WCG2010 USA Online Qualifiers

Only a few days ago, I posted a news item detailing Splash Damage's request for a team to represent America at this year's World Cyber Games in Los Angeles, California. With a few teams signing up, the fairest way to decide who would represent USA was to host an online qualifying competition. Tonight, that competition starts, and we have 1 match from each round available for viewing on ETQW TV or on video stream.

Round 1 - Tonigh @ 21:00 EST (03:00 CET)
First off, we have Team Decimated go up against AmeriMIX on Ark. This will be Decimated's first match in a long time after them coming out of "retirement" due to the inactivity of competitive ET:QW. AmeriMIX, however, have yet to play a game as a team, so this should be interesting. They're a bunch of guys who have continued to play the game.

Round 2 - Tonight @ 21:50 EST (03:50 CET)
Next up is The Art of Warfare vs. Team Fate on Quarry, a map that's fresh to the competitive map pool and has be especially been drafted due to it being included in the Quake Wars Online map pool. TAW boast about being the largest clan in ET:QW with a massive amount of 160 members (Yes, you read that right, one hundred and sixty!!), but how will they play against a Team Fate squad full of experience and skill? This should be one interesting matchup.

Round 3 - Tonight @ 22:40 EST (04:40 CET)
We will be seeing TAW back on the screens again as the face another "oldschool" team, Team HOT on Refinery, a map which is notorious for double fullholds until ETQWPro removed the MCP objective, however, this is in a vanilla environment, so the MCP has been re-added again. Will be see another double fullhold on this map? Will HOT be able to show the ETQW TV viewer that they are still the team they once were? Tune in to find out.



Enjoy the games and be sure to look out for tomorrow's matches.
