UKT LAN #5 - Update

Posted by arsen at 22:47 16/9/2003.

Clans for UKT 5, the fifth event in the UKTerrorist LAN Championship series, will be announced tomorrow. We have more than the 30 signups we can accept so unfortunately some teams that want to come will not be able to. Don't fear however, as teams not accepted this time around will have a better chance of attending UKT 6 in November before the UKT primary Strike championships in early December.

As for news regarding CS 1.5/1.6 and other issues, at present we are not entirely sure how Valve will accomodate LAN centres, after annoucing the upcoming release of a special LAN version of the STEAM software, we will wait another couple of days before making a final ruling.

One important thing to note, due to the issues regarding the controversial Tactical Shield, if 1.6 were to be used at the event, the option will either be disabled at UKT5, or we will rule that teams are not allowed to use it.

If you were wondering about which maps will be used at UKT5, I can reveal the following maps will be played (in no particular order):

de_dust2, de_aztec, de_nuke, de_train and de_inferno

Finally, with regards to the 'Shoutbox Banter' claiming the LAN is to be cancelled, this is obviously not the case and couldn't be further from the truth!

tbh it makes sense just using 1.5 all clans have practices on 1.5 and the new maps on 1.6 will mess up tactics no doubt, n with the added extra's of the bugs...makes more sense using 1.5

for christ sake take a hint and take Aztec out of the map list.

Noone likes it, its a completely CT biased map, and the weaker haven't a shadow of a hope at competing on it against the better more skilled teams.

stupid map!!

replace it with mill or fire [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

aztec looks if anything T biased now in 1.6, terrorists have control of the double door snipers.

if 1.6 can be played at lan why not, it would be one of the first tournys to use it would it not and make some intresting play than 1.5 where we know which teams are gonna win what. 1.6 could put a twist on to that. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

bwahah it was me that started asking if it was canceled, and look, an update ! On another note the boxes on aztec t bridge room have been moved together so T's effectivly have one place to come from rather than two, not much fun, also the spawn pits are a device from satan.

The more maps the better. Though I generally hate playing aztec, it should still be in the map list. CS gets boring when only 2-3 maps are played.

I think UKT should be 1.6 if they can get it to work at the lan centre. I have played some public with the shield, the hit boxes are f***ed and with the bugs I think it should be banned from play. Atleast until the fix the it. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

arsen, I think rhyzz is right and people do generally dislike aztec. I'm not sure about the idea of bringing in fire or mill - great maps they are but isn't there some kinda copyright protection like tournaments using the CPL gui, I wouldnt have thought they're allowed to use the cpl maps either - but i dunno!. but either way, get aztec outta there, id much rather see cbble in.
