How much have you been able to focus on the CEVO play with you making it to the CGS World Final?

Preparing for the world final has taken up the majority of our time. However, practicing on LAN for the world finals, and the regular season for that matter, has been paramount to the cs teams success.

For the first portion of the season, the guys were able to play from their own home on fast Internet connections. Once they got to the apartments, the Internet was much slower. It was significantly faster from last season and was great for our website needs, however they received heavy amounts of loss while playing online. I don’t think those later online results will be reflected in our playoff performance.
