Teams for Oceanic World Ch'ship qual.

28-5-2015 16:53

Australia and New Zealand have announced their squads for the Oceanic qualifier of the World Championships.

The Australian and the New Zealand national teams will face each other in the coming days in three best-of-three clashes to determine which of them will represent Oceania at the World Championships finals, in Belgrade, later this year.

Without surprise, Australia captain Chris "GoMeZ" Orfanellis has called up all five players from both Vox Eminor and Immunity - the two strongest teams in the country. Exile5 are represented by three players - veteran Fergus "⁠ferg⁠" Stephenson, Kyran "⁠dizzyLife⁠" Crombie and Lucas "⁠destiny⁠" Bullo -, with Streamline's Paris "⁠nova⁠" Larkins filling out the roster.

All five Immunity players named in Australia's squad

As for New Zealand, team captain Matthew "Spect" Rodger has named an 11-man squad that includes Chris "⁠ofnu⁠" Hanley and Ryan "⁠zewsy⁠" Palmer, both of whom ply their trade in Exile5.

According to the tournament rules, only three players from the same team can play at the same time, which means that captains will be forced to pick lineups with players from different teams.

Below you can find the rosters in full:

Australia	New Zealand
Chad "⁠SPUNJ⁠" Burchill	Chris "⁠ofnu⁠" Hanley
Luke "⁠Havoc⁠" Paton	Ryan "⁠zewsy⁠" Palmer
Aaron "⁠AZR⁠" Ward	Tom "⁠BlackouT⁠" Richmond
Justin "⁠jks⁠" Savage	Simon "⁠Sico⁠" Williams
Yaman "⁠yam⁠" Ergenekon	Adam "Cookie" Cook
Lucas "⁠destiny⁠" Bullo	Matthew "Spect" Rodger
Kyran "⁠dizzyLife⁠" Crombie	Razmik "Raz" Bastadjan
Fergus "⁠ferg⁠" Stephenson	Anton "Yung" Eagle
Karlo "⁠USTILO⁠" Pivac	Chris "ChrisMagnum" Wilson
Ricardo "⁠Rickeh⁠" Mulholland	Egor "Lonsdale" Baranov
Iain "⁠SnypeR⁠" Turner	Shaun 'Shuiiz' Huo
James "⁠James⁠" Quinn
Chris "⁠emagine⁠" Rowlands
Paris "⁠nova⁠" Larkins

All three matches will be played on separate days, with E-frag.tv streaming all the action via their hitbox channel. The schedule is the following:

He is Turkish because i spoke with him. Are you kidding me?

2015-05-28 16:59

Yam: "My mum and dad are both Turkish, but I was born in Australia. Though of course I am also a Turkish citizen, but I've lived in Australia my entire life. I have been to Turkey a few times for visiting relatives and holiday!"

I'm talking about the actual flags :) Your colours look like watered down versions of AUS.

they are very similar, but hey our stupid government is going to spend 26 million on a referendum to change it. im glad we concentrate on the real problems. the new one will be offensive to some no doubt

Isn't NZ pretty much top of the leaderboards in terms of everything and anything in the world? I guess the government is just bored :D

Well yeah we are... You should see the Nyan Kiwi Flag option we might have to vote on.

"This flag combines the Southern Cross and colour scheme of our existing flag, with the rainbow design of the popular Nyan Cat meme. This design uses the Nyan Kiwi. The kiwi's colour represents our mixed race society, and its trail represents the colourful variety of cultures present in New Zealand society. The Nyan theme music could also be used as fresh, and simpler, national anthem." omfg, is everyone in NZ an admin for you government website? :D

2015-05-28 23:58

nice. you'll get a choice at least. about 22 years ago slovakia's government adapted present flag but without asking.

2015-05-29 00:03

I don't see why we should change it. Leave the thing alone and put the money into helping kids who go to school with no food. Shits rediculous. No one got the chance to say yes we want this. But we do get to choose which. Big whoop we will all vote for one and they will choose a different one anyway. Same as the anti smacking law. We have no real say in what happens.

I see. Well, you've got a choice - accept it or fight it. Either way, good luck.

Nice, GL guys!

"Ch'ship qual." Another classy and SEO optimised headline due to poor design on the front page.

2015-05-28 17:01

How the fuck is "ch'ship" SEO? That's like the exact opposite of proper SEO. And if they change the layout, no ads on left and right. Anyone who actually knows anything about SEO would keep this.

Hint: sarcasm

Anton "Yung" Eagle Nice to see someone with 2 vac bans in csgo and a trade ban for scamming representing NZ.

He is awesome. ^_^

2015-05-28 23:29

He was banned 10 hours ago. He's a cheating rat.

2015-06-17 23:29

I'm guessing he's there more to make up numbers than to actually play, I think there's a few people like that in the lineup

2015-05-29 02:51

yeah exactly... we need cheaters so we can destroy aus

2015-05-28 21:52

Wait, WHAT! My country has pro players lmao

2015-05-28 22:56

I wouldn't really class them as "pro" because they don't do it as a profession, I'd just say they're some of the better players NZ has to offer hahaha :p

2015-05-28 23:48

Not really, we have some good players though. ofnu and zewsy are about as 'pro' as you'll get for little old NZ Back in 1.6 times we had teams attend WCG and we even had a top Source team that was arguably better than the top Australian teams

2015-05-29 00:49

They rang me up for it but I was like an I'm busy that week lol

2015-05-29 02:23
