WCG 2007 US Open

The WCG US Open took place yesterday and it was the first Counter-Strike 1.6 event in the USA this year!

What has been a miserable year for the US in terms of CS1.6 with former top teams like compLexity and Team 3D announcing they would be switiching to CS: Source brightened up a bit yesterday with the first CS1.6 event of the year (only 6 months!).

The event was the WCG US Open which saw four teams competing for a trip to the US Finals in Orlando Florida later this year, battling it out at the Samsung Experience in New York. The four teams that participated are relatively unknown teams here in Europe and they included eMazing gaming, x3o, MissedMe and Turmoil.

eMazing gaming however proved they were superior by winning all their matches with ease. Here is the team's route to victory:

So eMazing gaming will be the American representatives at the WCG 2007 Grand Finals but will they be able to compete amongst the ranks of top teams such as SK-Gaming, NiP, aTTaX and others?
