Unexpected WB finalists in Roccat Kone Challenge

Posted by Camiel jetset R. on 2010-11-30 16:07:53
After the Roccat Kone Challenge, hosted by Esports Heaven in cooperation with Roccat, kicked off one week ago, today only 16 teams remain, competing for a first place prize of £500.

Somewhat surprisingly, the current number one and two of Europe, TCM Gaming (16-19 versus Replika) and Power Gaming (11-13, playing 4v5 versus VERSUS) have dropped into the Lowerbracket before the Upperbracket Final, both losing out to a German opponent. In the Lowerbracket, the  two European powerhouses are joined by several top contenders, including the highly rated Hungarian team aNimus-Gaming and Button Bashers, who lost to respectively phys1x (6-13) and Team MondialServers (10-13).

Making their way to the Upperbracket Final is the newly formed German team Replika, who boast an impressive roster with several former Team SPEEDLINK players, Team Thermaltake’s Christian "kaTana" Hofmann and Call of Duty 4 veterans Daniel "L-KiNG" Luther (ex-TEK9) and Kevin "reflexzR" Klempera, previously of Team Dignitas. Replika have had a more than impressive run in the tournament thusfar, defeating YoYoTech (13-10), Europe’s current number one TCM Gaming (19-16) and PLAYZONE (13-7) on their way to the Upperbracket Final.

In an attempt to secure a spot in the Grand Final, the Germans will face heavy competition from French rivals Team MondialServers, a top 10 European team, who managed to overcome the likes of Button Bashers (13-10), GIGABYTE (13-9), phys1x (13-10) and TheLastResort (13-8).

First up on the agenda are the next three Lowerbracket rounds (7, 8 and 9), which will taking place tomorrow, the first of December, and will feature Power Gaming, Blight Gaming, Button Bashers, TCM Gaming, aNimus, among others.

Oh I thought the 3rd place was already decided, considering it was double elimination.

Everytime you say something on tek9 about the prizes, I always respond to you. You needed to contact Steven by email which I already gave you. If you've already done so then e-mail him again questioning about the time/delay..
