echoFX News Feed http://echofx.net Latest news from http://echofx.net uk-uk Sun, 29 Jan 2012 07:45:45 +0100 Copenhagen Games 2012 signups open

The 3 main titles are:
# Counter Strike 1.6
# Counter Strike Source
# StarCraft 2

Prices will be announced soon together with sponsors, however they will be in the same price range as in 2011.

Computers for rent
Copenhagen Games is basically a BYOC, because we think that people should have a seat with a computer where they can play, hang out, surf and do whatever they want to, when not playing the tournaments. Also warm up gets easier and equal for everyone.

A lot of foreign teams are not able to transport computers and monitors. That's why they like in 2011 will have some computers for rent, but there is a limited amount of computers available. Information about hardware configuration and rental price will be announced in the coming weeks.]]> m.schultz607@gmail.com (Mathias Sørensen) echoFX comes back after long break Mathiaski. The team will be attending both HKLAN and the danish Steelseries league and have their eyes set on the Copenhagen Games if things are going as planed.

Denmark Jesper "JzprG" Gregersen told Gaming.dk:

"We can now happily announce that we will start up again as a team, initially under the name echoFX until we find another organization. Our goal is first and foremost, participation at HKLAN and the danish Steelseries League. We will of course just do our best to provide resistance on the Danish scene and hoping for a good reception from the other teams. Hope a lot of h$ and good hours in CSS."


The team consists of:

Denmark Jesper "JzprG" Gregersen
Denmark Markus "rdZz" Jensen
Denmark Mathias "Mathiaski" Carlsen
Denmark Mathias "PULZ" Jacobsen
Denmark Mathias "Schultz" Sørensen]]> m.schultz607@gmail.com (Mathias Sørensen) CSS team shutting down m.schultz607@gmail.com (Mathias Sørensen) Changes in echoFX CSS
After a while we decided to kick chuck, and try to find another 5th. But trying to find a 5th that fit into the team wasn't easy, so when pulz came and told us he would stop CSS to go all in Quake Live it came as a shock. But with pulz leaving we had to find two new members of the roster. Thats when zenar and HELTENY came in to the picture and finalizing our roster.

With this said we took a talk to zenar:

The main reason why Daniel and I, joined echoFX, is primarily because we do not know anyone, with the right skillset, to play with. Cause of that there are not that many who enjoy playing with us. So this opportunity at echoFX is welcomed. In our eyes (Daniel & I), we should be playing where it is fun - I personally believe that Daniel and I have the skills to do it, furthermore the three others have not yet proved that they do not have what it takes (And I doubt that will change). To put it simply, we would not play with them, if we did not believe that we could become great. I have to say it is a privilege to play with dudes that knows the game. What will happen in the future is promising, so wait and see; it is going to be Legen-Wait for it-Dary...]]> m.schultz607@gmail.com (Mathias Sørensen) ESL shutting down leagues
As most of you know we here at Electronic Sports League Nordic have worked on the new season of ESL Pro series. It is with great sorrow we have to announce that the upcoming season of ESL Pro Series is cancelled.
ESL A Series will be announced in short time and we hope as many teams as possible will show their interest. The cancelling of the ESL Pro Series will nullify the current points and rankings.

The leagues that have been shut down now is ESP UK, EPS Alpen and now EPS Nordic.

With EPS UK as a role model, EPS Nordic staff decided to run ESL A Series that will be announced in the near future.]]> m.schultz607@gmail.com (Mathias Sørensen) HKLAN Finished
