Galant — The last Russian offline tournament happened this April in the scenic city of St.Petersburg – you can refresh your memory with this post on Vanilla and re-live the LAN by watching these highlights brilliantly produced by bon. Half a year ago RAGE.eSport s took the 1st place prize by defeating O’RLY in epic 3-map-with-golden-cap grand final on freight, granary and lovely “Russian map” cp_well.
Now it is time to tell you about our upcoming TF2World.ru LAN #3. This time we have moved the venue to Moscow and it will run from 4-5th of November. Once again 16 teams will fight during the two days; first during the group stage on Friday, and then the top 2 from each group will make up 8 teams, who will play double elimination in bo3 format during all the Saturday.
Below is a list of some of the more interesting participants, who will no doubt put on a good show for all of us during this LAN.
Team Insolence (div 3b) – new upcoming team, playing in div 3b at this moment. These guys will surely proceed to the playoffs. Their scout duo Diamax (ex- O’RLY ) and kenji are definitely worth watching especially with Hitman from LMS will help them as demoman during this event.
cegth[etw (div 2b) – another new team that was gathered by pandello during the summer. Though these guys are yet to show impressive results, they could be a bone in the throat of potential opponents this event.
ISIS (div 2b) - this is a new team with a mixture of older players plus some newer talents, all well-known to each other. Lead by Galant after ending with RAGE project which lasted over a year, this team has good results on ETF2L. ISIS have got a great chance to get the final phase of the tournament. Keep an eye out for fast and furious gameplay of demoman ShYr1k and upcoming talent – soldier DeDoK (russian version of MGE Mike – came from nowhere and right into div2).
Crab People (div 2a) - Medic marvel D1ego$ and friends are back for another LAN! This time the line-up for LAN will have swat and baklya as Scouts, hamster and sLip on Soldier and TroX in charge of fixing them pipes. Obviously this team will try to do their best to be in grand final.
Y U NO WIN? (mix) - this will be the strongest mix-team on LAN: Rubikon and Root are soldiers, Vad ( Eternity ) and Psycho badlands
