TOURNAMENT RESULTS - COUNTER-STRIKE 1.6

RECAPS: Fnatic wins the last tournament of 2006 to go along with a third at the WSVG Finals and second at ESWC. They were by far the most impressive Swedish team of the year, as SK.swe and NiP finished the year in disappointing fashion (only NiP had one notable finish: second at WCG in October).

3D had a poor placing at CPL, but they were consistently among the top finishers in 2006 and placed better than the other top American team, compLexity, at every major tournament. coL, on the other hand, needs to regain their winning ways before Jason Lake has an aneurysm. Nobody has talked about Pandemic, but they had a good finish at the WSVG Finals and a decent showing at CPL. If they can build on these successes, they're going to take a lot of teams by surprise in 2007.

Alternate aTTaX rolled through the WSVG Finals. Pentagram also had an excellent year, and both of these teams should remain near the top in 2007. The biggest question: what happened to wNv.gm? They won WEG on their home turf and then disappeared for the rest of the year.

2007 looks to be a great year for eSports. Kyle “KSharp” Miller rejoins 3D as as they and and other 1.6 teams try their hand at CS:Source, spurred largely by DirecTV's new tournament. But that isn't the only question for 2007. Will wNv.gm show up this year? What team benefited the most from the U.S. roster shake-ups? Will Fnatic remain on top of the Swedish CS scene, or will newly-rebuilt NiP and the always formidable SK.swe come roaring back to reclaim dominance? We’re all looking forward to the action.
