We enter the last sixteen teams remaining in the event as they battle itout to become one of the last eight. Tonight's map de_train will test the tactics of the teams as much as it will require their instant and accurate aim to eliminate their opponents. Following closely behind cpl_mill, de_train is a favourite match map of mine because of the demanding tactics emaplyed to break through what often becomes a series of one on one battlesaccross the wdith of the map probing for an opening to shoehorn the team through and out into the open bombsites.

The second group of teams step up and take the opportunity to stake their claim to a berth in the second stage of this knockout section in the tournament.
