Schroet Kommando.swe once again prove to all the superiority in Counter Strike. Became the first champions for all CPL history which have defended the title. Before nobody managed to win this tournament 2 times successively. You know perfectly well that bds & co were in difficult situation, 3 guys were sick during the tournament. And SpawN again helped guys to achieve this victory. SK.swe played nice matches against TSO, Online, rdw and NoA. And now they are still the main heroes at the Counter Strike stage.

SK.swe @ de_train

This map was played very strong by SK. At all last tournaments scandinavians did not give a chance to their opponents to win it.
Match versus TSO was kind of it.

SK: HeatoN, Potti, elemeNt, SpawN, ahl
tso: Scott, stabbert, Kirsh, duong, King

SK as Terrorist: This match was easy for SK.swe. Only in some rare moments TSO could win the rounds, but at all their advantage was absolute. During the all match SK used followed tactics:

• In first round elemeNt ran through the center and than camped all trainyard from the roof. SpawN and ahl attacked from the ladder. Heaton and Potti ran to the alley and moved to central area(flashed bombplant). This tactic was used also in some weapon rounds. Usually SpawN and elemeNt were wiht awp in their hands. It was big opportunity for SK cause in 10-th round, they killed 4 enemies.
• Second variant was used only at once. ElemeNt drops all types of grenades from the center, ahl and SpawN do the some thing
  from the ladder. But final target was other plant, plant with roof, which was absolutely clear.
• In last variant SK rushes bombplant A, all forces attacks through the low way using smokes. ElemeNt covers back.

SK as Counter Terrorist: First part of the game was finished with 11-1 score. So we could not see SK playing CT. Only we can say that in first round they used same to WCG 2003 Grand Final match layout. Heaton and SpawN camp from the main roof. Potti camps central entrance. Ahl and elemeNt are responsible for bombplant A. So as we said this match was easily won by SK.swe.

SK.swe @ de_cpl_mill

We can not say that this map was played strong by some team. Teams do not use some big global tactics on it, and gamers just make a bet for their teamplay and individual skill. Guys from SK did the same. They played against team Online, Bengan played for Online, he also played for SK year ago.

SK: Element, HeatoN, Potti, SpawN, ahl.
Online: Bengan, Mikk, Jesse, phyrre, Ost

First half SK.swe began to play for Terrorists side. They used one layout, which they showed form round to round.

SK as Terrorists: SK devides to 2 groups. First(ahl, Heaton and Potti) run to left hall, and wait there some rushing CT's. SpawN and elemeNt do the same work in right hall. After this team regroups and do next movements: SK moves to bombplant A from central entrance and from the left hall, also they use flashes smokes, SpawN usually holds position in the right hall and camps the enemies, which will run to help to guys on bombplant A. Potti and elemeNt also use a boost on the box, which is situated on plant A, you can control all plant from this box. SpawN can go to central area or go trough the right hall to kill helping CT's in their back. Target of second layout is bobmplant B, these scheme was used only at once. Heaton runs in the tunnels, SpawN makes some panic in the central area, all others try to rush plant B trough the right hall. In ECO-rounds SK.swe rushes plant A through the left hall.

SK as Counter Terrorists: SK also uses one default layout, when they play for defending side. Only first round was kind of interesting. Ahl, Heaton and Potti are camping exit from the right hall, standing near or on one box. SpawN is responsible for central area, elemeNt for bombplant B. In weapon rounds Heaton and ahl control plant A together, they are situated near box in the center of bombplant, Potti controls tunnels and helps to guys on plant, if they need it. SpawN camps central entrance with m4a1, sometime he uses awp. ElemeNt holds bridge near plant B, and sometimes rushes to the right hall. In ECO-rounds SK devides into pairs and rushes from different points.

SK.swe @ de_cbble

When Counter Strike 1.6 appeared map de_cbble was changed a little bit. Some changes made play for CT's easier, which SK.swe
successfully used.

SK as Counter Terrorist: At all we can say that scandinavians use 2-3 layout. 2 guys usually defend bombplant B, other guys are responsible for plant A. In the begining of pistol round ahl makes little rush from the central line, SpawN does the same thing from the left hall. But we could not see how it works, because it was T's rush on plant B. Ahl goes to help them, SpawN tries to kill enemies in their back. In weapon rounds SpawN makes little rushes to caentral tunnel, if he is there SK.swe can be sure that he will kill some terrorist anyway. Ahl usualy clears left hall. If ahl and SpawN spot enemies, they go back to respawn, Heaton is waiting for them at CT respawn. Also A plant guys use some different boosts, what help them with their defending work. Heaton, fisker and Potti come to plant B, they check rush there, if there is no rush Heaton run to help plant A guys. Fisker camps exit from the house with awp from plant, Potti helps him, he is standing close to house.

SK.swe @ de_nuke

German team mouz were the pretenders for high places. But they lose their matches to SK and NoA with 2:13 score. They lose SK at de_nuke.

SK as Terrorist: SK again did not create something new, scandinavians just use one rule. Count of their attacking forces has to be higher than defending forces of mouz. SK just rushed ramp or mainhall. Everytime ahl or Potti tried to come in CT's back. Mainhall layout was: ahl + Heaton rushed through the little house, fisker + elemeNt rushed through the door. Potti was responsible for back of his team.

SK as Counter Terrorist: We can not say a lot about SK's CT side, because they played just 3 rounds as CT's. We can only say what they did in this short period of the game. Heaton + fisker camped ramp, ahl and Potti defended mainhall, staying on bombplant. ElemeNt covered outside area and helped mainhall guys, if they need that.

SK.swe @ de_nuke

Match versus NoA seemed to be hardest for SK on this tournament.

SK as Terrorists: First part(8 rounds) of the game, main target of SK attacks was bombplant B. And of course scandinavians used all types of grenades. In the begining of every round SK used this layout: fisker checked rush from the CT's house, elemeNt, Heaton and Potti were waiting for him in banana hall. Ahl was responsible for central area. From 9 to 11 rounds SK just rushed bombplant A: fisker and elemeNt rushed through the house, Potti and ahl supported them from central entrance.

SK as Counter Terrorists: First round SK lose to NoA, so they did not buy weapons and aromors during 2 next rounds.

• In 2 ECO-rounds SK.swe did: all team camped plant A, in second variant they just rushed from all directions of the map.
• Also in ECO-rounds used "camping B" tactic. Total layout is: elemeNt camps plant B from different points, Heaton is running between two bombplants. Ahl usually defends exit from the house, Potti and fisker camp central area, but sometimes they used "boost" at the central area. So it were different variants in defense, so you can find more in demo.

SK.swe @ de_dust2

Final CPL match versus NoA. I think all spectators were waiting for SK vs. 3D final match, but strong mixteam of american and norwegian players made a sensation on this tournament. So we will talk about SK vs NoA match CPL Winter final game.

SK: HeatoN, Potti, SpawN, elemeNt, fisker
NoA: Naikon, knoxville, bsl, method, shaGuar

SK as Terrorists: In this match SK did not show some special or new layouts. They just tried to kill some of the defenders in the begining of the round, and after they rush plant A or plant B from any directions. In first round Knoxville fragged SpawN at short A, after SK tried to rush plant A from short way, but that attack was not successful. In Second round SK camped in B tunnels, NoA lose some forces but at all score became 2-0 to NoA. In next round SK.swe rushed plant B from central area and from B tunnels. Fisker vs Naikon duel was won by fisker and it made score 2-1 to NoA. Than NoA did 2 ECO-rounds and SK easily made score 2-3 to SK. Next 6-th round we can call most important in the match for NoA. SK easily attacked plant A from long A and from short A, but they lose some forces, cause method killed fisker and SpawN with awp. But this moment did not stop SK, and from 3-5 situation  they win the round, so 2-4 to SK. When the score was 2-5 to SK elemeNt and fisker cleared plant B, they killed defending bsl and shaGuar. And score changed to 2-6 to SK. Successful rushes to bombplant B helped to SK to make score 2-8, this score was quite comfortable for scandinavians. May be they lose some concentration after this and this moment helped to NoA to change score to 4-8. NoA defends plant A very good, because it was very hard for SK to rush this bombplant. But SK used 1-2-2 layout when they attack plant A, and sometimes it was good to rush this bombplant on the map.

SK as Counter Terrorists: SK.swe had to win 5 rounds, this result could make them CPL Winter 2003 Champions. SK easily won pistol round. SpawN and Heaton camped long A, elemeNt camped exit from short A, standing on bombplant. Potti was responsible  for plant B, he just controled it, watching in through the window. Fisker camped central entrance. NoA rushed plant B, planted the bomb but it was not a plroblem for SK to kill all the enemies and defuse the bomb after it. In NoA's ECO-round SpawN's multi-kill added one point to SK. In third round SK used this layout: SpawN camped short A, elemeNt did the same on long A, Heaton was running between long and short A. Fisker controled cntral area. Potti was boosted on the box near B tunnels exit. NoA decided to attack short A and Heaton with SpawN easily killed all the enemies. In last 2 rounds SK stayed tuned and finished match with 13-5 score.

Well done by SK. Congratulations and Good Luck to SK in next tournaments.
