Pre-match Statement:

The sun was shining, it was hot and the sweat flows, now the summer break is finally finished. So here we come... and the first season of the ESL EPS Nordic for CounterStrike Source will start at these days. At our first match we will have directly a local derby, against the only other swedish team of 30P-Gaming. In the last two weeks we prepared us for that first match with some praccs every day on de_train. Our opponent made some lineup changes recently, so they first had to find their teamplay, so perhaps some prositive arguments for us. But seeing of the summer break and other things, you never know what will happen at the first playday. We desire all spectators a thrilling and fair match. Lycka till grabbar.

Pre-match Statement:

On thursday the EPS Nordic Season starts. I know our team have really been looking forward to this. In the first round we are matched up against H2k. The Swedes of our team are really eager and motivated to win this game. We know this will not be easy and for our newly formed team de_train might not be the best of maps. We put in a bunch of hours tho this week and we feel confident we can take home the win.

Post-match Statement:

I don't really know what to say. We started really good and came in front 3-0. After that we started throwing rounds away and the teamplay wasn't there. At halve time we were already behind 8-7. The second halve we lost the pistol and we didn't get a kill for 4 rounds. Well played by h2k and we wish them the best of luck!
