Tonight in the CB CS Nations Cup Sweden defeated UK in a close and very competitive game. With only 30 minutes notice team UK were to play Sweden and with Mangiacapra, our usual team selector not available, EDwards took charge and selected the 5 players (6 including the stoned Wright)Team UK got off to a great start on de_nuke winning 7-5 as CT. Both teams switched sides and team UK carried on with their momentum winning 7-5 as T.
The second half of the game was de_aztec. Team UK had a slight ping disadvantage throughout the game being on a Danish server but were determined to show the Swedes that they had a thing or two up their sleeves.
However a huge upset was not meant to be, with Sweden winning both pistol rounds meaning that they had AWPs first. Team UK went to lose both rounds 4-8 and 4-8.
Final scores were 26-22. Well played to team Sweden and unlucky team UK who put up a very good fight.
EDwards aka DArtagnan: There were a few problems with the admins pauses, but it was never a game we expected to win, we just wanted to perform well, and we did just that, must have given them a scare.AnNuM: Everybody played well and was a cracking overall performance. Everyone deserves credit and UK 'fans' should be proud. If it was for some minor server/admin problems we probably could have clinched the game. GG sweden and thanks for everyones support

"EDwards took charge and selected the 5 players (6 including the stoned Wright)"
Indeed, and sadly there were only 5 uk players online when the match was arranged at last minute.
Lastly, don't be too harsh on the admin - i'm sure he was trying his best; despite being team-uk I think if the boys led by Dart dont push their weight around enough and demand a fair server, and no pausing mid-round, they deserve all they get.
A lesson for the future perhaps - never overestimate the opposition and think that pings dont matter.

So, why didn't we win? Well, 3 players on ISDN is a start. 80 pings plus compared to 30-40 is a big disadvantage. Clichéd maybe, but it's true. Add to that the fact that the Swedish fans kept flooding our ISDNers out of the match; most likely an organised event. Very sad that it should come to that to make Sweden win the game. As for the admin, what I saw was not good, but considering HLTV was a bit f***ed, I'll have to view a demo.
One interesting thing when watching HLTV, rcon message at top of screen came up saying "uk-team|bob OGC detected" when he headshotted a Sweden player. Most peculiar.
But, all in all, IMHO, the UK team were the better of the two, and certainly showed their prowess on Nuke. Extremely well played, lads. Let's face it, you showed the world UK can easily compete with the best, something hard to acheive in the past. Next time LAN maybe? We'll see, Sweden, we'll see...

wasn't rcon.. was just some fag on HLTV that changed their name to look like the same as the server name and said that to try and fool people, but he forgot to put spaces in the "uk-team | bob" or whatever the tag was, so i cant see how he managed to fool 40 odd dumb people who then spammed about it, funny.

adsl is better for uploading, roughly the same download as cable, slightly higher ping
cable has low pings, slightly less dl than adsl, less uploawith the adsl price cut, its probably the better conn to get, and afaik its more stable. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I find it funny that the UK managers cant even pick a team when they got 6 to choose from and one is stoned!! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Myers and Chris' position as manager is doing just that, arranging the games, and in the first place selecting the team. They leave the playing and tactics to the people that do it best and have best experience, the players. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
