UKIE 1.6 Top 10 clan rankings - June

Posted by ukNic on the 16th of June 2008 at 11:00 PM in Gaming News    265 Comments

A month late, but once again its time for the fourth UKCT UKIE top 10 1.6 clan rankings. With Summer approaching and various LAN events played out, I've grabbed the opinions of five of the main UK sites.

They are:

Enemydown
Infinity Gaming
TheSGL
UKCT
Wiredinn

CSGN have been dropped from voting due to inactivity. Once again, the ranking are worked out by each organization ranking their top 10 clans. Each position has a number of points related to it and these are then added up.

1st. 15 points
2nd. 12 points
3rd. 10 points
4th. 8 points
5th-10th. 6-1 points

June 2008 rankings:

1st. uk dignitas - 75 points (Aleski, 101, Kurt1s, Sp|ke and Suffz)
2nd. uk 4Kings - 60 points (mh, madSpunk, monkE, jEnUwiN and shaQ)
3rd. uk Team-Coolermaster - 50 points (zaK, taLz, JungleboY, sly, faken and pie)
4th. uk cZar/coda - 31 points (spk, Blacky, Murdy, dolphin, phorest and esm)
4th. uk sexytime - 31 points (chris, Kenjinn, AdY, mbk, Psy, robbs and Sharpe)
6th. uk immolate - 30 points (Kyle, cpr, MaTzz, mstains and Crono)
7th. uk FtD - 11 points (Jack, foz, fluid, VANGUARD, kelevra and Warren)
8th. uk Acuity - 10 points (easaner, Trep, JZ, Yon, Mou53y and Monkeh)
9th. uk Faction - 9 points (xeon, ptm, htf, jager, wute and zeox)
10th. uk jogon - 8 points (Eagle, Roybacon, Elite33, bern, algopeal)

Just outside:

uk eZe (5 points), uk Satyr (4 points) and uk Mirror (1 point)

As we can see, the top 3 was fairly predictable with each of the teams gaining a full sweep of votes. Whats more interesting is the teams below them. After a good showing at ESWC, sexytime are now joint 4th with cZar/coda, pipping immolate by one point. We've decided to include immo, despite them just going inactive for Summer. After the 6th place it all gets a bit muddled with a whole selection of clans vying for a top 10 place.

This is also the first ranking without an Irish team, as well as the second time dignitas have claimed the number one spot.

Congratulations to dignitas who as TmG missed out on first place in the last rankings.

October 2006 rankings
May 2007 rankings (on dignitas site)
October 2007 rankings:

1st. uk 4Kings - 84 points (ZaG, mh, monkE, nick, jenuwin)
2nd. uk TmG - 78 points (Aleski, 101, suffz, Kurt1s and RedH)
3rd. uk strOng~ - 48 points (esm, Blacky, spike, suntouch, murdy and dajo)
4th. uk highfive - 40 points (Nitrony, toko, cruel, ktl, kemistry, ruLe and Highlander)
5th. uk Infused-Gaming - 34 points (zaK, DeM0n, KuD0s, SolutionX, entail and PEd)
6th. uk inyourmind - 30 points (CAI, faken, blubs, Wallace, immuNe and Dancemag)
7th. ie wink - 28 points (Tazzle, Jimmad, Gman, Sp|ke, gig and samc)
8th. uk immolate - 21 points (MaTzz, cpr, crono, Burt, spunK and NiNjA)
9th. uk sexytime - 15 points (Kenjinn, Py, Sharpe, robbs, Arome and sorted)
10. uk First.uk - 8 points (Buu, Kolobos, fr3t, kelevra, Bobathy)

Just outside: http://www.uk-ct.net/resources/flags/uke.gif vitalsigns (7 points) and uk cloud9 - (3 points)

GeT_RiGhT blanked

Posted by hokakll on the 18th of June 2008 at 6:42 PM in Team News    17 Comments

Former SK-Gaming player swe GeT_RiGhT has been removed from swe lag blank.

This follows the Dreamhack which occured a few days where the team finished 3rd-4th in the ESWC Qualifiers, short of their qualification expectations. They lost to swe SK and swe fnatic, where GeT_RiGhT went 0-14 against SK. His removal was due to poor communication between him and the rest of the team.

This leaves the team as:

swe Fredrik "JAEGARN" Andersson
swe Johan "face" Klasson
swe Rasmus "GuX" Ståhl
swe Niklas "Nikolaus" Johansson

Good luck.

Kyle is a cool master

Posted by ukblubs on the 18th of June 2008 at 10:49 PM in Team News    108 Comments

With the recent departure of uk faken, uk Team-CoolerMaster have decided to pick up ex uk immolate power house uk Kyle.

The team had their first game against uk acuity tonight in theSGL Pro Series One Play offs with a comfortable 2-0 win which means this new lineup looks comfortable with the new addition.

The lineup is now

uk zaK
uk JungleBoy
uk taLz
uk sLy
uk Kyle

uk pie
no arch1e

Good luck to the new lineup
