International Championships of CS2D, v8
To start up, the International Championships of CS2D moved on ICC v8, with Milriko keeping the tradition to have a different format for each edition of these already successful tournament series. This time the tournament is a league where all teams will fight each other to determine the final vincitor (You will be able to watch the matches via our network of fine streamers, so be sure to be updated with the latest match schedules !). Even though our scene isnt as big as it was in the past, there were still plenty of teams registering:
1. eXXaLTeD
2. SouL HunterS
3. uneek
4. |Storm_PL|
5. Mighty #
6. Spectrum
7. Tysion
8. Epidemic '
Personal thoughts: The teams with the best lineups usually do well if they can keep up till the end. So it's plausible that teams like eXX, sH and Storm will fight for the podium. But never underestimate darkhorses lke Mighty (a team that always proved their... might in tournaments) or uneek. The other teams are kinda new to competitive scene so we have no further information and opinions on whether they can make the surprise or not. To wrap up the ICC v8, we went and interviewed some of the clan leaders for you. Enjoy below !
WzD, Clan leader of eXXaLTeD
1. We see you leading a bunch of old players. What motivates you to keep playing?
Actually it's not just the game, which keeps me active. Especially the surroundings and our small group of players, who are all a part of my '2d history', someone more someone less, keeps me playin' this game. I still wonder, how it keeps my rolling.
2. Is a league system the right choice to get more activity into the scene?
Im pretty sure the league system will push 2d once again and keep the game a lil more active than before. Nevertheless everybody has to find a time to play and stop being dormant.
3. Predictions and wishes for ICC v8 !
Well, there are no big wishes for ICC v8. I appreciate that the league wont be boring and hopefully there will be more than just some thrilling & gripping matches. I wish every clan and every member good luck.
Hajt, Clan leader of Spectrum
1. This time you are leading a team on your own, yet only with 5 players. Do you think you guys can cope with it?
It was hard to assemble a team but somehow we have our first lineup. I am gonna check myself as in game leader. That will be hard for me. I know it but I hope my team will survive to the end.
2. As a Tournament Admin by yourself, is a league the best way to renew the motivation of everyone at playing CS2D?
Yeah. I think the best way to renew the motivation and activity is a tournament. In this month I want to create a small tournament 1 vs 1 in new mode fog of war. We are able to gather 32 players, so it will be an interesting competition.
3. Predictions and wishes for ICC v8 !
In my opinion in ICC v8 Mighty can win versus Storm, because they have strong team. I wish everyone a lot of fun and good luck in matches.
kurt, Clan Leader of TysioN
1. Your team is kinda unknown to the scene. Introduce yourselves !
So, we are new clan , we become like a family and i think we have many good players to play this tournament , we will do the best to become more strong , I open this clan this year and maybe we can be like many pro clans , Our Job is to accept medium players and then we will make them Pros and skilled players so that's why we are special !
2. Predictions and wishes for ICC v8 !
All nice teams, we as a new team will try our best to show our potential. Good luck to everyone !
Last but not least, the organizer of the ICC series, and leader by himself
Milriko, Clan leader of |Storm_PL|
1. Omg i am tired to interview you ! (joke) Once again on the go with your team, how do you guys never lose the motivation to keep winning?
I think some of us already lost the motivation a long time ago, that's why we need to recruit some new faces from time to time. Currently our team is more motivated to achieve top10 on kgb2d zombies.
2. As the organizer of ICC v8, describe these 8 editions as a whole.
I wanted to have something that's entirely mine in our community, since storm was way before me, same goes with PFC where i was a head admin. Every edition of ICC is different, so that's the word i would use to describe it. ICC is something different, like PCL in the past.
3. Predictions and wishes for ICC v8 !
It's the first edition that will probably not work out, since it's a league (and we know how they end in CS2D), but i'm willing to do everything i can to make it succesful. Apart from storm we have three teams that will do their best to win the championships : eXX, Mighty and sH, and we can't forget about uneek and Spectrum which will fight for top3. I don't give high hopes to Epidemic and Tysion since they're new. I hope they can play every match without w/o's. That would be the biggest success for them.

From our side as PCS Management, we wish everyone good luck and much fun during the tournament. Never give up and keep it up !
PCS Project back on track with 1on1 tournaments
It's been a while since PCS had last organized a 1v1 tournament, so Hajt as a new Tournament Admin decided to do so with the new PCS Project 1on1 #6 !
The participants will undergo a knock-out system competition, whose bracket can be seen (and kept tracked) by clicking on the following link: http://challonge.com/5eraiz18 .
Since there are many strong individual players out there, it's hard to say who will have the final word in the end. Good luck and have fun to everyone !
