CS NationsCup V - Cup news
Now the Final has been played last night, the CS NationsCup V officially is concluded.

The final ranking:
1. Team Finland
2. Team France
3. Team Denmark and Team Germany

As CS NationsCup supervisor, and on behalf of my fellow supervisor HapHazard and myself, I would like to thank:

  • The Nation teams and captains, we had a great cooperation and overcame all hassle together, which resulted in excellent and exciting matches. Special thanks to the players who were always up for pre-match interviews.


  • The Cupadmins, there was no way we could have done the matches without them. A special mention to the top three admins who adminned the most games: Pollux (8), Saga (5) and DaVZz (3), big shoutout to you guys, you did a marvelous job.


  • Our broadcast partners, and all CS newssites who helped in the coverage for us. A special mention of Gamesports.de here who besides shoutcasts provided very decent videostreams for four matches, including the Final, and to HLTV.org who were always ready to supply us extra HLTV spectator slots.


  • The thousands of fans and spectators, we hoped you liked our coverage, and allthough small delays now and then managed to enjoy the matches either by videocast, HLTV, shoutcast, irc scorebot coverage, or simply by reading matchreports and watching demos.



  • It has been a great season, with lots of amazing matches and suprises we certainly will remember. We'll hopefully see you all back again in a next CS NationsCup.

    Thursday is the long awaited Final in the CS Nations Cup V, allthough between two very strong sides, it is a Final nobody would have predicted at the start of the season, or even after the groupstages, in which both teams ended second...

    Because of the upcoming CXG event, in which several players from Denmark and Germany participate, it was decided to delay the semi finals by a week.

    Update: The dates for the Semi Finals have been set, allthough Finland and France still havent given their preferred map, which will need to be done as soon as possible.

    Not very much to be said about this game, FRA came, they saw and they conquered. After a very nice performance of FRA on train, the score was 21-3 in their favour, not much was needed to get the win on nuke...

    The first map was 15-9 to FIN, this meant AUT would have to fight back quite hard to get the win, unfortunately for them they weren't able to master FIN on mill and got knocked out of the Nations Cup...
