Match of the Night: zEx vs. GX

[CSN NewsBot]

Tonight shall be an excellent match between team zEx and Gamers-X. Both teams are leaders of their divisions. Gamers-X has beaten powerhouses before such as 3D, v2m, and even zEx. However, this isn't dust2 anymore and zEx has made some improvements. However, GX is also coming off a bad loss to 3D. Gamers-X has also lost castro for tonight's match, and nutz has been away for two weeks. I'm thinking zEx will take this one.



Update: A brief interview with zEx|LeKtriK and [GX]-Jubei has been uploaded! Check it out as it shall be quite informative.



UPDATE

16 - 8 GX > zEx



10-2 GX > zEx as CT

6-6 GX = zEx as T



I don't know what happened here, GX lost a player and one of their starters has been away from his computer for two weeks. zEx did lose shaGuar at the last minute and had to replace him with an unprepared LeKtriK. This match was a very surprising turn of events, for the most part zEx didn't pull anything together until after they lost the match. A lot of question still remains on why did CAL choose such a controversial map at such an important part of the season?



The results for the other matches are:



TEC > 3D - (13-11) (6-6 TEC as CT)(7-5 TEC as T)

e7 > Cc- (14-10) (7-5 e7 as T)(7-5 e7 as CT)

tsg > TU - (15-9) (8-4 tsg as T)(7-5 tsg as CT)

TAU > gsx.tx - (13-0 Forfeit Win)

shock > ExS - (14-10) (9-3 shock as T)(5-7 shock as CT)

Pinnacle > BiO - (17-7) (10-2 Pinnacle as T)(7-5 Pinnacle as CT)

hs > c[h]ikara - (13-0 Forfeit Win)

iwa > WEW - (16-12) (6-6 iwa as T)(6-6 iwa as CT)(4-0 iwa in OT)

Rival > GB - (15-9) (9-3 Rival as T)(6-6 Rival as CT)

MurK > Ownij- (13-11) (9-3 MurK as T)(4-8 MurK as CT)

This is the CAL-I match of the night.

3D vs. TEC is also available @ TsN briefly after the zEx match.



I will start predictions on all matches next match night.



But! In my opinion I think 3D > TEC 13-11

[noexistence]

IGNORE ESPORTS

[orion]

Insomniac, the CAL season is winding down, and CPL is approaching. The eSports results will be coming in a lot more frequently now, and here is a shocker for you... eSport is a major part of counter-strike.



There isn't much more to report on regular counter-strike news because all the news that has been released about it, has been posted.



And as rizzuh stated, there is an ignore eSports feature.

CS news has really slowed down seeing as nothing big as happened in the community for a while now. It will pick up when 1.6 comes out and will start flying when CS2 is officialy announced.

[entRo]

lots of news with the Euros though.

[orion]

TEC > 3D 13-11



My numbers were right at least :P

I love this eSports coverage. These interviews are very informative and offer more insight going into the match. Rizzuh keep up the good work with this site because you all know we love you!!! ;p



EDIT: Almost forgot about you orion :) , I like the interviews and preds. You're a good addition to the csn team.

Why do all of the cool matches happen on a gay map? Not to mention the stupid no hltv thing. The top 4 teams played each other this week everynight.

I was listening and watching along with TsN, and I couldn't believe how zEx just tossed this match. Like I said, zEx had to replace shaG at the last minute, but GX has also lost a starter AND "nutz" has been away from his computer for 2 weeks.



I think zEx needs a stable five, for Jaspal has been away for almost two months and LeKtriK spends much of his time with his girlfriend now.



Gamers-X turned up the heat and brought it to zEx hard, and zEx could not answer.



16 - 8 GX > zEx on de_cpl_fire

thing is, if i set to ignore esports, i might miss out on something i actually want to see....by accident....or something......

I think MikeJ and I have cleared up the issue with our posts. If you don't want to miss anything then don't complain about getting too much information.
