RISEUP

The format for RISEUP Stand-Off v2 is as follows:
The top 2 teams from each group will advance
In order to make a 8 team double elimination, the teams who placed 3^rd will have a chance to advance and this is how it will work:
The 2 teams (out of the 3) with the highest P.D will advance.

The dates for the Revolution Series has been confirmed!! It will be hosted at Edgewood College Campus from the 26th-28th of March hosted with FRAG! Another update is that instead of the proposed 8 teams we are now going to accomadate 12 teams! This means that all the teams that have entered this online qualifier have acquired invites to the Grand Final. So get planning and you can message KING if you have any further queries. Due to the fact that miNionz dropped out, there is 1 vacant spot and news will follow about which team will be invited to participate. The results from the Stand-Off tournament will be the seedings used to determine groups and so on. So play hard!

We have HUGE plans for the finals so get ready, get the practise in and we’ll see you on the floor!

Lastly I’m just going to run through my predictions for the teams who in my opinion will advance to stage 2:
1. Bravado – Too experienced, too skilled, when it comes down to crunch time, they can pull together. Chief destroyer: Detrony.

2. Boondocks – This Durban based team has a lot of potential. It has also only made one change since its dominating LAN experience at the end of 2009 being undefeated. The newly added SoldieR was part of the boondocks team from its inception back in 2007 and was the teams’ key caller. He is a player who will fall very comfortably into the team. Chief destroyer: anthem.

3. Pantheon – A newly formed team that chooses to play CS:Source over CS1.6 however a team that should not be underestimated. Made up of the 2 former bravado players, korupt and deviaNt, fused with eC’s renound players kustoM, Force and Craan, this team definitely has a lot of potential lurking. It will be interesting to see how a top CS:S team will fair in the  CS1.6 scene. Chief destroyer: deviaNt.

4. ESP – Once again back to play the competitions, the last tournament they played was the 2009 AGASA league. No doubt this team is out of form but no doubt that they have the ability to do well. Only 2 changes since that tournament has seen HackeM and fr0st enter. Both of these players are well known for their aim and thinking. Added to the current trio of azterix, Playboy, adr3nalin the team could do very well but remains at my 4^th. Chief destroyer: HackeM.

5. 501.a – The team has been around for quite some time now and hasn’t made a change for quite some time. The only issue when it comes down to game time is that there has been no practise before hand. The team has some of the most skilled players including Apollo, lateNcy, blazE and others. No doubt they could pull through and make it to the final however they remain at my number 5 due to the lack of practise. Chief destroyer: LateNcy.

6. motion – The team was recreated shortly before the tournament with a similar lineup to the 1 used in the AGASA league of 2009. This team has a lot of potential however the inactivity of 2 or more members could result in a low final placing. Chief destroyer: e1u.

7. zE – Once again, back from the dead! zE has an ‘interesting’ lineup with the likes of the brother duo Hellhound and stYle from DC mixed with 3 miNt CS:S players: uNreal, zound and merc. All players are not into the CS1.6 scene activitely and that could result in an even lower placing than 7^th however if the players can adapt to the game quickly and work as a team, then no doubt they could place higher. Chief destroyer: stYle.

8. 501.b – The 2^nd team of the 501 franchise recently added and reformed from the team voltz. Nobody has seen this team in action but it is made up of good individual players, unknown as how they work as a team. Chief destroyer: ShazzChck
