Elem was also very good last Cup but haven't seen or heard anything of him in past few months, is he still in form?
KhAoS is an interesting selection too. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

neffgen ur the one that advised us 2 pick a large squad :). However due to availability issues, we had to pick it anyway [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

It would be hard to pick a less trust worthy team, at least five of those players would cheat if they thought they had to, many long suspected and/or caught.

They came in the top 12 at the cpl!, and have always been a very consistant clan...so they lost 1 game on a lan to ui...*shrug* it happens!.
They are by far among the most experienced and skilled player in the game atm. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

As for the UK team i think it's a good relfection of the top players in the UK, maybe has 1 or 2 strange choices, but in the end they're unlikely to be considered for the 1st 5 that play the majority of the matches. We had a great practice last night where we absolutely crushed DKH on a german server which was cool.
I woulda liked to have seen blaze in, but he himself admitted the other day after a gather than he wasnt in good form and isnt playing very much anymore. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

oogle as for ren's comment on ppl commenting about i-es' lan performances, i dont see how u cant agree.
Seems that everyone who hasnt experienced something feels the need to comment on it, but then u could use that arguement against positive comments too i spose :} [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

What strikes me about that is that it shows how much a team of individuals with little tactics/teamplay together can achieve against a seasoned clan. It shows that tactics and teamplay are nothing without fragging power.

Also why penalise i-eS players, if the 5 best in the UK were in one clan, why not pick them, isn't the team meant to be picked on skill?

Pretty silly to make a comment like that when were talkin about a National team - ofcourse the skill has gotta be there before you start on the tactics etc? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

infinity esports are the best and most experienced clan in the country, so go figure
Ill go Figure Myers.....
You chose such a biased team i could have s*** a better team tbqh....
It may contain good players, but the fact you chose all 4 i-eS English players, with Fraggle next to you in your 'manager' seat, well people are going to think 'hmm, and this isnt rigged?'
I believe Neffgen said himself at i10 that the team was 'Rigged' the second you and chriso took up the job, and that Rigs should have gotten the job, as he knows what CS is about, as he plays, and not just watches from a 3rd person pespective and goes on reputation.
Elem for example: He kicked El3h from UKLA because, Eleh also favours the AWP, and proved he is a fantastic shot by missing 1 bullet out of possibly 20 in the i10 Final, against i-eS.
So Elem got rid of him from UKLA...But you chose Elem because of his rep. and not his skill, Raider is by far the best sniper (if there is such a thing in online-CS) in the UK, and should have gotten a place in the team over anyone.
Tbh, the only player i would have taken out of i-eS is Liquid, because hes the most consistent player in CS, and is a fantastic team player.
But a team so biased cant be expected to do well, and i reckon they will be slammed out in the group stages just as they were last year.
Neffgen chose a perfectly fair team last year, but this year is a totally different story.
So sad that Clanbase havent got a clue about CS, otherwise we may have gotten a fair team!
p.s) This is not a b***h at anyone, its merely a statement about the team selection. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Rhyzz - That is indeed a b***h about people. Not only about the players but Myers/chris0 too. You certainly couldnt do a better job.
In recent pcw's, the non-liquid members of 4k played extremely well (as usual). Suggesting that the other 3 arent good enough is ludicrous.
Re: el3h - You seem to think that beacsue he was kicked that must *obviuosly* be because he uses awp or somethihng like that (lol?). UKLA had too many members (like 12+) and we needed a smaller team. He was difficult to work with, and no I didnt rate him with awp (I admit I didnt see as much as others have), but you gotta play with people you can work with, and so he had to go. This is a misconception that needed to be cleared up.
And if you think i suck with awp i'll do some in-eyes demos of it in upcoming matches, and upload them somewhere. Stationary crosshair shots are newbie material, and those are mostly what you see in demos these days.
Whilst im on this rant (why stop heh ? ) a good way to really see awp ability is to take an awp ct on prod at spawn (literally) and get Ts to attack through the alley (and at the T-junction).
This is a good test because it sorts the men from the boys as regards awping, because there is no place where you can rest the crosshair and have it covered. (If you rest it next to the crate, you cover awpers but not akers jumping past/running past). If you leave a gap you get the jumpers/runners but die to the awp. So the only option is to either gamble, or move the crosshair under pressure. And people who cant do that consistantly in my eyes suck with awp.
But I think you're just judging on kills/death ratio

comment on your statement..
imo if myself and myers didnt get in, then DK wouldve got it well above Rigs.
Not flaming anyone here, just my statement [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

noc*Mike(Blaze) should be in UK Team instead of Purple, but thats my opinion.
Mike played really well in the SK match and showed the skill he is capable of. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
