ESWC: 4Kings 7 zEx 16

Posted by arsen at 09:40 12/7/2003.

*****UPDATE*****

First Half Result: 4K 3 - 12 zEx

Second Half Result: 4K 4 - 4 zEx

Final Score 4K 7 - 16 zEx

zEx turned out to be too strong for 4Kings, so they'll now face bz in the losers bracket.

*****/UPDATE*****

In under 20 minutes, Four Kings Intel will take part in the most important game this year for a British team. They face off against (arguably) North Americas finest, Clan zEx. If they were to emerge victorious, 4K may then face the un-enviable challenge of beating favourites and (again, arguably) the best team in the World, Schroet Kommando. There will be hundreds of people tuning into HLTV to watch the game, so it's advisable to reserve your spot now.

Here's the vital details:

All that remains is for me to wish 4K good luck and remind them that the whole of the UK is behind them.

why are you assuming that 4k will win, and assuming that sk will win? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

zEx's players had consitency, bar Mangiacapra all of 4k made mistakes that led to their downfall. z£x's skill and aggressive tactics won the day, but good innings and some lessons for 4k. My prediction is that before the next major tourney Wright is out of the starting 5. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

zEx just too quick + too clever

liquid didnt make any mistakes that lead to their downfall, that comment is full of crap, they were just outplayed by a better team, end of story.

Should be able to beat Bz though, gl [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

To clear up the arene thing about paying and 5 min discons and things;

Originally no coverage of the event would be available for free. However, CSers protested, so they decided to make the CS coverage free. This means ONLY the HLTV of the championship matches, ALL other coverage you have to pay for. So, when there's a CS cup match being played, the HLTV server appears in arene and you can watch it. But when there's no CS cup games going on, you're not even supposed to be on the arene software, so they say if you don't pay within 5 mins they'll cut you off; hence the message in the top left.

mangia + xenon didnt make major mistakes imo. wright + shaq made loads. like there 4 zex at b, 1 at A making diversion... the one zex at A killed 3 4k by himself.. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Yeah Liquid didnt, thats my point. The rest did. The amount of times I saw zEx take advantage of 4k players not looking round corners or checking behind them, losing eco rounds etc... Marc is a top class world player for sure, the rest just wernt consistent enough.

From #ukterrorist

[11:07:28] <amarc> all 5 zex were much better than wright, shaq and harri
[11:07:32] <amarc> mind you
[11:07:39] <amarc> harri/lil did some great awping
[11:07:46] <Greendude`> harri has done poor this tourny imo
[11:07:56] <Greendude`> normal expect so much from him
[11:07:57] <andyuk> zex is all bout the skill. and teh hax :D
[11:08:08] <amarc> but in terms of consistency all 5 zEx were better than 4k bar marc all game

Didnt reflect my full opinion in the post. 4k were outclassed, might have been tighter without some of the mistakes, as on paper 4k are perhaps closer than the scoreline suggests. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Like to see 4K vs zEx on dust2/nuke, i think it maybe different.

Mangia is the only 4k player to play well consistantly in this tourny. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

As on paper means dick though, zEx's roster contains 2 players who've been inactive for a month, and there's been this hoo-hah recently with their member playing for 3D at WCG etc. - talk about preparation? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

all of them made loads of little mistakes that cost them rounds through the tournament, need to make mistakes to learn from them though, 4k dont get to play decent opposition regularly (on lan) like many of these teams do. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

What were their tactics? It was nothing special....that's the problem people always seem to forget, they think to be a better team it's about the tactics.
It's not, it's about killing, all zex did was play carefully, they moved up to 1 bomb site, they picked up shaq and xenon, because those 2 were pushing up every round, and getting picked off easilly on their own, then rest of team is stretched and zex went other site....

Happened over and over.....and again with sunman, i was looking foward to watching him, cause i'd heard a lot about him. Another player who's a frag whore, the back stabber...people look too much into the scoreboard than the game....he picked up A LOT of easy kills. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
