WCG Final: SK.swe Victorious

Posted by Protex at 11:16 18/10/2003.

In the early hours of this morning the WCG Final took place in Korea between tournament favourites SK.swe and American giant 3D. The details for the final are as follows:

The map choices were de_dust2 and de_train with the scores being:

Well played to both teams and SK.swe come out victorious without losing a map the whole competition. They now walk away with a cool $40,000 for their troubles leaving the final CS standings as:

  1. SK.swe
  2. 3D
  3. Team9
  4. TeG

Now we can begin to look forward to next year where teams will battle it out in San Fransisco to determine who is the top team. Will an American side be able to pull off a victory on home soil? Or will the Swedes remain dominant. Only time will tell.

americans always have the upperhand in the WCG since they never have foreign players so dont need to worry about mercing - if SK had feilded their normal lineup they would have taken 3D more easily. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

elemeNt is just as good as SpawN and was implemented into the team with 2-3 weeks of bootcamping. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Macca - 3D had to sub in Boms for that Canadian guy, he had a little more time to pracc than SpawN I agree but both teams were in the same situation :) Think Boms is a full member now, because zEx folded [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

SK w/out ElemenT (i.e b4) a good team of indivduals, no amazing tacs, showboating team. ElemenT comes in, 1 week later hes captain of a team playing for over a year together.

ElemenT > extremely important to SK, he won them the CPL's tactically.

SpawN a merc, who if was as good as ele, they would kick someone and ask him to join [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

the only person i could see them removin is fisker, but i think they will just add spawn 2 the squad if anything. but honestly i cant even see them doing that, he is an amazing player but SK's squad is proven to be unbeatable so there is no point them changing anything. although element is a different nationality that would be the only reason for replacing him with spawn.

element in my eyes is the best player in the world and truthfully there is no point replacing him. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Why would element leave sk. He gets a wage, loads of prize money, garanteed top 3 in everysingle event in the world, a amazing setup computer.

Lets not forget his contract, whatever the terms are, with wages invovled i am sure there is some legalality involved. So as for element leaving that aint happening, i am sure he accepted the fact he aint swedish a given for him going to a swedish only event. Ne way 40,000 to SK is nothing in prize money, their WC3 player got more than the CS players.

Spawn may come in, but they wont get rid of fisker, since he is their only awp (element there is a waste). ahl is amazing, potti, heaton and element = redicoulsy good, so they arent gonna change team, WCG is a one off, nearly all teams were either weak, or half of sweden werent there. CPL's - 2 of final 3 = swedish, so really undermines the event. I suppose or not [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Thats the thing about SpawN, he absolutley dominated with the awp @ wcg. What SK were arguably lacking (their team is amazing with or without spawn) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I know for a fact hes p***ed off with being benched all the time. If he stays in SK, for 3-4 months in the 3/4 quarter he doesn't play at all. Afaik he wants to play more and not miss out on WCG. On top of that has it ever occured to you he might not be settled? Don't matter if they give u a f***ing new pc or money, he might not like it there full stop [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

now that the regional based comps are out of the way (i.e WCG quals and WCG event itself) ElemenT should be looking at running team fully again and flat out owning for CPL's. Although if he is p***ed off past the point of return then spawn could be a good replacement, and i am sure element has given alot of insight into how to make tacs work flat out.

+ didnt spawn join NiP for like 2weeks, thus really familar with heaton / potti / ahl ? which would be a good replacement.

I am sure Dark and xenon are a bit miffed about not being able to play much with 4K cos of WCG ;). [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Norway dosn't have a WCG qualifier so whatever clan Element/Dark are in wont go to WCG unless the quals change. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
