GotFrag ESWC Preview

Posted by St_George at 11:50 8/7/2003.

Keeping on the theme that is the ESWC, our friends across the pond at gotFrag have put together a rather detailed look at the teams competing in the event. Here's a tidbit from the preview on our very own 4Kings:

Aside from Team 9, it would not be a stretch to say that 4K is the most strategical clan in the world. 4K's star player, Mangiacapra, is easily the most underrated player in the world. He is comparatively unknown amongst his peers but possesses the skill and smarts of a top player. Just like his team, he is tactical and will often try to outsmart his opponent as opposed to outgunning them. In fact, this seems to be the team philosophy of 4K. They normally play in a very isolated area with a small number (if any) world-class clans, so they might be used to just outskilling their opponents which will surely not work against some of the clans at ESWC.

For those of you who haven't seen it already, be sure to check it out.

well seeing as France hasn't been very good at arranging LANs in the past and their hltv coverage has been truly dire. You would think that they would try and get it right and working properly, before they start introducing pay per view CS. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Hmm, in that bit about 4K... they're a clan that concentrate heavily on tactics, this is their strong point. Their weak point is they may be used to outskilling clans. Now aren't those two kind of contradictory? :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
