CPL London update

Posted by Fluke at 13:08 4/8/2001.

"The Counter-strike groups have been selected, but there will only be three teams in each group due to some clans not showing. Each map, won gives a point, and if a team wins both maps they recieve 3 points. The 2 teams with most points in each group moves on.

The clans are playing right now and the games can be followed live on quakenet @ #elsa.cpl.cslive1 - 4. CSA.sca won their first match against UKLA, but unfortunately they weren't able to defeat NiP who won dust2 17 - 4. Allstars faced aT on de_Train and managed to get 10 rounds as T, against aT's 6. No surprises yet - the favorites has won their matches.

More results coming up..."

While UK Gamer report on some of the CPL London gossip floating around:

• A £15,000 Cisco Catalyst switch has been stolen from the tournament area.... This has caused problems with the lan, and might have been the reason pings were spiking to 70ms earlier.
  
• GTV is unlikely to be running through the course of the event. Licensing problems which weren't sorted out mean that the CPL will probobly not be able to run GTV servers. This is a huge blow to the hundreds of people that wanted to view the games over the 'net.
  
• The BYOC area is virtually empty, with only a handfull of gamers present. It is free to come down (I suppose they couldn't have a major competition run with about 15 people in the BYOC), so come on down.
