Microsoft Visual Studio Challenge Cup

Everything has lead to this one point in time, the moment where Champions are crowned and the crowd can be seen in rapturous applause celebrating a hard fought victory. This evening will play host to the Grand Final of the MVS Challenge Cup between the two dominant teams in the UK CS scene at the moment; Dignitas, the UK's No.1 and Team-Coolermaster, their continual challengers for the top spot.

After the WiredOut LAN event a few months ago where a tired Dignitas fell to TCM they will surely go out all guns blazing to prove this was a one time blip and having secured the services of former TCM player "JungleboY" things will certainly be interesting.

"The Titans are coming.... Dignitas vs. TCM...the match we had all been hoping for is finally upon us. Two teams currently in turmoil with aleski playing probably his final game for Dignitas before moving over to CS Source and taLz from TCM rumoured to be joining Dignitas upon the completion of this tournament. There will be no love lost between the two this evening however as they both aim for the 1500 GBP prize being offered to the victors whilst the 2nd place finishers only secure a 1000 GBP reward for their troubles.

With a best of 3 format like the rest of the bracket I suspect we will end up seeing the normal selection of Dust2, Nuke and Inferno with both teams trying to play to their strengths but anything could happen as both teams try to outsmart and outmaneuver each other.

For Dignitas suffz should now be back from holiday and will likely start the final instead of wez who has done a good job of standing in for the past 2 matches to keep Dignitas rolling. Backed up by Kurt1s and JungleboY I see those 3 as the main attacking force for Dignitas and not scared to get stuck in, expect some huge frags from all of them. On the TCM side, I haven't seen the new Swedish recruit raise any eyebrows yet but he has been going about his work in an accomplished manner and always got the job done but tonight could be the night for him to stand up and be counted. punt and taLz are the two players that regularly rack up the kills and I am sure they will be aim to get in the faces of Dignitas, work those early picks and try to get the upper hand early in the rounds.

This is a game that could go either way if both teams are on form but based on recent performances I would say that Dignitas look the stronger side and will take the match 2 - 1 on maps."
