UKCT - UKCounterTerrorist

The Divine team currently attending KODE5 have now revealed themselves to be the 1.6 branch of the EYEBALLERS organisation. Indeed a name with alot of history and the new boys have alot to live up to.

Begrip staff member nox said :

Before I entered the organisation, EYE did not have a management, just the gaming center. We were looking for a highly skilled team with potential and it was clear that Divine shared the same vision that EYEballers does, it was an easy decision for both parties.

Eye is:

JAEGARN
threat

Rwa
Nikolaus

So from the ashes of one longstanding 1.6 team comes another. The circle of life goes on...

Currently competing at KODE5, they are one of the teams capable of springing a surprise on bigboys fnatic and SK. Can they do it? Only time will tell.

NiP member GeT_RiGhT reveals that NiP's potential 5th is playing for SK!
He says:

The fifth we want is here at KODE5 and is contracted to another team. If they fail to impress, we'll be there to snap him up.

This statement comes after claims that blomstar will be NiPs fifth, but he played down these claims.. he did say however-

If blomstar performs well he can still become a NiP player, dont get me wrong

Only SK, NiP and EYE have contracted players.

Congratulations to Pentagram!

Well, after seven weeks we're at the end of UKPL. Unfortunatly I won't be here to oversee proceedings but hopefully it'll be a good night!

The biggie.

Alright, I'll admit this matchup isn't quite as apetizing as it was at the start of the league, what with dignitas' roster changes as well as their focus on source. Still, say what you will this is arguably the biggest online matchup the UK scene has seen since the Intel C2EC.

Both teams will be going in with perfect records, although 4K could still slip up against Pocket Rockets and/or immolate making this game as must win for them. 4K will have the advantage in terms of 1.6 practice, which will undoubtedly be the criticial point for this match and its for that reason that I'll have the Kings down to win.

If this match had been played seven weeks ago at the start of the season it may have been a different story but times and teams have changed and although dig will not go down with a fight I think only one result will be seen.

This match is likely to be shoutcasted by QuadV, so tune in to that.

Player to watch: jeNuwiN - The leagues top player by SkillTracker will go head to head with AdY, the second placed player but I think AdYs lack of 1.6 practice will let him down. 16:13 to 4K.

[match] time=20:00 flag1=uk team1=strOng~ score1=16 flag2=uk team2=Pocket Rockets score2=12 hltv=HLTV.org or GotFrag irc=UKPL [/match]
Possibly the game that settles the third place in the league. If AA lose to 4K (which is likely) then this game will be crucial for both teams as they race towards the bronze placing.

Coming off the back of the Contender Cup victory strOng~ have looked good, even with the use of mercs whilst AA looked decidely rusty in their previous matchup against dignitas, although that was on de_cpl_strike.

Inferno should mean that its a level playing ground for both teams with strOngs~ traditional strong T side being critical in giving them the rounds they'll need for the win. AA do however have a good bank of players to choose from - its just a case whether they'll be online.

Player to watch: Blacky - He formatted his pc recently so he'll be freaking awesome. 16:12 to strOng~

[match] time=20:00 flag1=uk team1=immolate score1=12 flag2=uk team2=highfive score2=16 hltv=HLTV.org or GotFrag irc=UKPL [/match]
This could be the game that settles who gets the last place in the league, although both teams have a catchup game to play with immolate having the harder of the two, playing 4K on mill.

Although both teams have shown they want to win, it really hasn't happened for either team with immolate being outclassed in each of their games and h5 just not bothering to practice much, if at all.

highfive will probably take this although its debatable by how much.

Player to watch: cRueL - Hes really friendly and is pretty good to boot. 16:09 to h5.

[match] time= flag1=uk team1=Infused-Gaming score1=00 flag2=uk team2=overTime score2=00 [/match]
Both teams have folded.

I'm hoping these games will be happening tonight as well. Teams - let Syb0 or Bliizard know if you can't play.

[match] time=de_train 21:00 flag1=uk team1=Pocket Rockets score1=08 flag2=uk team2=4Kings score2=16 [/match]
These two met at the WCG qualifiers and 4K came off better, taking the match on de_dust2 16:13. Tonight the scoreline won't be as close but will hopefully be as entertaining as 4K move towards the WCG final.

Provided 4K beat dig tonight, they'll need to beat AA and immolate to win UKPL. This shouldn't be a problem for them and again its just a question of by how many they'll win by. The close i31 result was a fantastic game for AA and although it'd be great to see them perform again I think inactivity will be their downfall.

Player to watch: NicholaisoN - Always frags when needed. 16:08 to 4K.

[match] time=de_cpl_mill 22:00 flag1=uk team1=highfive score1=16 flag2=uk team2=Pocket Rockets score2=08 [/match]
This should be another good game between two teams which to be honest haven't been practicing that much lately. However de_inferno can be played with little practice, but when both teams have done little preparation it'll probably result in simply outfragging.

If AA win this match tonight and lose their other two they'll finish in comfortable 4th placing.

Player to watch: CAI - If hes playing he'll bring the neccessary passion to game in order to push AA to the win. 16:11 to AA.

[match] time=de_cpl_mill 22:00 flag1=uk team1=immolate score1=07 flag2=uk team2=4Kings score2=16 [/match]
By the time this game kicks off, immolate may be sat bottom of the table (not included folded clans) and know in their hearts that is this is an unwinnable game and may have to settle for sixth place.

Tonight will see the 4K powerhouse steamroll into action and immolate simply won't be able to hold them back although immolate may be able to collect a few more rounds if they start on CT side. The UKPL will very likely be settled by this match.

Player to watch: mh - Anyone with a beard like that has to be good. 16:05 to 4K.

HLTV will be available at here as well as from GotFrag.

Good luck to all the teams!
