Posted by Zorro- at 21:15 1/8/2004.


We've arrived at this edtion's final day of the biggest and highest anticipated international LAN tournament there.

The CPL Summer event at the Gaylord centre in Dallas, Texas, was brought to you here on UKT all weekend, featuring the world's finest CS teams.

We have enjoyed the tournament so far, seeing quite a few surprises making it a exciting event.

After three exhausting days of competition, there's only one match left on the agenda.

Today, in all Swedish grand final, Schroet Kommando will face EYEballers once again, and will be looking for revenge, knowing they need two maps to win the championship while their opponent only needs one.

This should be one hell of a game. Watch Hyper, if hes on form he'll f***ing dominate. SK will win first map, then EYE will win 2nd map i reckon. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Wow, UK people 8th and 16th, gutted.
Everyone had hopes up when they seen 4k on dust2 vs coL (i Think) they were like "OMG AMAZING PLAY OMG" then they got to confident and got f***ed over by f***ing g3x then NoA . lol...

EYE were like the black horse of that , no one expected em to come this far and rape the f*** out of SK, but they did and i think they played amazing. SK really didnt expect them to become this good..

But you know enjoyed this CPL dallas and cant wait for next one :D

And to be ohnest i think 4kings or TAG aint gonna become top 5 in World. many clans have become extremely good and loads of new clans forming which are gonna become amazing. just wait for CS-Source ;). [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

yeah, all the more reason for them to have scoped out g3x's tactics + countered them, they just bottled it a bit. From the early games it looked like they could go far, but then at the end of the day you have to beat the teams like g3x and NoA (not to mention SK + EYE, the latter of which wouldve destroyed anyone at this tournament) i think they were a long way off in terms of just over powering people when they got to the final stages, was a good showing though, i think the $1,500 prize is a little bit s*** considering the good games they played.

On a different note, 3D flunked out.... again... what are they being salaried for :/ surely a team like u5 or Rival would be better to sponsor if you want to get near/win things, that craig levigne must kiss some serious arse. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

4K are getting lower and lower placings each time, turning scando hasnt helped at all, the good scandos are walking into the latter stages, and the well known scandos are walking into other non scando teams to get the $$$s without proving themselves atm.

Its like Man Utd rushing in and buying Romario now instead of looking and getting Kaka etc.

4K need to look to on form scandos and not money grabbers, similar situaition for TAG too. Shame really marc and stu deserve to get into finals day. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I'd have thought there would be at least a couple of UK players who were good enough to complete the 4K lineup, making some aspects of their organisation easier. I don't personally follow them much anymore since the foreigners joined but i got to admit from what i saw of their games the UK lads pld well, especially Harriman, on train, great skill, very clever play by him.

There's a whole lot more very good european/south american teams going to dallas these days with all that lovely sponsorship, almost all of them really, that it's hard to judge whether 4K's performances are worse or better than they have been previously, probably a bit worse than before but 12-16 is not too bad considering the quality of oppositions (and the pretty tough draw they got compared to some US teams) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Agreed KaM. With their only real success spawning from versions of cs predating 1.6, i think it's safe to say that 1.6 style of CS favours the prepared team. I wouldn'y say 4K looked like they'd spent anywhere near the kind of time EYE did in preparation. EYE & Rival etc looked so well drilled. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
