Atlantic Cup Thread

<div class="IPBDescription">WHOO HOO!</div> As some of you may know, the Atlantic countries (EU/USA) are putting their best players against each other to decide the winner of the Atlantic Cup tournament.

Scores, so far, are: UK (4) vs (4) Spain - Sweden (2) vs (2) USA (A team needs to win by +2 rounds to move on)

It's been a thrilling set of games, and all the teams have been playing very strongly. Demos should crop up sooner or later, but I just wanted to invite those of you who may have missed out on these first-round matches to come support USA (or EU if you're a traitor) as they try to take down Sweden and move to the next round.

GO USA

    Nice first set of games, hopefully we will have some shoutcasts set up soon. Hit about 250 HLTV specs tonight which is very nice for group games.

    Great games to watch but one thing to point out...

    12 marine wins... out of 12 rounds.

    Does anyone disagree with me that ns is slightly biased towards rines.

    Anyway enough ranting....

    This cup should be THE cup ppl keep an eye on - in terms of skill level level and good games as well as drama, i dont think there is anything finer, be it leagues or tournements, that comes close to the Atlantic cup in the competitive ns scene.

    And as a euro who was sceptical about the US NS team, i have to say, they were extremely impressive, with some of the best alien team work/ skulking i have ever seen.

    @hawthorne
    I got all hltv demos, only thing is that the end (3 min or so) of the last round is missing because hltv stopped right after the "real-time" match stopped :/

    it reminded me of the good ol days. Maybe in the next couple matches try to get a wider variety of players from the current top ten clans. Then see who would want to play, so its not like exi/ Vs . Granted Exi does have some of the best members in the community but maybe just 1-2 next game. I count hawth as exi to because he was in the clan for a while. Anyway just my two cents lots of talent running around. It might also cause more interest from the community if more Clans players were included.
