Rosters:
Cadre: chmpp, kmble, lettu, MulSu, Squall, twidi.
VAE: Sheep, Gotti, fireBall, Iron, vegi, fobje.

And what a match it was. The match started with a delay taking quite long. VAE was ready and waiting on the Finnish side to get ready. Finally both teams were able to play and the match was started. First map Goldrush. Cadre to attack first and they did it fast. I was hardly paying attention when already Cadre had stolen the tank. 00:27 was the official time. Somewhat more then 2 minutes later (02:47) they had blown the Bank Doors with almost no resistance from VAE. Though when the fight in and around the bank commenced Cadre had a bit of a hard time. Still they managed to get the gold to the truck. They took just under 5 minutes (04:53) to secure the gold and the truck fired up. The final time of Cadre was 6:01, a hard one to beat. VAE only managed to steal the tank. But it took them 4 minutes and 25 seconds (04:52) more compared to Cadre to steal it and with Cadre's defense they had no chance of blowing the Bank Doors. They never arrived...

Second map: Radar. Always difficult, for every team, to defend. VAE started their offense. They had to win this one. The first minutes looked promising. VAE had blown the Main Door at 01:51 and they were already heading for the parts. It took them somewhat less then 3 minutes to secure their first parts. After that there was a period of time where the teams were fighting on the West Parts hill. It took VAE very long to get those parts. But finally they made it. At 11:29 the West Parts were secured into the truck and VAE had set a time. But was it enough? Cadre blew the Main Door at 02:14. 23 seconds behind on schedule. They had to get some back at securing the first parts. And they did. They secured the East Parts after 04:07. They were now 17 seconds in front of VAE and they had taken the lead. But there was the West Parts hill again. With the right defense it is as deadly as can be. Time was ticking and it looked hopeful for VAE. They were heading towards a win on Radar which meant a 3rd map. But their dream was crushed. 8 seconds before 00:00 Cadre secured the parts and it was over for VAE.

A very good match with at least one tense map. I'm looking forward to the next matches in the EC.

Original Preview:

Tonight will bring us two matches to look forward to. First of all we'll have Insignia Cadre versus Vicious and Evil. My first reaction when I saw Cadre take the match versus Dignitas was: "lucky number two that has to play the number one of Group A". Which turned out to be VAE. But are they so lucky? Did Cadre take that win because they were that good or was Dignitas just that bad? Tough it is a fact that Cadre is a very strong team that shouldn't be underestimated, which is what I kind of did. After thinking a while I'll have to take back my words because VAE aren't lucky at all to meet Cadre.


Rosters:
Dignitas: Night, r3vers, Reload, Urtier, Senji, Jakazc.
Impact: Raveneye, Mystic, Tiigeri, teKoa, M1lk, Mztik.

Enjoyable from start to finish, a brilliant advert for a brilliant game. Dignitas gave a timely reminder that they can still beat anyone on their day when Frostbite came around. They were cold hearted on defence, giving nothing away, Impact set just over seven and a half minutes and perhaps even that was generous. Dignitas' offence was straight to the point, they took the first stage in little under a minute and never looked back. Senji ran the documents home with Dignitas having minutes to spares.

Goldrush however saw a different Impact, their first stage defence was good and offensive stopping dignitas getting the tank once and then finally crumbling with 2 full minutes played. They had the barrier and they had the clock on their side, for Dignitas they just didnt click the way they would have liked and the end couldnt come soon enough. Impact's offence was fast and furious right up until the gold stage, Night played a privitol role in that taking down the command post at least twice, dignitas had just about swung the game in their favour when Tiigeri rose to the occasion taking the documents home shooting anything down in his path. Dignitas werent done yet though and slowed the truck down, what was just a minute or more longer seemed like an hour as impact slowly but surely got the truck to the exit with just 4 seconds remaining.

Possibly the most exciting game of Braundorf yet decided the game, Raveneye and r3vers both enjoyed fruitful moments with the rifle and added flair to the occasion. Impact on their offence dragged their feet, particularly in the first stage and once they did have that they couldnt quite get the side open quick enough to set a lightning fast time. Even whilst they didnt have the side entrance their dutch players were able to enjoy great freedom pushing into the dignitas defence, but still couldnt find the key. When they did unlock the defence it was after 7 minutes and it was going to take a resolute defence to stop Dignitas winning. Resolute was exactly what it was and dignitas got nowhere fast and it went down to the wire with 2 minutes to go. Dignitas planted twice only to have raveneye strike a double rifle to then defuse both with tiigeri. Not to be out done, Dignitas planted twice again and this time r3vers struck double to save the dynos and win the game. Dignitas win one of the most exciting games in a while!

Original Preview:

But this great match isn't all the Play Offs have to offer. There's another match tomorrow night and this one is going to be tense. It's Dignitas versus Impact. With Dignitas recently losing to Cadre nothing is sure and Impact could well take it. The poll on Crossfire.nu shows that the majority of the community thinks that Impact will take it. Though Dignitas is still a very strong side! They will have to prove they still got it against a very young side which is growing every match. Are they capable of doing so? We'll see.

Dataparty, which promised to be one of the final warmups prior to the two WSVG's this summer has been moved to August now, and comes as the second Swedish event to postpone.

Despite having a prizepot of 5,000 Euros for Call of Duty 2 the event was unable to sell enough tickets to make the event viable. Its regular ticket price was quite high, despite reductions for competing Call of Duty competitors. The summer edition of Wonderbase has been postponed also, and with the autum edition supposedly set for a large Call of Duty prizepool, Sweden could host Europes finest in consecutive months.

Provisionally the event is rescheduled for the 17th-19th of August.

The Call of Duty LAN Calendar is still relatively busy, with $50,000 between the two WSVG events in Dallas (July 5-8) and Orlando (August 23-26). TeK-9's second Out Post on Fire offering is sandwiched in between them, aswell as Dataparty, Wonderbase and Clanbase Eurocup XV scheduled for the end of the summmer, and potentially CPC3 in the Autumn.

ClanBase is proud to announce the release of a new set of configs today.

We also want to add we are open to any suggestions you could do to improve it.

The Intel Core 2 Extreme Challenge continues tonight as Rhine takes center stage in round one of the knockouts. Theres a great to play for as Rhine will test teams who perhaps may not be best prepared on a map that has had the dust blown off it!

Probably the two most exciting games tonight will be i30 3rd placed, team eSource taking on SPRD, and Dignitas taking on asperity.gg, they will both be covered by djWHEAT and TosspoT of Inside the Game.

With several big names still in the tournament, every game counts. The likes of Dignitas, uMu and eSource will of course be the favourites, but there are plenty of teams that can cause an upset given the chance. You can find out more on the hub website:

Twidi: The time for the game is a bit late for us finns, but we still quite easily managed to gather 6 players for the game as we were very interested about the idea to play this showmatch shown on GIGA2. About the game, we haven't been practicing yet with Team Finland as we just managed to gather the team together, so I guess it's pretty hard to predict anything about the game, but hopefully it'll be entertaining game specially for all the specators!

Butchji: I agree with twidi. (Editor version: I'm too lazy to write one)

The Clanbase Eurocup has progressed along in this season, somewhat bouncing off the coverage radar however tonight cannot go unnoticed as number 1 and 2 seeds both capilulated to high seeded opponents. It was the last night of the group stages and was to be played on bremen_b1, karsiah_te2.

CPC Champions TLR were unable to continue their sintilating form as Polar eSports claimed vengeance for their loss at CPC with a big win on the two new maps. Polar were well prepared for the maps and wanted to use this against TLR. Both maps were fairly open, but resolute defending saw TLR unable to overcome the side they met in the knockout stages of CPC.



Unbeaten in 14 months, but now as unbeaten as Chelsea's title challenge, Dignitas fell apart on Bremen and then on the decider radar to see Insignia Cadre pick up a famous win over Dignitas. A dignitas side that still havent resolved their roster crisis were without reload this time around, and also without preparation. A capital crime against a Cadre side who were out to prove a point, and that they did. All in all it was a very exciting game, which maybe could have gone either way



These two results see Dignitas and TLR sitting second in their group and thus creating some must win fixtures in the first round of the elimination stages. Be sure that tonights losers will be back with a bang!

30 seconds was the gap between 1st and 2nd place in NC X... not even a minute in CB NC VI. After 2 lost finals vs 2 strong NC teams, team.be wants some revenge.
