On Monday 21 May at 20.00, QuadV brings you live coverage of the Intel Core 2 Extreme Challenge Counter-Strike:Source as the playoffs continue with another double header. This time we see Asperity.gg taking on Reason Gaming at 8pm, followed at 9pm by r3 vs five:flow for a place in the final of this competition and a guarenteed £750. Both semi-finals will take place on de_cpl_mill, and can be seen live on QuadTV2 at 8pm with Jay & Joe.

In the first match at 8pm, asperity.gg are definitely the underdogs, as they go up against Reason Gaming, one of 3 UK teams to be invited to the-eXperience 2007. For Reason, former Zboard & uQ player JaFro replaces url, who is on holiday. This could well prove to be costly, as it is unsure whether Reason will field a full 5-man lineup tonight. Will asperity be able to take advantage? Find out on QuadV.com at 8pm!

It's going to be a pretty nerve-racking game, as I'm sure everyone realises Reason are one of (if not the) best teams in the UK and we're definitely the underdogs out of the 4 remaining teams. I'd say we were disappointed to draw them on de_cpl_mill as it is our weakest map by quite a stretch, as shown in the group stage where we lost 22-8 to one.soldier. Regardless, we're happy to make the semi finals and to get the opportunity to play against Reason. I'd also like to thank our sponsors tigit.co.uk & kaweb.co.uk

We may be playing with four players tonight, I'm not sure yet. We are unlikely to come out on top if we do so...but we'll see.

Lineups:

Following this match, at 9pm we see Five:flow take on -r3- in what looks to be a close encounter, and both teams will fancy their chances of taking the victory.

Fiveflow:Repsta

r3 are one of the top UK teams and will require quite something to beat. I feel that as long as we play solidly and as a team we do have a very good chance of beating them, though. It's unfortunate that many of us have exams the following day so won't be able to put in as much practice as we would've liked for this match but we'll give it our all on the night and think we've got a chance of coming out on top.

The game vs five:flow tonight should be very fun to play and watch! This late in the competition there are only skillful teams left, so we should see lots of good stuff. As a team we are confident even though we have done very little practice over the past 2 weeks due to different reasons. Mill is our favourite map as a team so it won't effect us too much in this game.
