Counter Strike: Source

The Counter-Strike: Source tournament has been Multiplay's most popular prize competition for as long as anyone can remember - the source community has proven itself to be one of the main supporters of the i-Series over the years.

Thus, because the source community is so awesome, Multiplay are more than happy to put up €12,000 in prizes (in addition to the €36,000 they have put up since last year!)



Call of Duty 4

Call of Duty 4 exploded onto the i-Series scene at i32 and since then it hasn’t looked back. The second largest game area at the LAN, this popular first-person shooter has been won by Team Dignitas at i32 & i33, with LowLandLions winning i34!

This evening the PCGamer Showdown qualification tournament finshed, after emuLate! have sadly taken a default lose in the lower bracket final against Reason Gaming. This of course means that Reason Gaming will be joining London Mint for the winning prize of free entry at the PC Gamer Showdown event at the end of September and a pass through the group stages. Our team, although only recently recruited had a final finishing position of 5/6, so they like many others will be fighting it out at the event through the group stages.

According to many sources the upper bracket final between these two is unlikely to be played, with nothing to gain or at stake for both teams.

Final Standings

London Mint (qualified)
Reason Gaming (qualified)
emuLate!

4 Aversion
5/6 ZEN
5/6 Team Coolermaster
7/8 Team 123
7/8 Imageless 2

500 gamers will battle it out at the awesome Stoneleigh Park venue on 27th and 28th of September in a bid to get their hands on thousands of pounds worth of cash prizes. Teams will be able to win big cash prizes including: Team Fortress 2 (£15,000) Counter-Strike: Source (£10,000) Call of Duty 4 (£5,000) and World of Conflict (£5,000).

Good luck to our team and all those attending the event.

After taking a small break from the Counter Strike Source scene after our previous squad decided to call it a day we have decided to pick up the swedish based side Pause Gaming who have been surprising a lot of teams and also making large dents already!

The team is fairly new within the scene after being together for about a month however they are very motivated and have a huge amount of potential which they are currently showing online. The team made it through to the Playoffs of the PCGamer online Qualifers after beating Reason Female, RevolutionEA and our old CSS Squad 16-9, however suffered a loss vs emuLate! of 7 - 16 on de_train. Which meant that they were put through to the playoffs where they were knocked out by Aversion and emuLate! again this time a close match of 10-16.

Statement Dan "rapture" Humphrey, Team Coolermaster Manager: "After watching them play online and spending time talking with the guys on vent I knew they are the team we want to represent Team Coolermaster. Even though the team has only been together for a short time they have so much potential to become a top team and I feel that they have the dedication and skill to get there! We will be working closely with them over the next months to help progress and grow."
