Ok folks, time to write a short summary of the things that have happened so far. I am sitting here at our boss TheSlaSH desk and just built up my little laptop to write this blog. After picking up Heman and Madfrog from the airport last night the troop was finally complete. Unfortuntely striker and fisker weren't able to make it due to private reasons, but we will have 2 stand-ins playing tonight at GIGA, so be tuned for that. The first wc3 matches started last and went pretty well. It was fascinating watching the gamers play a race that they usually don't use. Insomnia was sitting behind Heman and was answering Hemans question constantly.
"What shall I build?", "Which Hero shall I summon?".
Just grand.
In the late hours I received a SMS from our power newswriter Malystryx who unfortunately missed his plane in Amsterdam(NOT). As compensation he got a 4 star hotel from KLM incl. dinner and breakfast. Who wouldn't want to miss his flight for something like that? Faarrr out! Anyway, he didn't miss his flight this morning so reis picked him up from the central trainstation just a hour ago. SpawN and allen just left to fetch some water at the cornershop that they are able to balance water supply after playing a really exhausting soccer match later on, haha! RobbaN came back around 6 o'clock and is still very wasted. I think we might stick him in the goal! Madfrog and Heman continued their night in some kind of club and came to the conclusion that the swedish girls look better, I somewhat agree to that statement. So now we are all sitting here and waiting for..THESLASH! For him coming to late he will have to pocket some dirty soccer from us later on.
After the soccer we will be back here at the office to watch the almighty Insomnia play fnatic. Stay tuned for some nice coverage and interviews, so long!

Everytime I think about german cs scene I actually have to giggle. The main league in Germany is the EPS. A very developed league with heaps of talented players. The price money grows from season to season. This year the EPS has a total price money pot of 170.000€. An immense money sum for a time range of 6 months, or not? 55.000€ is only for CS. No other country throughout Europe has such grand prizes.
Now let us look at the scene. We have 16 teams fighting for the the prize money, but maybe only a handful taking it seriously? After every EPS season almost every team in this league has lineup changes. The only team that hasn't changed in while has been alternate aTTaX, and this sure has been paid-off well.
Imagine other teams, i.e. mTw, ID-Gaming, mousesports, TBH or the a-Losers playing with a constant lineup for more than over 1 year. Ok, I imagine TBH is close to it. You would see such a drastic success throughout the german scene. I even imagine that no other country would have better teams than Germany. Does it help changing a teams lineup every 6 months to get better? I can't imagine that this has got anything to do with the strength of a team. It mainly comes from the conhesion of the teams, for example alternate aTTaX. They have developed such a stability that they managed to play on the same level as PGS and fnatic.
Once being a part of SK.germany hence a party of the german EPS it really was a honour to work within it. Today I could't give a stuff about more than 10 teams that are so spoilt and up themselves that they change their teams like their undies they put on every bloody morning.
