It’s been quiet here on the Team Sypher website since AEF, unfortunately when we just started the coverage some technical issues prevented us to bring you updates for the rest of the event. But expect some features soon with a video-review and interviews. The galleries are already up though!.

In the meanwhile, many of us are enjoying their holidays but some decided to attend a local event here in Deinze, Belgium. LanScape v.16

Featuring our CS players ardd, AntoinC, yok0 and two reserve players NKI and shyon, LanScape should be a rather easy event for our team and they’re confident to take home the 600 euro’s reserved for the first place.

A short-coverage with updates when possible. Besides that we have our twitter giving you live news.

If a victorious CS 1.6 team ain’t enough today, we’re happy to mention that current and former Team Sypher.CSS players travelled down to Southern France this weekend, where they participated in the popular French (CSS) lan: PxL Edition 27 in Arles.

As expected to finish within the top3 of the tournament. They really surprised many by winning the powerful ROCCAT in the upper bracket causing the Frenchies to fight their way up in the Lower tournament.

A small presentation has been done by vakarm.net representing some of our players as the Belgian representation. Translated to English..

Biluis Fabiano compte bien faire son taff !

Once again, few “real” teams are present, as a good amount of great mixes took over their place. So we have one of that kind attending the LAN with only one goal: climb up the podium. Some of these players will be using their individual skill, while others will try making the difference with their preparation, and keeping errors as low as possible.

We love beer : They won’t be crossing France from north to south to just say hello! Ex6TenZ and his troops know each other really well and they’ll try to claim a win on ROCCAT.. Unlucky though to apx for being the only outsider with the 4 Belgians.

The Playoffs

As I’m currently writing this article, the five Counter-Strike 1.6 players plus Team Sypher owner Damien Rapoye are driving the sypher van towards Enschede, Netherlands.

The Team Sypher van

Leaving this morning around 05:00AM at the HQ in Kortrijk, first ardd got picked up followed by a meeting point in Liège where they’d hit off together for another 4hours on the road.

Why? Because today is the end of the mid-season and this goes together with the Benelux ESL Pro Series Finals – Season 04.

When? Starting at 11AM our first game against Synergy in the semi-final.

Where? Livestreamed by H2Ktv.com

Time for some online action highlights. With the past LAN’s already dating back to two months, our two 5v5 teams keep fragging on their weekly trainings and so preparing themselves for a next event. To entertain themselves and the community we know ESL as being the platform for online professional competition with the EPS as the highest league in each country.

In this coverage we feature the highlights of both our squads in the EPS. The CS 1.6 team participates in the Benelux but the CS:Source team made some changes and will from these days continue to play with at least 2 French players in order to be accepted in the French ESL Section. With dahood having a double nationality they are still able to hold on with 3 former line-up members (janssen, dahood, bil).

The Benelux EPS Season just started this weekend and sypher will only be playing their first two games Monday the 24th.

The French EPS Season is already coming to it’s end and yes we managed to have our name in the current Season as our guys joined up with one of their friends in need of substitutes to finish the season, and most certainly sypher present with their new line-up after the summer. With a current mid-placed rank we’re sure of our presence in the EPS Season 9 of CSS.

Stay tuned for more highlights on upcoming matches. SYPHER.CSS mix facing hf.Mother soon and our CS boys playing netGen and PWP next monday!

It’s this weekend that The Party 8 takes place in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

What is The Party?

A typical Dutch LAN where it’s not only about competition. After being the host of 7 previous editions, once more the event will take place in the ‘beursgebouw’ @ Eindhoven. Each year they’re aiming for more and so this edition features seats for over 1000 participants. This makes them the biggest lan of the Netherlands and maybe the Benelux if they have to fight with Frag-O-Matic in Belgium. One of the pro’s of this lan it’s that you’re in the pretty center of Eindhoven with everything easily accessible for those who don’t want to stay 24/7 in this dark building. Next to this the event features side-activities such as a console corner and shoot-out’s.

Even more important for this event, is that we’ll see the new sypher line-up making it’s first LAN appearance this year. After 3 months of hard preparation and a consistent but still relaxed training schedule they should be ready for this challenge in facing what the Benelux 1.6 scene has to offer.

Being a big underdog for this event when we have a look at some forum speculations, it only seems that we’ll have to upset some people by just destroying them on LAN to show that Sypher.CS is still around. Therefore it’s with the greatest confidence that we aim to end high on this event but there will be a big challenge for sure. With series  of great online pracc performances and beating all attending teams, we hope to do it twice and take our title as the best CS 1.6 team of the Benelux, and 100% Walloon!

The team will be travelling up to Eindhoven with Sypher’s Team Manager Geoffrey ‘fwiet’ De Bie who will help them out in order for the players to have a relaxed weekend with just one thing in mind. “A ticket to dreamhack”.
