CGS fnatic win!

image: cgs_logo_2The Championship Gaming series UK & European combine is underway at Omega Sektor in Birmingham. The tournament has drawn the worlds best in CS:Source, DOA, FIFA & Forza however for Crossfire our eyes are glued to both the CoD4 tournament and Crossfire favourite Sweden feruS who is hottly tipped to get drafted into either of the CS:Source teams!

The tournaments are just about to start and the seeds have trickled out though they're a little sketchy at the moment. We have confirmation that Fnatic are seeded 1st & Dignitas are seeded second, with Spain Wizzards (aka blacksouls) third and then L3 in fourth. There are 15 teams in total, with another notable name being Reason Gaming. There is unfortunately no streaming of the tournament.

feruS watch has begun with the Swede giving his best interview yet which will be uploaded to TheCGS.com this weekend which will fuel the fire that is the tug of war between the Berlin Allianz and Stockholm Magnetik both of whom will want to pick up the player who has just turned 18 and thus old enough to play in the CGS. The prize is a full contract for him to the team and he will compete both locally and live on DirecTV in LA later this summer.

We'll be keeping you updated with the results as soon as they become available, though the tournament isnt due to start for a little while.

Update

FeruS has played and won his first game with the Stockholm Magnetik though it is expected he may be picked up by Berlin for a challenge match also.

You have to be 18 to get into OS for the event anyway, so don't waste your time trying! :(
Parent
to watch? why? :o
Parent
Don't know, at least thats what I heard somewhere, so you might want to check before going down there.
Parent
I'm not going anyway ;p
Parent
cool, so if i goto eswc will you come spec me? \o/
Parent
if it's at omega sektor then for sure
Parent
I wonder if i understood that system right
A city gets picked to build up a team and then can pick players to play for them ?
Do the players have any say in this ?
The cities don't really play a significant role in the CGS right now, its just to give the franchises a better public appeal.
Parent
how come my filter didnt remove this ='(
np for Poland Bondar in FIFA!
is each member of a team paid the same each season i.e c:ss players paid the same as the DoA players and so on?
is it gonna be on eurosport 2?
question: when a big team wins a big prize does all the players get the same amount of money then? Or is it like, the captain gets more, or the "star" gets more?
all get the same amount, I'd expect some mega whine if any member gets more.

for that reason it's a TEAM, let's say mAus was the star of old-TLR, but he needed clown to repair tank, me to give him ammo to let him kill. In a good team all players are "the star" ^^
Parent
hehe :D you're a star mate!
Parent
PLEASe as if maus is any good!
Parent
as if u would give ammo !
Parent
Actually the franchise player (captain) gets more than protected players (4) who get more than the others
Parent
thats salary not prizemoney afaik
Parent
Oh right yeah, I misread the question
Parent
how much does each player get every month?
OVER NINE THOUSAND
Parent
omg where are the ferus fanboys? the u96d times are defenitely over :(
well im not that oldsql
aehm was the ferus hype big like mystic or maus these days ?
and why was he so hyped ?
Parent
back in the saevus/u96d days ferus and mystic were equal, and mystic was at his prime (with parodia), so at that time he was pretty big
Parent
streams? :x
HeatoN as manager and feruS as player = FUCKING AY!
My guess is that Berlin Allianz will draft feruS
who the fuck cares
Apoligies for pretty shitty coverage i've got a billion things to do here!
shame on you, i better browse readmore!
