Radium is fielding two teams this season for CEVO with an Amateur squad and a Professional squad. The professional team is lead by team captain Popeye and consists of the roster Radium fielded for the March Madness Tournament recently held by CEVO. Our teams have been anxious to start the new seasons and are looking forward to competing in both CEVO Season 5 and CyberGamer's first season in U.S. competitive play.
Amateur Team
Radium's Amateur team wins the first preseason match of CEVO Season 5 against Vo|tage. The Vo|tage team consisted of 50Cent, Mnsis, FREYYYY, Knox<3, and Paragon. After some early smack talking by Vo|tage during some public server play earlier in the day our team was ready to let out some aggression.
Due to a last minute internet connection issue for MFX, we made a quick substitution for  Nemmeh to start in tonight's match. The final roster consisted of Phaze, Marian, BigEasy, Sammeh, and Nemmeh. Radium started out with a quick win of the knife round and choose Attack as the first side choice. The team got out to an early lead of 5-0 before dropping a few rounds due to player misque's which resulted in a few teamkills. Our lack of focus let Vo|tage grab 2 quick rounds. We regrouped and made the proper adjustments to finish the half 8-4.
Going into defense we played passively the first round and soon found that Vo|tage was playing even more passively. After some positioning we were able to get a few quick kills and secured a first round win. Radium did not let up and powered through to secure a final 2nd half score of 5-1 ending the match with a solid 13-5 win.
Professional Team
Radium's Professional team fell in a close 11-13 loss against Just 4 Fame tonight. Radium has been eager to play but unfortunately could not field it's starting 5 players. Cash substituted for StmpN for tonight's match, after some early rounds of back and forth J4F was able to secure their preseason match win.
The professional team will be competing against the top U.S. teams this season in both CEVO-Professional and CG-Invite and we expect them to do very well. I'm sure they'll have a great showing next week when the regular season starts with the first map being Crash.
Good luck to all teams this season, we hope everyone enjoys it. |
