Player presentation

by Ex6TenZ, boon & janssen

FuZ: His contribution to the team is that with his very large arms he can carry many bottles of water, these will definately be of use for the lan finals.

dahood: Totally unknown player, some youth-friend of some old girlfriend of me. When I met him he seemed to be nice and pretty OK on cash, his role will be to sponsor fuz with the water bottles

Scream: Slovakia has ‘xGuardianko’, The Netherlands have ‘brains’, Denmark have ‘wantz’. We have ScreaM! LESS LAUGHING NOW HUH?

boon & bil: you said who? boule & bil maybe but Boon & Bil, unknown at the battleground, never heard of, must be some joke.

Ex6tenz: Fan of Sangoku & Johny Halliday, he found the perfect mix: the sexy haircut and a superb fashion style. He’s good to shine in the spotlights for us.

janssen: jaja? Ah but he won’t be playing, he’s just our bodyguard

scantraxx: he’ll be providing us illicit substances.

iD: the only normal guy in the line-up, … just to bad he doesn’t speaks french.

Julien “deStrO” Pardons :J’ai été choisi pour mener l’équipe belge pour cette nouvelle saison des ENC. Nous avons dû d’abord rencontrer nos amis flamands pour choisir quel “line-up” représenterait la Belgique. Une rencontre d’où les francophones sont sortis vainqueurs. Je suis bien entendu fier d’emmener cette formation avec Kévin et les autres. A noter que nous avons aussi pris la décision de prendre deux néerlandophones avec nous (qui parlent français quand même) pour montrer que nous sommes tout de même unis dans un pays divisé ! Notre but est simple, atteindre le podium et pourquoi pas décrocher une victoire ? Nous allons montrer que les belges ne mangent pas que des moules frites, mais qu’on a du skill ! Pour une fois, on va gagner !

BE CS:Source history

Last year the team knew it’s best achievement in years.
Starting in QR3 against Bosnia and Herzegovina CSS and then winning Hungary in QR4 they did attend the Main Round. There we saw some unexpected results such as twice 14-16 against the ENC 2009 winner: Germany! This year can only be better with the great preparation the team will have. Besides an offline bootcamp their personal sponsor Redline-hosting is offering them, they hope to get a shot on one of the offline events being held by ASUS.

* update * 14-16 loss, GG CKRAS! Bootcamp put of results for sure

Another week, another game. Tonight our opponent will be CKRAS Gaming from Austria.
Featuring some of the best players of the country, CKRAS will be a big challenge for SYPHER.CSS tonight. Getting the points of this game is crucial to keep up at the top ranking where we were for the first weeks.

With 3 victories and only 1 loss nothing is over while the league keeps going till March.
Here what the current ranking looks like

For more information regarding tonight’s match keep an eye on the live updates HERE

Also feel free to hang around in our IRC channel (#sypher) for live updates and SourceTV links!

*update* SR managed to win against the Polish EWC with 16-11. Despite many connection problems due to the Belgian provider Belgacom having problems lately we managed to pull a secure result.

*update2* Our EAS opponent claimed to award us a forfeit win as his team couldn’t be present at the agreed matchdate. Nevertheless we didn’t receive any points for the game.
———–
After losing quite unexpected to the Danish guys of “Gamingserver” yesterday evening, tonight is an opportunity to take back those lost points by beating the Polish team “Elite Warez Couriers”.

A game that shouldn’t be a big challenge but with the exams period and a rather calm pracc schedule for SYPHER.CSS everything is possible.

Next up at 22:00 we have a Belgian challenge against “nextlevel”. An average Belgian team with most definately no chance to cause us an upset. If we look at the current Winning streak in the ESL EAS Benelux we have sypher on the 2nd spot after being nr1 for one week. Let’s take those 2 points to take back our place on nr1.

*update* GAMINGSERVER had a great match and we missed some awareness in this game, a lack of training with the exams going on for our guys ain’t a good thing when officials need to be played. Final score 10-16! Good game GAMINGSERVER

Following the start of the new ESEA Season a while ago, SYPHER.CSS had a good start in the Season 5 Open Division being played from Dec 1, 2009 – Mar 6, 2010. Tonight we have team GAMINGSERVER from Denmark on the Menu!

After two victories on a row, tonight it’s time for a third game against “Team GAMINGSERVER“. This game has been rescheduled from the season start until now due to holidays and ESEA servers not being available when both teams agreed to play.

We’re currently ranked 4th with one game in our favor, winning tonight should give us our spot back in the top3 and that’s the goal we’ve set for this ESEA Open Season so hopefully we can go where we  belong next season: The Invite league!

Here an overview of the TOP10 and tonight’s game against GAMINGSERVER. Hopefully we can pull up a good job since 2 of our members are having university exams and weekly trainings are currently been cancelled.

Tonight!



See it live tonight by either following the ESEA matchpage with the live score updates or on the SourceTV which will be announced before the game. Feel free to be around in our IRC channel for live updates (#sypher).

A while ago we announced the motivated return of the CSS line-up. After a period of low activity, problems with the line-up consistency etc., they’ve returned asking a second chance and we agreed on that. In the end we always had a good faith in what this team could perform and we still rely on these thoughts.

Now to assure nothing could go wrong again we’ve made some agreements on having to show us this activity and motivation to perform again. Therefore the team registered for the esportsea.eu with the goal to attend the Invite season where all Europe’s finest CSS teams participate in, and since they lost their EPS License they’re now also back at the bottom of the ladder: EAS.

Let’s have a small recap on the last 3 weeks and the first matches in both competitions.

But first a general statement from SR.CSS player bil:

Après avoir résolu nos problèmes de line up, on a doucement recommencé à s’entrainer, à raison de 3 soirs par semaine. Les débuts furent difficiles, des retards par exemple, mais petit à petit ça s’est mis en place et ça va de mieux en mieux. A chaque pracc ou match officiel, on résout des petits détails, on améliore notre team play, ce genre de chose.
Concernant les semaines à venir, la cadence des praccs va encore descendre un peu, certains partant en vacances, d’autres préparant leurs examens…
Tout devrait être totalement relancé d’ici février, et nous préparerons alors plus sérieusement les événements futurs.

After we solved our line-up problems we’ve slowly started to take up our training schedule again. At this moment we keep it to 3 evenings a week. Now, starting over again from the beginning (because it feels for us as something new) wasn’t always so successful, some delays happen etc, but with time and patience everything is starting to go better and better. At every practice game or official we discuss before and the most important AFTER the game on all aspects of the match. Something which often went wrong before.

Concerning the weeks to come things will be very calm. Some leave for winter holidays, and others are preparing their high-school exams.

As it seems now everything should be back in order by the beginning of February, by that time we’ll be rested in our minds and be able to prepare at the highest level for upcoming events.

ESEA

Sypher.CSS 16 vs 14 AMDERS

A game which started of well with a leading score of 12-3 but with some pc problems Dahood had it turned out in a close match. After getting to a 15-15 we had an overtime to play and that one turned out in our favor with a 6-2 deciding score.

To have full statistics of this game you can check out the match page: HERE

To go back to the local competition here an overview of 2 ESL Benelux Amateur Series games which the team plays every sunday.

Last Sunday they’ve did a remarkable score against the current number 1 on this ladder with a rather confident score. IT seems by now that the competition in these EAS ain’t to high which should make it only easier to grab many points and keep this first spot we’ll be taking next Sunday until the new EPS Season (which ain’t announced so far).

EAS.BLX

Sypher.CSS 16 vs 3 Freshconnections

Previous to this game we had the EAS kick-off match which surprisingly enough didn’t went as good as planned. We won yes we did, but not to really a game to write in the golden book.
