France showmatch to pick ENC squad

26-3-2010 14:02

According to team-aaa.com, France national coach Matthias "zazie" Jégou has organised a showmatch between his picks to decide the squad for the ENC.

The ten players called up by Jégou have been split up into two different teams, who will take on one another in a best-of-three tie.

The formula is not exactly new in France, as Steeve "Ozstrik3r" Flavigni is highly fond of it, and its purpose is to pick the players that can better don the country's colours at the ENC.

The two France teams, led by Mathieu "R!Go-" Bridet and Guillaume "Geno" Ntep, from oXmoze and Burning, respectively, will clash on Wednesday, 31 March, at 18.00 CET.

France A:

Mathieu "R!Go-" Bridet (oXmoze)
Mathieu "MaT" Leber (oXmoze)
Mickael "mSx" Cassisi (oXmoze)
Jérémy "ioRek" Vuillermet (YoYoTech)
Engin "MAJ3R" Kupeli (Burning)

France B:

Guillaume "Geno" Ntep (Burning)
Christophe "SIXER" Xia (Burning)
Mahé "Yoshi" Martin (Burning)
Remi "loduN" Colas (oXmoze)
Rémi "instanz" Poilblanc (aAa)

France are due to play the first Intel Friday Night Game of the ENC 2010, which will take place at Gamers Assembly in Poitiers from April 3-5.

A fash0... and they should be also a team, not just the ENC squad in my opinion. it's a shame that ioRek HaRts mSx MaT and RiGo splitted, they were amazing. anyway i think that oXmoze can create a better lineup.

2010-03-26 14:15

MAJ3R, mSx, R!go are the best in France!

2010-03-26 14:16

would put sixer instead of iorek :o

2010-03-26 14:17

its not about the recognition of the players its about skill.

2010-03-26 15:01

plus french scene knows mshz is able to do great things, so in some way the dude over here is right :)

2010-03-26 15:42

2010-03-26 17:07

i think he just saw him playing during the eps matches and mshz was with D4 before, he's not well known on the international scene, but in france everybody knows he's good

2010-03-26 18:44

so does the team that wins rep france im assuming? or is this just to see which players perform best and they'll pick the top 5 players from the match

2010-03-26 14:43

MaT- R!Go- mSx SIXER Geno

2010-03-26 14:44

RiGo- to win easily <3

2010-03-26 14:46

Team A

2010-03-26 15:23

why donot they know who the best 5 are?

2010-03-26 15:29

none of those are france`s best lineup's.Team A is better i think but they would need SIXER !

2010-03-26 15:35

msx and sixer in different teams, 2 bad. They should use the old eml line up since they play in different teams now

2010-03-26 15:50

yoshi, msx, sixer, maj3r, r!go

2010-03-26 15:55

2easy4A lol lamer lol loduN + Geno > A for me loduN is the best french player now ;]

2010-03-26 16:01

1 reply

lmao loduN best french player what a joke :D Team B -instanz +OliGan -loduN +YanK Anyway as #28 says best french players are emuLate so they should use them now as they are not in the same team.

2010-03-26 16:13

ofc A is a better team, i dont see why is this match, but ofc it will be an interesting game so we can be happy :P but the team needs sixeR i think, so the best lu in my op is mSx, sixeR, MAJ3R, RiGo & MaT

2010-03-26 16:25

mSx, yoshi, SIXER, GENO, + 1 +1 = MAT or MAJ3R or loduN

2010-03-26 16:33

gl =)

2010-03-26 16:40

team A + sixer - mat :/

2010-03-26 16:41

RiGo, loduN, ioReK, SIXER, mSx ftw

2010-03-26 16:44

mSx >>>> all by far imo...i think mSx is still a top 5 player in the world.. best team france can produce from this list (otherwise i would have harts in it) mSx R!Go sixer MaT MAJER could be a top 5 team..but i don't think that the oXz guys get along with the burning guys..the guys from BURNING all looked like gangster wannabes lmao.. if these guys could get their head outta their ass they could merge and make one fucking amazing team..

2010-03-26 16:47

sixer is france B? joke

2010-03-26 16:49

1 reply

my god, being at team b, doesnt mean he's a backup player, the coach just meant to balance things a little bit, otherwise would be rape.. imo iodun and sixer can do a pretty bad damage at team A

2010-03-26 17:13

:O millonario?... Engin "MAJ3R" Kupeli (Burning) <3

2010-03-26 16:50

2010-03-26 17:23

group A, end of the story :)

2010-03-26 17:34

France A

2010-03-26 17:35

team A looks stronger on paper, we'll see :]

2010-03-26 17:45

Well that match isn't to pickup ENC squad but to see the value of some other players like loduN instanz etc, and see the best binomes, best awp & individual skill + the leader ingame RiGo/Geno not to choose the winner of the match so don't have the idea that the lineup that wins the match will be the official lineup

2010-03-26 17:54

HaRts mSx MaT Rigo sixer best line-up

2010-03-26 18:02

atlantis?????

2010-03-26 18:15

team A ! SIXER GO ;pp

2010-03-26 18:18

#67 aha. Go Maj3r !

2010-03-26 18:25

-iorek +sixer and the line-up is perfect :o

2010-03-26 18:36

i think A will win gl MAJER kebabic boy :P

2010-03-26 18:39

*aAa*atLantis :/

2010-03-26 18:46

great captain if he doesnt know which players to pick, just lol at this article :/ it is obvious that 'France A' can win and have more potential for wining no matter which team will be the winner from this called 'showmatch' otherwise i think that sixer MUST be representing France at this ENC. :)

he knows the players, but he can't predict if the chemistry will appear between them

2010-03-26 19:27

R!Go MAJ3R MaT mSx loduN

2010-03-26 19:31

I think this teams are a little unfair...imo team A is much better than b lol for me the team would be msx majer rigo sixer and mat

2010-03-26 19:46

i think this should be to pick the best 5th player not the whole team to me is obvious: mSx,MAJ3R,sixeR,MaT and the other one is for you to choose :)

2010-03-26 19:46

rigo msx sixer majer geno

2010-03-26 20:01

mSx MAJ3R SIXER R!GO Geno or Yoshow best french line up =]

2010-03-26 20:28

yey carnifex i think the same :p mSx MAJ3R SIXER R!GO Yoshooow many people don't see yoshi as a great player but imo he is one of the 3-4 best french players ( often top fragger and he do really important ones)

2010-03-26 21:52

That's kind of sad. I'd like to see the lineup be like this: Mathieu "R!Go-" Bridet (oXmoze) Mickael "mSx" Cassisi (oXmoze) Engin "MAJ3R" Kupeli (Burning) Guillaume "Geno" Ntep (Burning) Christophe "SIXER" Xia (Burning)

2010-03-28 19:06

get sixeR and mSx together please....

2010-03-30 07:32

This is supposed to be played today I hope hltv.org covers it

2010-03-31 12:58

It's not about winning there, but to see wich players are the best for the ENC. So even if group B lose they can pick players from this line up and vice-versa. So I guess it will be a mix of players from group A and group B for the ENC.
