All of the games from the first week in the third nations cup have now been played. Not really any suprises with Sweden, Finland and The Netherlands all winning. Here are the results:Group AOnly three quarters of the Sweden vs. Russia game were played due to the m19 contingent for Russia having poor connections. You can't help but wonder what the score would have been if Russia had managed to keep a stable connection.
Austria 39 - 9 Estonia
Sweden 24 - 12 Russia
Group BFinland showed why they have finished in the top 3 in both the previous tournaments with an impressive win over Spain. The United Kingdom were narrowly beaten by a strong Dutch team in a good game on de_nuke and de_prodigy. The game was won in the 3rd quarter where the Dutch team managed to get 7 rounds in a row, the UK team answered back by winning the next 5 but it was a bit too late for it to have a full impact.
Finland 37 - 11 Spain
Netherlands 28 - 20 United Kingdom
Group CA strong performance by Germany all round, you can't help but feel they may have an impact in the later rounds this year. Well done to Iceland who overcame Switzerland despite having a massive ping disadvantage.
Iceland 27 - 21 Switzerland
Germany 41 - 7 Belgium
Group DDenmark forfeited their game against Norway and Poland showed why they were able to defeat France in the qualifiers with a nice solid performance against Slovakia.
Poland 32 - 16 Slovakia
Norway 48 - 0 Denmark
Well played to all the teams. For a list of this weeks fixtures and all the latest news and information on the tournament check out the Nations Cup website.

but saying that after all the controversy about the team being picked and the management of it i think it's quite poor that they did have no practice at all up till now (after it's started and cost them a game)
url to any hltv demos ?
better luck next time [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

13:37, 2/12/2002 it's a shame that people like Toomy and Xs weren't picked for UK team, they were really impressive at CPL quals.
