I'm not sure what to say, they all seemed like really nice guys, and I hope they really enjoy their experience at the World Cyber Games grand finals, but without doubt, this is the worst performance by a UK team in the finals ever. Losing to Hungary wasn't great, but Hungary might not be as bad as some people think, certainly the UK players rank them as a top 5 team here, but losing to Uzbekistan, is almost unforgivable. Given the ease of their draw (victory over Hungary/Uzbekistan would have seen them up against Slovakia for a spot in the top 8 against Virtus.pro) they should have done better. They can claim no practice, but for a team that has invited sponsors to join them at the event, and given the scale and opportunities associated with the event, why would they not practice? Work/social commitments possibly, but they say, if something's important, you make the time. If they can't make the time to practice for the WCG, do they therefore not regard the event as important?
I hate to criticize, as they can obviously point at me and almost any other UK team and state "Well could you have done better" and the answer is "no, we can't, but they probably should have". Still, truth be known, I would rather have a team that appreciates the World Cyber Games experience every time rather than Four-Kings who last year regarded it as a free holiday. Reason Gaming are great guys, and hopefully with sponsors not on the horizon they will be at the CS: Source summer tournament next year competing at a much higher level.
