UKCT - UKCounterTerrorist

The £2000 bloodline BYOC Counterstrike event is only hours away, theres some top UK Teams attending, So we should be in store for some excellent games. The tournament has some great prizes up for grabs as follows:

1st £2000, 5x Intel Pentium 3.5Ghz chip + Motherboards + 512MB RAM
2nd 5x Intel chipset Motherboards
3rd Jolt Clanserver for 3Months

Not shabby at all, as far as I can tell this is the 1st event in the UK with some top prizes, hopefully we can see more of these in the future.

Right now onto the teams!!

As far as I can tell, the main teams attending are as follows:

CAution - Realf1re, Flavas, Kristal, Wicked, Strider
Caution are entering the event with a last minute mix team, Im doubting that they will have prepared much, but Realf1re can be a great leader at times, so Im sure he can turn it around for them. With a highly skilled team, they could pull of some surprise wins vs the bigger teams in the event, but overall I dont see them finishing above 5th, who knows if this goes well could this become the new CAution team?

Lastchance - Ady, Madspunk, Hih1, Song, Milka
Possibly the favourites to clinch 1st, practicing hard as far as I can tell, and well who wouldnt with a 1st prize like the above available. Ady and Song will be the players to watch out for, and I can see these finishing top 3 if not winning it.

CTX - Rain, MH, AWOL, Nick, Nixoh, trippz
CTX, team Cortex! the mighty scouse terminator, RAIN!, well he wishes . CTX are a great team, as we have seen in past events. This team could easily take 1st, one of my top3 to win or cause an upset, as peoples favourites will be Lastchance, Calibre or c4u. I wouldnt bet against CTX not causing a major upset.

Smiles - geo, nate, mfig, Tigerfish, Jam
Online superstar geo has brought his boys out for the event, I dont know much about them to be quite honest, but if they have put in preparation, they could take down CAution!, I dont see them taking anyone else down though.

c4urself! - Kritikal, WilzOOO, trix, eLm, Calli
Ah, my favourite UK Boys!!, They gotta win this, they have to! Although so many of you hate them, they really are one of the best teams we got for the future as a UK community. I cant really say how much preparation they have put in but all 5 of these players have been playing with eachother in 1 clan or another for the past 3 years or so, teamplay should not be a problem. They are missing Kae this time around though, could be a problem for them as he really does excel in these events.

Calibre - Kardy, W1mpio, Marcus, fragM, Keiju
Calibre have hooked up with Keiju for the event, originally they were going to be competing in the CPL event, but have decided to go for the cash prize, who blames them! theres more chance of them winning this than CPL, and get a great reward. We get to see Keiju back in action after a quiet time with ONE and with ONE making a return, it will be interesting to see how he does, Im sure it will be same old keiju though. Hopefully Kardy will carry his team like he has done for TeamUK! doubt it though.

There we have it, my top teams for the event, well that I know off anyway.

I will update with HLTV IPs and matchbots etc, as soon as I know them!

As far as I know the c4u site will be getting updated regularly through-out the day, so checking there every so often for coverage, could be an idea.

For those of us who live in the United Kingdom, our chance of a UK team winning the CPL UK Quals is left on the hands of the almighty 4Kings.

The Royals came first out of their group, beating Drake 16-8, afterfx 16-6 and Madworld 16-11, all reasonably comfortably. Red` and aKuJji played amazingly well in all of these games, constantly puting up strong holds as CT, and smart play as T.

Here is what the fixtures look like, going into the Quater-Finals, which takes place today:

Time: 11:00 GMT
Map: de_cpl_mill



5G Lineup: foxj.GrIng0.JuDiCe.RaMpAgE.tommy

plan-B Lineup: sQuad.sesTe.pyr0.apa7hy.hades
SSV Lineup: kehlet.traceR.louiiiW.skumleStaN

As it stands, we are still set to see the 1st seeds 4Kings, meet the 2nd seeds GoodGame in the finals, for those all important free tickets to CPL.

Good luck 4K

After being moved from 12:30 GMT to the 11:00 GMT timeslot, 4K went on to beat their opponents from germany n!faculty.



4K Lineup: Mangiacapra.Harriman.aKuJji.Goodfella.Red`

Map: de_cpl_mill

As you can see, 4K won very comfortably, on perhaps a map that isn't played that much over here in europe.

Anyway, so who will 4K meet in the Semi`s? None other then Asolyum who beat 5G in the Quater Finals 16:8. Can The clan that has been regarded the online heroes take down the almighty kings at LAN? We all know they recently beat 4K 16:14 on de_train. So for a place in the final we have:



4K Lineup: Mangiacapra.Harriman.aKuJji.Red`.Goodfella
Asylum Lineup: azzkikR.bloddy.Galahat.HAMMERTIME.Relucor
Map: de_inferno
Time: 14:00 GMT
HLTV: proxy6.eu.hltv.org:27020

Best of luck 4K!

When 4Kings met Asylum in the Semi-Finals, it was pretty much one way. I think 4K^Red` summed it up at the end of the match, when he said 'Internet' (referring to Asylum beating 4K online a few days ago).



4K Lineup: Mangiacapra.Harriman.aKuJji.Red`.Goodfella
Asylum Lineup: azzkikR.bloddy.Galahat.HAMMERTIME.Relucor

So, This is what the final will look like, after GoodGame beat SSV Lehnitz.PT 16:09 on de_inferno in the semi-finals



4K Lineup: Mangiacapra.Harriman.aKuJji.Red`.Goodfella
GoodGame Lineup: Olicharan.baldours.yorlin.Mayers.Oligan
Map: de_nuke
Time: 15:30 GMT
HLTV: TBA

It won`t be an easy win for 4Kings, but I wouldn`t put it past them. They took down all their enemies with ease, and now the real test comes! GG are (in many peoples opinion) the best in this. If 4K play well, they will have this!. GL 4K

In the most exciting match of the tourney, 4Kings destroyed GoodGame on home turf to become the winners of CPL.uk!



4K Lineup: Mangiacapra.Harriman.aKuJji.Red`.Goodfella

4K won the first half 10-5 as CT. With a really slow start to the second half when they were T, going 4-0 down, aKuJji pulled something off special, winning a 3on1, and turning the game around. They later won the half, 6-4, ensuring their tickets to CPL
