ESWC: Elimination Phase

Posted by Protex at 18:18 11/7/2003.

Now that Group Stage 2 is almost over we can look forward to the upcoming elimination games. The fixtures will be as follows:

SK.swe vs. Bz

Infernum vs. Team9

GoodGame vs. Gamers-X

4K vs. zEx

A tough fixture for 4K, but their history against USA teams could stand them in good stead. Overall, these should be a good set of games to watch. Please note, it is Single Elimination, the brackets on the ESWorldcup site show a lower bracket but this is used to determine final placings.

from what I've seen Shaq and Xenon have been playing pretty well today. Shaq's had one bad half against GG but the rest was very good. Wrighty's not been his usual self but he can only blame himself for losing his mousemat and having to borrow a £1 Tesco Value one off someone else :P [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I think it will be a relatively easy win vs zEx as long as it isnt on train, Iv only watched 1 of their games and that was against intensity who were poor. zEx looked a bit crap.

there are no weak links in 4k from waht i can c.
they have all had s*** games and good games some more than others but no one person stands out as the "s***test".
also i think shaq has been playing exceptionall well considering 3 months ago he didnt have a clue he would be playing at that level so quickly so give him a break. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i dont think marc has "carried" 4k... sure hes played well, but u cant rack up that many frags without a great team with u.

from what ive seen of shaq, i think hes doing well for his first big tourny with 4K.

i watched all games except the first (first) Eq match.

Mangiacapra has proved that not only is he a top professional gamer but he can bring it to lan and be one of the best in the world. Havent seen enough of other teams to say hes player of the tourny so far though.

Stu has been a bit average by his standards and hasnt real done that much special so far. Sure he'll be up for it tomorrow though.

Harvey is possibly the most underated player in the 4K team at this tourny so far. He hasnt been mentioned yet hes been solid in almost every game baring in mind he takes a very hard position watching a long on d2 normally.

Doug has been average and only just started to awp whore which is what 4k lacked so far. Altho marc has done an excellent awpin job at times too.

For his first major lan tourny shaq is doing well imo. He started slowly but hes done okay minus 1-2 shockers. He still has plenty to show.

If stu and harvey are ON tomorrow, then im sure 4K can win. They will prefer to be the underdog and with it being double elim, 4k have a real chance of finishing last 4 [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

wp 4K, very impressive stuff totally dominated neph and oblu was the only one doing things with his never miss awp :D

i think 4K just need a few matches to warm up and shake off the nerves. Once they got a couple of matches out they way they seem to play with loads more confidence which is how they seem in UK tourneys.

The whole team has been playing well and pld to Shaq doing so well , doesnt hurt to have a good experienced team behind you!

zex aint exactly tactics masters but you wouldnt grumble at their aims
