UKCT - UKCounterTerrorist

Over in New York compLexity have beaten 3D over two maps to one to pick up the DigitalLife 2006 championship and and a nice £8000.

Due to the organizers GGL refusing HLTV, TSN or scorebot access (the only coverage was through their own register-only service) the whole event wasn't exactly covered in the most public way.

Anyway, the final standings and prizes:

1st compLexity - £8000 and five Alienware m5750 laptops
2nd 3D - £5300
3rd Pandemic - £3700
4th United 5 - £2700
5th Evil Geniuses - £1100
6th Echo7 - £500
7th-8th Flow
7th-8th h5m

Congratulations to compLexity!

The all Austrian team Made in Austria announced their move today into the organization n!faculty. Made up of some ex mousesports players, the team was originally a pipedream to create an all-Austrian team to represent Austria at the biggest gaming events.

Heres what Yilmaz "apathy" Seren had to say about the move:

Seste and I know Wepster, the leader of faculty, for a long time. He made us an offer to join them and we accepted because we know we can play there in a positive atmosphere without concerning about organizational things. We got the same value conceptions in terms of friendship and success and n!faculty is a reliable and traditional organisation in Germany. Much won't change though for us. Our main goals like participating in EPS Alpen, a good ranking at WCG and attend other events like ESWC & SEC, remain the same.

The team are competing in the WCG finals at Monza, using Franz "gore" Burghardt as a stand-in for Christoph "pyr0" Trafoier who is finishing up his military service.

n!faculty is:

Yilmaz "apathy" Seren
Michael "PapsT" Schmid
Christoph "pyr0" Trafoier
Boris "sQuad" Zrost
Martin "seste" Szesztanovich
Franz "gore" Burghardt (Stand-in for WCG)

Good luck!
