So, here I am on quite a dull afternoon eagerly waiting for the ESWC Masters of Paris to begin at the end of the week. It will be my first event travelling with Fnatic and I hope that it looks as good as it does with the others in the galleries!

Over the coming days I am planning to release an interview with either one or more of the guys from the Counter-Strike 1.6 team to not only get their thoughts on the event, but also about what has been happening in the past such as their recent performances at DreamHack etc. Who would you like to see interviewed?

Coverage for the tournament will also be released in about two days time so, as usual, you can find the teams progression in the "Counter-Strike 1.6" section but don't forget Cypher will also be participating in Quake 3 Arena!

I am looking forward to meeting everyone in Fnatic, especially since I've been here now for well over a year but haven't actually seen anyone in person! Looking forward to meeting the CS guys a lot and also people from other organisations such as SK Gaming and ELC.

I will try to do my best coverage at the event for CS such as writing articles if I can kick my creativity into gear (normally comes around at night time), live game blogs -- depending on where I am -- and if you have any suggestions please write them below.
