We're now into week three of UKPL and de_nuke. With WCG coming up some of the teams will have been dividing their time between the other rotation maps but we're still sure to see some good games tonight.

[match] time= flag1=uk team1=strOng~ score1=10 flag2=uk team2=4Kings score2=16 [/match]
Unfortuantly due to WCG being next weekend 4Kings have requested there be no HLTV for this game tonight. Therefore the only way to get the latest from this game is to watch the UKPL scorebot or listen to QuadV.

strOng~ in many peoples eyes overachieved last week when they played dignitas, taking 10 rounds off arguably the UKs #1 team and tonight they take on arguably the #2 team on a more coventional map. 4Kings should be well versed on nuke and I think they will take the map but strOng~ won't go down without a fight.

Player to watch: ZaG (4K) - His performance to beat the old 4K in the C2EC was key to their victory and he'll hopefully be on the ball tonight. 16:08 to 4K.

Rescheduled from playday two: (de_cbble)

[match] time= flag1=uk team1=highfive score1=07 flag2=uk team2=4Kings score2=16 [/match]
Due to cbble not being played at WCG this match will have HLTV coverage.

Should be a straight forward game again for the 4K lads, particuarly if they get the stronger CT half first. h5 will be hoping their shanks are primed to win the knife round but if they fail it could be close to a washout for them.

Player to watch: jeNuwiN (4K) - Always a pleasure to watch. I'd like to see h5 take more than a few rounds off 4K but I'm not sure it'll happen, 16:04 to 4K if they win knives.

iG versus h5 has been moved to Tuesday at 21:00 whilst Dignitas vs overTime has been postponed until after the WCG qualifiers. AA vs eom will not be played until a replacement team for eom has been found - News on that to come.

QuadV will be shoutcasting the strOng~/4K game and as usual GotFrag and HLTV.org will be providing HLTV.

Good luck to all the clans involved.

A bit of good and bad news then.

Bad news - eom have decided to relinquish their spot in UKPL. A surge of inactivity was the main reason behind the decision. However in a strange twist of a fate (or karma?), immolate (who were the centre of a flashbugging episode with AA) have been allocated the last spot.. They'll inherit eoms loss to strOng~ and wil play AA on de_nuke this Wednesday at 21:00.

Second bit of news, SteelSeries have decided to give us a few prizes for the tournament leaving the prize selection as:

1st. HVPC PC creation and share of profits
2nd. 5 x QcK heavy pads
3rd. 5 x QcK+ pads

UKPL continues this Sunday with playday four on de_cpl_strike with the following matches:


Good luck to immolate for the rest of the league!
