ESL CSCL Season 2 UK qualifier Final

Posted by Nakara at 08:05 1/2/2005.

Just two weeks ago thirty-two teams started in the ESL CSCL Season 2 qualifiers for the UK and now only two remain. The two teams to have reached this stage are Landed.cs and Ants.uk. Both sides are currently in good form and have progressed to the finals with relative ease, with the help of a couple of defaults. Below is either side's progression to the finals, starting from round one to the semi finals (left to right).

Landed have come through only playing the two games, but after a very convincing win against Caution in the quarter finals and good form in the ESL UK cup they will be more than ready to tackle this final.

Ants.uk have surprised a few people with their results, knocking out two of the favourites, (Forsaken and Choke) and done so quite convincingly with comfortable barrier between each win.

Currently two sides have already qualified for the LAN finals Ultimate (Greece) from the southern qualifier and Wings (Finland) from the northern qualifier, and there are four other qualifiers still going on. No doubt both Landed and Ants.uk will be eager to get to the LAN finals and get the chance to compete against equal quality from abroad.

The match kicks off at 20:00 hrs GMT and is being played in a best of three format. The three maps being played are:

HLTV will be available closer to the match and posted on here ASAP. Good luck to both teams tonight and may the best team win!

Update: HLTV IP is bcast.blank-TV.de:27500

ANTS will lose this one as they know too many ppl are watching but they will make it look like they gave a good fight so i predict a relativly close match.

The qualifiers are for the actual CSCL Season 2. This takes place online and from there the top four will go to the LAN Finals. Therefore nobody has qualified for the LAN Finals yet. :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I would say that, but playing a game an hour later instead of taking a default win that far into the competition would have been the nice thing to do.

Landed do seem like nice lads, but taking the default to get to the finals is a bit cheap. They couldve made the final 2 maps and have lastchance play landed before then the winner stays on and plays Ants. Nothing like that would ever happen though.. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Don't forget they turned you down for a trial, that's quite a feat.

Landed beat ACT with a different team, anyway whats all this s*** about them not being nice people? thats all bs and you know it. landed are probably one of the most down to earth cs players in the 'better' group the cs community and more importantly they aren't complete c**ks like most.

what ever the result tonight both teams will deserve to win. gl all [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i agree about Landed defaulting their way through. They insisted we re-arrange our match because they couldn't make the proposed date. Then 1 night before this night i got a pm at about 12 midnight, landed saying now they do want to play on the original day and they cant play any other days all week because they are busy with other matches. At midnight all my players had already gone offline and had been told we had re-arranged the match. Landed refused to play the match any other day out of 7, quite harsh if u ask me :< [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

We do not accept the result. As the 100 or so people on HLTV know the game was total and utter nonsense. Until we have seen the demos requested and until the ESL head admins have seen the demos and assured us that they were (nt) cheating then we will not accept any result.

How they managed to get this far in this tournament is an absolute mystery. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

tbh, just take defeat man. these guys are unknown yes, but v good. they had some right crazy tactics that worked really well when we played them. They practice alot thats all. They may config but they sure as hell dont cheat.

few ego's been wounded in this cup me thinks. And the so called "Big names" cant take being beaten by unknown clans.
