GameFrontier have announced a preliminary list of teams for the forthcoming UK leg of the CPL World Tour. The stop, held at the Magna Centre in Sheffield from the 1st - 4th September next month, hosts not only the standard PK competition, but additionally a $10,000 CS event and an $8000 CS female competition. This promises to be the biggest UK CS event in over a year with an opportunity for ambitious UK teams to leave their imprint upon the world's elite.
The preliminary list of accepted teams are as follows:
MensWomens
- Begrip
- MiBR
- Team9
- Mousesports
- Abit Strike
- AllTheRage
- Clan IT
- mTw
- Catch Gamer
- 4Kings
- Les Seules
- LadieS.Brazil
- 6tence.amd
- Catz Girls
- Got Game Team
- SKY
- Fainted
Further teams will be confirmed shortly. Unfortunately at present only two UK sides, 4K.Intel and the newly formed AllTheRage line-up, have been accepted to compete at the event. Hopefully, akin to the Turkish, Spanish and Brazilian legs of the WT, more teams from the host nation will be allowed to compete. Click here for more information on this event.

Why Eat It
These bivalves are, for the most part, caught in local waters. Easterners eat Atlantic clams, and Westerners enjoy Pacific varieties, but similar types of clams are harvested--dug from the sand at low tide or scooped from beds in deeper waters--on each coast. They are available all year.
Clams may be hard-shelled or soft-shelled. The edible portion may consist of the muscles that operate the shell; the siphon, or neck (through which the bivalve takes in water); and the foot, which it extends from the shell to propel itself through sand. In general, clams are sweet and a bit chewy; flavor and relative tenderness depend on the size and species.
Varieties
Geoduck: The Pacific geoduck is a large soft-shell clam weighing two to four pounds, with sweet, tasty flesh. It can be shucked and sauteed, and it also makes a tasty chowder.
Quahog: The hard-shelled clam called a quahog is the largest eastern type, ranging from about 1 1/2" to 6" across. The clams called cherrystones and littlenecks are not different species, but just smaller-sized quahogs: Cherrystones measure less than 3" across, littlenecks about 2" to 2 1/2" (there is also a West Coast clam called a littleneck, though it's a different species). Full-sized quahogs are sometimes called chowder clams, as they can be tough and are best cut up and cooked. (Depending on size, cooked quahogs are used in chowder or baked with a crumb stuffing.)
Razor clam: Wide razor clams are named for their resemblance to an old-fashioned straight razor and the sharpness of their shells; usually steamed, they are commercially marketed on the West Coast, but not in the East. These razor clams are sometimes available in Asian and specialty seafood markets.
Steamer: A third type of eastern clam is the soft-shelled steamer, which has a long siphon that projects from its thin, brittle shell. As the name suggests, this type of clam--about 2" long--is usually steamed, but it can also be shucked and then sauteed or deep-fried.
Surf clam: Also called a sea clam, skimmer clam, or chowder clam, the surf clam is the most common eastern species. Large and comparatively tough, it is commonly cut up and used in recipes; most surf clams are canned.
Butter clam: A small Pacific clam.
Pismo clam: Large Pismo clams, found on the California coast, are scarce and delicious.
Availability
Clams are sold fresh, in the shell, or shucked and packed in their own juices (liquor). You can also buy shucked clams frozen or canned. They are available in one form or another year-round.
Shopping
In many states, the harvest of clams is monitored by the National Shellfish Sanitation Program. Packaged shellfish bear a sticker from the state agency; items sold in bulk have a tag that the fish dealer should show you on request (although there's no way of proving that the tag came with the shellfish you're buying). As with finfish, your nose and eyes can tell you a lot about the merchandise. Clams should smell briny-fresh.
Clams that are sold live offer specific signals of freshness: They should be tightly closed (so that you can't pull them apart), or should close tightly when the shell is tapped; don't buy clams with open or cracked shells. Clams that seem especially heavy for their size should be avoided as they may be full of sand. The protruding necks of soft-shell clams should retract when you touch them.
Freshly shucked clams should smell perfectly fresh, with no trace of ammonia or a "fishy" smell. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

No offence to these guys, but they really don't have a clue sometimes (CPL two years ago, seeding landed above c4u after c4u drew with sk...).
Now, they are disallowing high skilled UK teams from entering, having already told teams the like of Choke, ctx, and g4c to f*** off (in a nice, non-biased manner of course). I have no idea if c4u are to enter, and if they do whether they'll be caught with CS instead of WoW on their pcs is another matter entirely.
