The ESL 1.6 UK League began last night with its first fixtures of the season. The announcement of the divisions stirred up some controversy when announced, due to clashes in opinions of seedings in the divisions.

The first week matches are throughout this week, and date and times are dependant on agreement between the two teams but must be played by Sunday 11th at the latest. Matches are best of three; each team eliminates a map each, and chooses the one they would like to play. The map left is used a decider if the result is at 1-1. Maps are de_nuke, de_inferno, de_dust2, de_train and de_tuscan.

Remember, all players must be running the anti-cheat Aequitas, and files must then be uploaded after the match. Five screenshots per match must be uploaded within 24 hours: 4 showing the scores of each map and side, and 1 of SteamIDs and IPS. All players must record a demo, but only upload when requested by an admin. For the full rules, click here.

The first week matches are as follows:

Premier:

uk 4fx [xx:xx] beauts uk
uk straight6 [00:02] ooo uk
uk TLR [xx:xx] Flying-V uk

Division 1:

uk esports-united [00:02] authority.uk uk
uk Infused [xx:xx] Killing for Pleasure uk
uk playhack [xx:xx] satyr uk

Division 2:

uk Glockstars [xx:xx] Team run down uk
uk NeP [xx:xx] cruciaL uk
uk IntoTheGame [xx:xx] denied uk


Good luck to all!

Yesterday saw G7 release their last rankings of 2008. The final rankings saw dk mTw top a successful year with another podium finish. Other than a simple swap between mTw and se SK Gaming, there have been no changes. You can see more below:

1st. dk mTw (http://static.fragbite.com/design/standard/upp.gif)
2nd. se SK (http://static.fragbite.com/design/standard/ner.gif)
3rd. se fnatic
4th. pl MYM
5th. de mousesports
6th. bra Made in Brazil
7th. ko e-STRO
8th. fi GamePlay
9th. fr emuLate
10th. de Alternate

Congratulations to mTw. It will be interesting to see how with the recent injection of American players back into 1.6, the rankings change.

SteelSeries: Something is coming...

Over the past few days, a website has been created by SteelSeries, and everyday at 7pm GMT it updates with a new picture. So far on there is:
  • se Harley "dsn" Orwall - "Something that was missing"
  • eu The Octagon - "Can you take the pressure?"
  • se Michael "ahl" Korduner - "A big thing for the Nordickles"
  • se Zainab "zAAz" Turkie - "Finally an equal chance"
  • se Marcus "zet" Sundstrom - "A powerful step"
  • se Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg - "Don't miss out on this"
  • pl Matt "Neo" Damon - "Up for the challenge?"
  • dk Jonas "whimp" Svendson - "It's worth the trip"

The title of the webpage is 1st of January. Steelseries are entering the new year with something big, so head on over to UGT.se to find out what is going on. In addition, their affiliate partner is Inferno Online, which could have something to do with the Octagon. Furthermore, everything so far has something relating to Scandanavia, other than the Octagon, which could be anything.

Ultimate Gaming Tour is a 1vs1 competitive shootout tournament which focuses mainly on the individual skills of a player. This concept is far from new, but the prize money involved plus the fact that the tournament is open for anyone above 16 years of age is key to its evolution. The qualifiers will be spread out across Sweden making it readily available for almost all to compete without having to travel large distances - and spending loads of cash.

Today almost all electronic sports events are focused around team games, most stature given to winning the 5vs5 tournaments.The UGT aims at finding the best aimer out there, regardless of team level and previous merits and award him/her 100,000 SEK.
UGT was created by Media Markt and SteelSeries, with the idea of bringing in various Media Markt partners in order to raise the stakes to give the chance at winning a huge prize purse - a first in Nordic 1vs1 Counter-Strike history.
