Well we really have a top CS tournament here dont we lol.
TBH totally frank looks like a complete waste of time to me with 1 or 2 half decent clans playing.
Before peeps flame here to current top 30 ranking clans in the world.
1st Schroet Kommando (SE)
2nd Mousesports (DE)
3rd Team64 (formerly Gamepoint.AMD) (SE)
4th NoA (NO)
5th Made in Brazil (BR)
6th Destination Skyline (FI)
7th g3x.Intel (BR)
8th 4 Kings Intel (GB)
9th GateKeepers (DK)
10th United 5 (US)
11th Team Stomping Grounds (US)
12th Death is Eternal (US)
13th Titans (DK)
14th Team 3D (US)
15th Evil Geniuses (CA)
16th Rival (US)
17th Forsaken (US)
18th GameWyze (US)
19th zEx (US)
20th Texas Area Untouchables (US)
21st Echo7 (US)
22nd zero fade (US)
23rd Team TEC (US)
24th c9 - Enemy Down (US)
25th riot-squad (US)
26th Evolution (US)
27th Punto CL (UN)
28th vic (SE) 77.
29th Confederacy (US)
30th Unitary Guerilla Platoon (US)
Now lets play how many of those clans can you peeps spot playing in this tournament?
It would have been far better for the UK to send a team to ENC Finals Special Series
than play in another farce of a tournament.
No wonder the UK is lagging behind @ CS.Unfortunatley this is only gonna get worse as I see hardly any of the top clans playing CZ
or Source (games that are a hellva lot closer to what CS is gonna be like than the current version of CS . [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Everyone knows the ENC Nations Cup is another CB Nations Cup (i.e. mix teams of the best players in the country with minimal practice, all relying on their skill and whatever quickly scraped together tactics they have) with a bit of money at the end of it. I fail to see how participating in this would stop us becoming a top European CS nation. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Of course not.Its basically the same with this tournament.We all know its gonna be the same teams winning we know its
gonna get like 20 secs at the most on childrens TV(if its lucky).
The coverage of ENC is huge German Swedish Finish TV are all covering it.
Just look at the quality of the teams
Sweden
Heaton
Hyper
Spawn
Villden
Walle
Germany
Hazz
Blizzard
Roman.R
R4id
todi
CHEF-KOCH
We really have to look at the wider picture than just here in the UK.Our best players should be playing against the best in the world.What we have here is a nice little UK comp that aint really gonna help CS in the UK.
However winning the ENC would go a long way to making the UK more of a force within CS than it currently is.One USA m8 of mine laughed when he saw the teams playing at the EOGC.He had heard of 1 thats 4k.
To me thats says it all as he knew every player playing for Sweden and germany and what clans they were from.Were falling behind the rest of the world at CS.
Playing the EOGC instaed of the ENC is shortsighted and wont help the UK CS Scene at all. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I noticed in UK competitions LAN and Online there is very lillte interest in hltv/shoutcast coverage.
There are always like 20-40 people watching a match, where as in SWE, GER and the USA it's going from a few hundred up to a few thousand people.

What are you on about I never mentioned anything to do with USA teams.As its a Nations cup I fail to see how USA teams could be involved.
If you actually took the time to read my comments you will see that the only competition that would benefit from Teams from the USA would be EOGC thats EOGC not ENC :)
I think you want to read what I actually wrote before replying. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Funniest top 30 ranking I've ever seen, and if your American mate hasn't heard of teams like D-Skyline or GoodGame it's more of a testament to how little he knows about the european CS scene than how poor the standard is at EOGC. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
