At 21.30 Call of Duty Eurocup takes to the knockout stages tonight and the crunch game of the benelux community. WSVG champions will have still be on cloud nine after their win in Dallas, but local rivals Defuse kids will look to ground them.
Tek-9 are the obvious favorites after their WSVG triumph but defusekids, their opponents tonight, should not be underestimated. Both teams will be lacking in practice with no smoke but Tek-9 are at an added disadvantage with L-King on holidays and plaZma having to take his place. Defusekids are a well-organized outfit and taking on Tek-9 will bring with it an added motivation for this all-Belgian side. Whether they have the talent to pull off an upset here is another matter however and they will need to find a way past Tek-9's patient defense on Dawnville if they are to have any hope. Knaller's scope will be a constant thorn in dk's side without the protection of a smoke grenade and if left unchallenged, the young Dutchman might just clean up here.
TosspoT will bring you all the action on QuadV Radio 2!

In an article over at SK Gaming, Richard "_evan" Armstrong takes a look at the role of the press in eSports, and has some very favourable comments to make about both Paul "ReDeYe" Chaloner and Stuart "TosspoT" Saw
The article reads:
There are some figure heads among the media however who go above and beyond the call of duty time and time again. Their drive, ambition and will to improve competitive gaming, is awe inspiring. Be it criticizing the WSVG on its age restrictions, developing a new shout casting and broadcasting station, sending a team to Quakecon for the benefit of a community that was neglected by the professional circuit, or hosting the first competitive LANs in Europe for two games that deserved so much more.
Anyone looking for a role model in the eSports media, heck even just gaming in general. You need look no further than the boys down at QuadV, ReDeye and TosspoT. They are in essence not just covering the industry but furthering it!
