Gamefrontier Host UK CPL Qualifier

Posted by Myers at 10:14 21/5/2004.

The CPL has finally announced the details of a UK qualifier. This is the first qualifier in this country since late 2002 which Team9 won.

The event will be organised by the same company that is hosting the upcoming UK ESWC qualifiers, GameFrontier.

Game Frontier is pleased to announce that we are holding the official UK Counter-Strike qualifiers for the CPL Summer 2004 Championship.

The 5v5 UK CS Qualifiers will take place at Landed Lan 7 in Oxford and held between the 25th - 27th June 2004. The winning team will receive an all expenses paid trip to the Texas Final as well as a place in the second stages of the CS tournament bagging a huge $100,000 prize fund.

More information on this qualifier can be found here. By hosting both the ESWC and CPL qualifiers in the UK, it looks like GameFrontier are here to stay.

i like the idea of top euro teams coming over cos way i see it is if i were there i wouldnt expect to qualify if it was only UK teams anyway so i'd welcome the chance to play against some foreign teams of similar calibre to those that came to the last uk qual. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Tbh i think that the UK qualifiers should be UK only, otherwise whats the point in calling it UK qualifiers? We're just gonna get all the rejects from previous qualifiers coming over to the UK to try again and we'll see a lack of UK teams in the CPL.
That said, i can understand that it should be the best teams that qualify, and if we're not better than swedes and germans, so be it. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

To be fair if the swedes come over its gunne be hard :) but i do think UK clans have generally got alot better since the LAST CPL Qualifier in Northampton. I think I-eS will win they have a very strong change of winning. But then again they have swedes in their lineup :< Sweden > UK in cs :P [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Because it's held in the UK?

We're just gonna get all the rejects from previous qualifiers coming over to the UK to try again and we'll see a lack of UK teams in the CPL.

I think you'll find the sponsorship situation in the UK is improving faster than most of our European neighbours, we should see more UK players at this CPL than ever before. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Well TAG are going to the CPL qualifier in yugoslavia, so im sure they'll come to the UK one as well.

It's not just the question of having expenses covered, it's the fact you get a better seed having won a qualifier, and seed can make all the difference at a CPL. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

as well as the UK/France/Sweden/Greece quals there is one in Yugoslavia and the Bilbao one also:

Held in Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC) from 22 July 2004 to 25 July 2004, in Ansio (Bilbao), Euskal Encounter 12 is Spain's oldest (11 years old) and most prominent LAN party. The LAN features game competitions since Euskal 6 in 1998 and was one of past year gaming sensations in Europe with the first edition of GameGune, Euskal Encounter's professional game competition.

This year's GameGune will feature a 32 teams Counter Strike competition, with a total amount of 32.000€ in prizes:

1- 8.000€ + CPL Summer 2004 Autoberth + Trip and accomodation at Dallas (worth 18.000€).
2- 4.000€.
3- 2.000€.

I went last year and it was pretty cool.

Sounds good, I assume 4K, TAG and I-eS will all be at the cpl even if they fail miserably at the quals (which they hopefully wont :)). If it was a UK only qual and those 3 teams showed up, yes they would get a nice seed but you wouldn't see anyone else winning except a possibly super inform mm or maybe c4u.
