After already travelling to the KODE5 Global Final 2007 in Moscow, Russia, our Counter-Strike 1.6 team will again be visiting the Motherland to compete in a showmatch against Russia's finest; Virtus.Pro. On Friday, 6th June 2008, our Swede's will play in a showmatch against Virtus.Pro for Russia's first television channel dedicated to computer games, players and Electronic Sports. GamePlayTV will provide host to the top-flight match where spectators who visit the arena will also be able to see the action on several plasma televisions.

The schedule:
  • 16:00 CET - Free entrance for all spectators
  • 18:00 CET - Beginning of showmatch
  • 21:00 CET - Autograph session
  • 22:00-04:00 CET - Party for participants and spectators

The winner of the showmatch, however, will not leave the arena empty-handed as $5,000 will be on the line which is destined to play a major role in the teams' motivation levels - and who'll receive the title: "Champions of Moscow."

Fnatic.CS Team Captain, Patrik "cArn" Sattermon, had the following to say:
We are looking forward to the prospect of not only beating Virtus.Pro on their homeland, but also playing the match on television thanks to GamePlayTV - who will be able to complement what Electronic Sports is becoming and show the world or everyone watching, how rapidly it is evolving. It will be an exciting day for everyone involved, I am sure.

We would like to wish dsn, Archi, f0rest, ins and cArn the best of luck in Moscow, Russia and hope they return triumphant!
