Panda G League or PGL shorter starts today with their second season. Most of you probably know that our team won 1st Season, without any lose. But this time would be harder, there are a lot decent, good teams, which means that our team wont have easy job like last season. This PGL Season is without prizes, but playing in league like PGL would be very nice practise for HDx players. First match HDx plays at Sunday 21h CET versus vT Gaming [vT], team which is unknown for us, but we hope that we wont have any difficulties to beat them, and to put fullstop on this brilliant week for our team.
4:0 Time: Sunday 21h CET
Head Hunters [HDx] Lineup: KrtizzA (Starter) Raveno Semir MickeY
Rising high or going down? Which option would you pick? Well probably everybody would pick rising high as an answer. Same answer you can hear from our warcraft 3 boys, which are one step near one big result, one big dream, qualifing for WPL Season 2.
This is the most important match in HDx w3 history. Qualifing for WPL League would be big step, step to even better future... But it won't be easy. On our last step to the WPL we got eLegance Gaming [eG] as opponent. Team which consist of players like Padash, 3gpaBkO, Archibald is team who can suprise you if you dont know them.
First time we played them before few days in WCO where we were able to beat them 4-3 in one very close match. But system was different, so this time everything is possible. We are highly motivated for this match, practised a lot, so we hope that we are ready to face enemy like eG, and beat them.
Who will go down and who high? HDx or eG? Answer you will know at Sunday 18h CET!
***UPDATE***
WPL Admins decided to kick AfoS [AfoS] from WPL-2, because their player Rik maphacked in his games versus eLegance Gaming [eG] and Head Hunters. With this decision both teams eLegance Gaming [eG] and Head Hunters are given slot in WPL 2, so match HDx versus eG, wont be played.
Former eoLithic star Jorgen "XeqtR" Johannessen has returned to Counter-Strike action more than two years after his retirement.
The Norwegian veteran decided to put an end to his Counter-Strike career in mid-2006 following a series of mixed results with NoA.
It now appears as though he is ready to make a comeback to Counter-Strike competition after being added to the ESL page of Ola "elemeNt" Moum's team.
The team, called "carried by OmeN", participated in the Norwegian Extreme Masters qualifier, crashing out of the tournament last night after losing to Excello.
Carried by OmeN did not manage to qualify for the WCG, so whether the current mousesports DotA player will continue playing for the team remains very much subject to conjecture.
The team is currently as follows:
Sondre "REAL" Svanevik Mats "noLA" Nygren Preben "prb" Gammelsæter Lasse "stingeR" Midtstue Ola "elemeNt" Moum Martin "OmeN" Moskvil Jorgen "XeqtR" Johannessen
Round two of the playoffs is about ready to kick off and two teams are left standing. eleGance gaming [eG] showed impressive skill in the first round by taking out lgR with a score of 5-2, their champion 3gpabko took 3 of their points. Fellow Bulgarian Delorex also took 3 points from his opposition SPQR, giving Head Hunters a clear 5-1 win. So which of this 2 teams will get place in final versus pretty strong New Style Team [nSt] and chance for winning 150$. Stay with us, and you will know!
