ENC - TeamUK Announcement

Posted by cobbeh at 13:25 2/2/2004.

Today, TeamUK announced their Counter-Strike and WarCraft 3 line-ups for the upcoming European Nations Championship. The Counter-Strike team will be in Group A for the competition, which should be quite tough for them, here's the group:

United Kingdom
Ireland
Spain
Portugal
France
Italy

Here is the full TeamUK.cs lineup:

Anisty (director/team manager)
Protex (team manager)

I-eS|Luck1ng (team captain)
I-eS|aKuJii
I-eS|DArtagnan
4K^Harriman
4K^Mangiacapra
TAG.ZaG
TAG.Shackleton

As you can see, Anisty and Protex have decided on using a mix from what many people would say are the top 3 clans in the country. An obvious benefit of this is that they can hopefully utilze their teamwork together. Definitely a team that has the potential to do well, but only time will tell how it all turns out. If you're interested, you can also check out the TeamUK.WC3 team.

Feel free to pop into their IRC channel, which is #TeamUK on Quakenet. Good luck everyone.

It snuck up from the enc admins doing a good job of keeping the teams quiet until we were ready.

For those who doubt the ability of my barnet in team management you'll be pleased to note that we have the excellent protex on board working with the team. Protex will select the team lineup for every match in wc3 and CS and his experience makes him a valuable asset.

I believe this has the potential of being one of the best teams for any national gaming event and with the community's support we'll do very well indeed.

The top 2 teams from each group then go forward to the LAN final in cologne for 20,000 euros of prize money. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I'm responsible for running the UK Team as a whole this means the following :

- selecting managers
- raising sponsors
- arranging travel and events
- arranging merchandise
- coordinating with uk managers and the ENC management
- facilitating the smooth running of events
- dealing with the media [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

rofl sponsors for an online only league, we already have a nations cup, why on earth is there a european cup. Just doesn't seem feesable.

Also, ZaG plays much more than keiju, and therefore deserves the spot much more, I would also argue he's 'just as good' if not better, due to Keiju's inactivity, but thats just me. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

This is the starting squad I have selected, there is an opportunity as the tournament progresses to introduce new faces to the squad if deemed necessary.

At the present time I feel those selected are more than capable of qualifying and giving France a run for their money. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

As Clanbase NationsCup supervisor I must say personally have been a little suprised when the German (based) ESL league all of a sudden announced a European Nations tournament to compete with the CB NC (would have had expected an international clan competition instead).
Will have to see how this turns out now there will be two competitions for nations teams to play in, one based on experience, the other based on money.

Might turn out to be a matter of the longest breath.. may the best last ;] [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

one based on experience, one based on money.... a very pedantic view i think, the money will simply encourage great play and the ESL admins are all extremely experienced from the ESL Pro League.
