UK CS 5V5 Championships - Revised Schedule

Posted by kal at 18:20 21/2/2005.

Applications have been trickling in for this big money competition, with confirmed applications already from a number of top teams including UniCon, Caution!, Cortex, Harmless and several others.

After some consideration we have decided to reduce the entry fee (and therefore the prize fund) to enable more teams to take part. We have also decided to allow teams to attend as many or as few qualifiers as they wish, additionally the final has been extended to sixteen qualifying teams who will compete for the top prizes over both the Saturday and Sunday. For participants in the BYOC or CS finals there will be a sleeping area available free of charge, if you would prefer to get a proper nights sleep please ask for details of reasonably priced local hotels.

Main points:

At this time there are spaces available at all qualifying events, to apply please email n4@unicongaming.co.uk stating which dates you would like to attend:

February 2005 : 26th / 27th
March 2005 : 5th / 6th / 12th / 13th / 19th / 20th
National Finals & Easter BYOC
March 2005 : 25th / 26th / 27th / 28th

Well then I'm not quite sure what makes you so arrogant and c**ky on publics then. Saying things like 'cry' and 'whine cos you cant aim' doesn't get you respect and makes you look like a t**t, which I pointed out in dustworld today when I was having a joke. Wake up into the real world hunny... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

You need far more detail in your news post. I have no idea on any of the specifics of this "UK CS 5V5 Championships" (is that really the name? At least come up with something half-decent), other than the fact it involves CS, and playing 5v5. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

think you shud revise it again boys.

"NO MINIMUM NUMBER OF EVENTS (A good performance at two of the eight events should secure a place in the top 16)"

I will really travel up north twice, spending my time and money, to perform well and only MAYBE have a chance of qualifying.

Either your not thinking straight, or your trying to word it so that more people will go to more qualifiers. In which case is even worse. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

there are qualifiers on both days of the weekend, so u travel up, play a qualifier, stay the night then and play another qualifier.

dont know what dates the actual finals are on though because it has 4 days down, and surely a 16 man cup cant last 4 days :S

also, if the cup is on the weekend its gonna be hard for any people to get the weekend off (if your a student that works weekends) because of it being easter week, so please if the final is only gonna last 2 days have it on the weekdays ! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

DanceMag` every single one of us is from in / around Manchester. I can see why its a problem for teams from the South with 2, possibly 3 trips, having to be made upto sunny manchester. But lets be fair Manchester is such a lovely cultured city.. its well worth the money :| [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Would it not be possible to just cut off the north of the UK, and just build it onto a 2nd floor of the south, then i can just get an elevator up north and not have to travel...plus the north sux anyway.... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

lol the amount of ppl who say 'sponge' 'nice rates' when they clearly miss ppl is amusing hence my responses.

Sounds like a way to get everyone playing in 3 or more qualifiers to secure their place, waste of money unless you live close to the lan.
Good Luck all who are attending the UK Championships. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i aint pld any public cs for months, went on dustworld the other day and saw that everytime someone gets killed its an automatic reaction to blaim their death on the other person sponging etc.

as phllly fez said, 90% of the time its most likely that they just missed. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Dont think you can really call it UK Championships as it has no backing or history from recognised organisers, such as WCG, CPL, ESWC, CB, etc etc.

It's just a lan at Unicon with prize money.... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
