SK Gaming have just won the Samsung European Championship 2010.

SK Gaming just won the Samsung European Championship by beating mTw 2 to 0 in the Grand Final. In their way to the final, SK Gaming beat eSuba (2-0) and Power Gaming (2-0) with ease.

This represents SK Gaming's first major victory after Rasmus 'GuX' Stahl left the team - to return to Fnatic - who was replaced in the last events by Andreas 'moddii' Frid.

The two teams that lost to SK Gaming and mTw in the semi-finals also faced off to decide the 3rd place. The finnish Power Gaming beat the norwegian Online Kingdom two maps to zero, earning themselves 3,000€

With these results, the top three in SEC 2010 was:

1st - SK Gaming (15.000€)
2nd -  mTw (6.000€)
3rd -  Power Gaming (3.000€)

Counter-Strike

POV.wp has returned with three former compLexity players joining two free agents.

The compLexity lineup was released this week after several players missed their flights for MSI BEAT IT in China.

Irukandji, dboorN and hero were quick to find a new home: Paragon of Virtue. Joining them are aZn - which was meant to act as a stand-in for coL in WCG - and savi0r.

Savi0r was a member of compLexity when x3o joined them back in 2009 and already played for Excello. As for aZn, he has been team less for a long time but has played in sides such as zEx or EG in the past.

With these players, POV.wp looks as follows:

Andrew 'Irukandji' Timmerman

David 'savi0r' Park

Derek 'dboorN' Boorn

Jeff 'hero' Mettetal

Kevin 'aZn' Wang

The team can be seen competing in ESEA Season 7.

Excello

Devido ao elevado e inesperado número de inscrições, a organização decidiu repensar a forma de acesso à liga. O principal objectivo passou por  proporcionar as mesmas hipóteses de participação na SCL a equipas que não dispomos informações suficientes para oferecer um lugar garantido.
Os Excello juntamente com o seu principal patrocinador, a ZOWIE GEAR, têm o prazer de anunciar um qualificador que garantirá 3 (três) lugares na SCL.
No entanto, sete equipas foram merecedoras da nossa confiança por todo o seu percurso, nomeadamente em LAN, são elas:

•    k1ck eSports Club
•    Exotic Island
•    Online Kingdom
•    Defining Stars
•    PLAYON
•    Morbid Shot
•    X-Function

Desde já fica o nosso convite a todas as equipas que não constam na lista a participar no ZOWIE Last Chance Qualifier. Este qualificador será realizado no dia 12 de Setembro (domingo) e começa pelas 16:00. O qualificador estará aberto a 16 equipas sendo que as 2 (duas) equipas que chegarem à final estarão qualificadas para a Spinglo Counter Strike League. As equipas vencidas na meia-final jogarão entre si para decidir o último participante na SCL.
Para além do lugar na liga o vencedor deste qualificador também irá receber 5 tapetes ZOWIE P-RF fornecidos pelo nosso parceiro ZOWIE GEAR.

Qualquer dúvida deve ser remetida para o e-mail alberto.duarte@excello.net, através da caixa de comentários ou no canal #spinglo na QuakeNet.
