It's All About The Ping Baby!

XceeD, UKTerrorist's newest member of staff, has written his first article for the site. 'It's Just The Ping...' is about the UK CS clan scene and how it has been affected by the very poor rollout of broadband in the UK, in comparison to Scandinavia or Germany:

"The UK's first Professional Gamer, Sujoy, had to move away from the UK purely because our phone companies were unable to deliver the specifications he needed to carry out what he would say was "doing his job". If you've ever played Q3 with a 56k connection and 200 ping you will remember how frustrating it was having to guess where your enemy was going to move because when you fired there was a substantial delay between the cause and effect, or pushing the mouse button and then seeing that rail gun blast across your screen."

He also had a few questions about the subject that he put to two members of the UK's finest clans (4K and noc.uk), [4K^Oppie] and -|noc.Rock|-.

It's a great first article from XceeD and I'm sure we'll see more in the near future. Feel free to leave your comment or drop by the UKT Forums.
