What do we know about zeroPoint?
A short overview about the history of zeroPoint
The zeroPoint team was formed in September 2006. Its all starting with QuakeCon 2006, saying "after coming 2nd at Quakecon I found myself enjoying gaming again.The next event was the Crossfire PrizeFight Challenge at Rotterdam, where the zeroPoint side was already beginning to take shape, with half the lineup in the shape of Potter, Darky and Gifty in competition under the Tosspot & Friends banner.
It was a short step to bring Darky and Potter's ex-saevus teammate Rapture into the fold, and from there they were two short of a full lineup. At this point, fate played into the hands of the Austrian trio - Butchji and Hatred joined up after riZe gaming folded, which happened by coincidence. So after all you can say Dallas, Rotterdam and the folding of a clan were needed to create this new team.
zeroPoint's strengths
Darky believes that zeroPoint have several advantages over the competition. The first is the balance found in the team; "Our strength is that we fit together - we've got the aggressive players with aim like they're the devil himself. We've got the defensive players who back them up and we've got the supporters who jump in wherever they find a weakness to back our team up," he states. Also, he says, they have "the individual talent - the guys are really flexible and beside their gaming strength they are all really great people. They accept and respect each other which makes it easier and more fun to play than with any other team."
While acknowledging that the players most likely to garner the support of the fans are butchji and gifty, known for their signature multikills, Darky goes on to maintain that every member of the team is important. The team, he says, is well built, stating "if you look at the team from the inside you'd know that everyone does what is needed - hatred, potter, rapture - I wouldn't dare to give them any less credit then butchji or gifty. All of our players are on the top - otherwise they wouldn't be in this team."

The way zeroPoint made to the losers bracket final
Groupstage
zeroPoint started in group A together with mQ, uQ and Netrunners. Three big names again in this group and with mQ being a dangerous outsider noone is sure about winning this group.
zeroPoint vs mQ 4-2
In a very intense clanwar with zeroPoint losing a map against an outsider. Will this be the start of a good thing for zeroPoint or will this end with more maps they are going to lose in the next games?
Player of the match: butchji
zeroPoint vs Netrunners 4-0
zeroPoint set up a chance to win group A with a stylish victory over an out of shape Netrunners side, who were forced to play without two of their starting six.
After a far closer game on supply than many expected, zP! looked like they were going to set a record time on frostbite - it didn't quite happen, but they were still too fast for NETR, and took a relatively easy victory.
Players of the match: butchji
zeroPoint vs uQ 4-0
ZeroPoint made it clear they wanted that first place in the group to prevent meeting idle.ee too soon in the playoffs. They beat uQ in both braundorf and radar with strong defences and fast attacks.
