Lukin is looking for feedback to his map on our forums HERE so please go DOWNLOAD the map and give it a whirl! Its a little way off of arting yet so we won’t put up piccies just yet 😉

Dignitas New Years Cup

The Team Dignitas cup came to an end today, which saw the undefeated in all Painkiller compititions Vo0 take the win. The cup started on Saturday, at around 12pm GMT and lasted til around 9pm GMT the same night and saw some amazing games take place.

TsN shoutcasted near enough all matches that took place, and also provided video footage through their TvSN program. So a big big thank you goes out to TsN, who did a great job of giving the spectators some fun.

Vo0 got to the final with ease, taking out the following people on his way:

maniax [30-10]
CLains [57-0 / 43-18]
toxter [44-10 / 24-18]
Forrest [45-6 / 15-8]

In the final he came across one of his arch rival enemys (in a friendly way) in Painkiller; Stermy. Stermy had looked strong all tournament, and it was definately going to be a match to remember.

The game started off slowly, but got into a nice pace.. Vo0, however, was not going to lose. Not to anyone.

Vo0 [23-14 / 29-23] Stermy

This sees Vo0 still unbeaten in all tournaments, whether they be online or offline. When will the day he takes his first defeat come?
