Rixhack reaches final stages

Posted by Liq at 14:00 7/5/2005.

After large delays over the first two days the Counter-Strike event at Rixhack finally got under way yesterday with the initial group stages. While the turnout isn't what might be expected at an international event there is still an impressive set of teams including Ninjas in Pyjamas, team9, Clan-IT, Wings and of course the UK team endEffect. There is also several talented mix teams attending, most notably Skolpojkarna2 who have the Swedish 4Kings stars GoodFella and Red playing for them, along with dsn, cArn and Snajdan. Others include the EYEBALLERS mix team and Qteam with an eclectic lineup containing cogu of mibr, ex-adrenaline player quick and the UKT favourite midway from GotFrag.

The group stages yielded few surprises, however there was one big shock as the EYEBALLERS mix team mentioned above (archie, Bullen, zaffe, speedi, Zad) were knocked out of the tournament after losing to the relatively unknown Danish team Chemistry. Moving into the double elimination bracket, NiP and Skolpojkarna2 have both looked particularly impressive, while the only real surprise is the disappointing performance of SSV-Lehnitz who won just one game inbetween losing to BEVARA and Clan-IT. endEffect were also unfortunately knocked out of the tournament after losing consecutive games to team9 and zeNit. Here is a full recap of the results so far:

haha mystikal spoke to his mum too, said something along the lines of, "he's been raped by a black man called SpawN". The LAN was fun and was nice to talk to some people we play against online! Was also a good experience and as neil said, win some, lose some! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
