Last Monday was the final match in Season 8, for team Nerve. We played Frag University on de_cbble, we won both sides 8-4 to win 16-8.

We are looking forward to next season, and we may have some surprises in store before next season starts.

Team Nerve Establishes LAN Training Center

Team Nerve is pleased to announce the establishment of a full-time office in downtown Vancouver where the team is in the process of creating the world's first Counter-Strike Training Center.

Located near all of British Columbia's major telecommunications centers, the Nerve Training Center offers a LAN environment complete with high performance gaming computers and a fiber-optic Internet Connection.

The team will utilize it as a headquarters from which to play League matches and prepare for major LAN tournaments. Nerve-affiliated teams, such as the recently sponsored CSG.nerve, will also use the Training Center.

More importantly, the Training Center will be slowly developed as a competitive gaming training center, where established pro gamers will conduct workshops and mini-classes for gamers wanting to improve their skills.

Professional gamers such as Fatality and X3 have paved the way for providing training to aspiring competitive gamers. Our goal is to create a model for the delivery of high quality training in a first-class learning environment, says Andrew Henderson, Team Nerve's Business Manager.

Team Nerve can be reached by sending nerve . Henderson an email at: henderson@teamnerve.com.

Nick Galan of Team Nerves corporate sponsor, the Nerve Center Internet Caf鬠notes: This roster provides the team with the depth, skill and experience it needs to compete with the top teams in the world. As the stakes get higher in the world of competitive Counter-Strike, fielding the right group with the right elements and chemistry must be every teams top priority. I believe we have accomplished this with our current lineup.

Combined, this group has 15 CPLs, 2 WCGs, and multiple LAN and online accomplishments. It has also won in excess of $50,000 in team winnings. In short, our players know what it means to compete at the highest levels, and they know how to win.
