Day 3 - All Gloom and Doom?

By Richard '_evan' Armstrong

The final day for the WCG at least, and some of the minor Asus tournaments kick off today. The CoD2 and Counter Strike Source tournaments are in bracket play, and I caught one of the of the upper bracket semi finals earlier on.
It was a rematch of Dignitas vs LTTC on Toujane, Dignitas look a lot better than they did yesterday at least and will most likely play Reason in the upper bracket final.
Counter Strike Wise, fnatic as I predicted will play against 4Kings in the CSS upper bracket (should be a good match).
The finals/games played on the main stage are delayed by about 30mins so expect delays if you waiting on stuff live. Girls aloud are expected to arrive here, and play on the main stage and help hand out the WCG prizes at 4pm.



Day 2 First Beginnings

The Multiplay tournaments kicked off at 10am, and the second round of matches is likely to kick off in a few minutes.
I glimpsed the Fnatic Counter Strike Source team on my way to the press tent. They are one of the few European teams to make the trip. Word on the street is after their Eurocup win midweek against Logitech, they will announce a new fifth during i31 for the upcoming CGS since one of their most talented players doesn't meet the age requirements.



i31 First Impressions

After the grueling travel down here. I wasn't in the best frame of mind when I was told I wasn't on the press list.
Apparently the person who authorized me, didn't have the power and shouldn't have. This is despite me being told he was the person to contact, and I even had a support ticket in the support forums for nearly two weeks before the event even started.
First impressions, not good.
It was resolved however, and I'm currently sitting in the press tent (the only one actually doing any work as well!).
I had a quick look round the event, as it is spread across three buildings, and spotted some "known" characters including ReDeYe (QuadV, CGS), ODEE (Dignitas manager), and some of the Dignitas CoD2 players as well.
