ESEA S4 LAN Playoffs: coL and x3o win!
Type:
ESEA News
Ten teams have gathered in Dallas to determine who will be the crowned the ESEA Season 4 Champions in both Counterstrike 1.6 and Source.
Several big questions are left to be answered. Can EG repeat their Season 3 success or will their arch rivals, complexity, deny them their victory lap? Will the once kings of North American CS, Turmoil and Loaded, surprise everyone and let it be know they are still a force to be reckoned with? Could the upstarts in DINC, Loaded, and Excello start a new CS dynasty at this event?
In Source can x3o hold off the rest of the pack? Will the guys in AYEDOG prove that what’s left of the OptX still can frag? Will Distinct 5 and Immortal 7 leave Dallas with a trophy and a chunk of change?
It will take some time to answer these questions … but we will start to get an idea of the things to come on Friday with the ESEA skills competition.
