations! Hopefully

Ireland can get themselves off the bottom of the group!

The UK CPL Qualifiers went live last night, with the first group being played out fully.
Group 1 consisted of:

Landed

5Giants

Playtown.SSV

2s2p
The results are as follows:

5Giants 20 - 10

Landed

2s2p 8 - 22

Playtown.SSV

5Giants 23 - 7

Playtown.SSV

2s2p 12 - 18

Landed

5Giants 21 - 9

2s2p

Landed 8 - 22

Playtown.SSV
This means that 5Giants go through, dominating the group comfortably, they will face much tougher opposition on sunday in the brackets though. 2s2p sadly failed to get a win, but still put up a good fight in all of their games. Landed and Playtown went down to the last game, the winner determined who would go through and the loser, of course was going home! Playtown won very easily, Landed conceeded 11 rounds as CT to a strong Playtown T side, none of these promised surprises from the confident Landed team, maybe next time.
5Giants and Playtown go through!
You can find demos over HERE as well as schedule for the upcoming matches!
