Gainward UK CPL Qualifier - The Northampton Heat

Posted by Fluke at 18:24 2/7/2002.

DeadMode (PC Gaming Supervisor at The IT Centre) has written up an extensive review of last Saturday's Northampton Heat for the Gainward CPL UK Qualifier. The four clans in attendence were ERM, Special Operations 19, Desolation and Fluid Element - with ERM of course winning the event:
Upper bracket match 1 : First up were top seeds erm vs fourth seeds Fluid Element (fl.e) on map DE_INFERNO. fl.e certainly had a tough fixture on their hands in this match. erm were the favourites for this heat, and their form right from the start showed why. Having won the first round, erm quickly established their dominance as CT and locked down the main routes through to the bomb sites. fl.e bided their time until the fourth round at which point they could afford some decent weapons for the first time. fl.e-SG obviously revelling in having something other than a Glock to fire went on a rampage with his AWM and managed 3 kills in a row. The round ended with just 2 erm left vs 1 fl.e, but erm managed to overwhelm the last man and win the round. The rest of the rounds passed quite quickly with erm winning most rounds comfortably.
The full article can be found here. And remember the UK CPL Finals themselves take place next Saturday at the same venue.

There was a qualifier in Leeds on Monday(!) which Inept won. Bit of a s***ty day to have it imo but im sure they had their reasons.

I heard that Spherical wasn't able to defuse the bomb when he'd taken out the last 4 enemies because the button he had to defuse wasn't working properly on the keyboard, and he didn't realise until it came to time to use it [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Keefe, it might be a similar bug to the one I had at PS2002. You cant prime grens and hold them or plant the bomb unless u hold another key at the same time. So if you duck and plant ur fine. Bit s***ty cos I even took my mouse drivers with me :/. Strange to have it with the use button though. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The Bulls did win it in red in the 90s when they had MJ, but the Lakers have won it the past 3 years straight.... wearing yellow (or gold, but close enough).

I think we may have stumbled across something here. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Oh wait, they did. :P

On a further note, Danny (spherical) almost managed anpther 4v1 as T on inferno, only he couldn't plant the bomb. Cue cries slating dodgy keyobards/configs, until someone pointed out he was trying to defuse rather than plant.

Oh danny....

GIT OOOOT!!!! :P [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
