What an exciting news!!  H2k.Thermaltake team won the 2nd place at the CPL Nordic 2006.  H2k.Thermaltake really proved that seeding doesn’t have an impact on the team; the team started the tournament as underdog (seeded 15th in 16 teams) and ended it like hero. Despite being the 2nd place winner, H2k.Thermaltake proved to be a world class team and a team of the future by beating #6 team in the world “Made in Brazil” in the quarter final. At the same time, #5 team in the world “69°N-28°E” and the legendary “SK” team both finished behind H2k.Thermaltake in this tournament.

CPL (Cyberathlete Professional League) is the world's first videogame sports league and has been the major force in the transformation of videogame competitions to a professional sport. This year, CPL Nordic 2006 was held during Dreamhack, which is the worlds largest LAN-party with thousands of participants.  There were 7752 participants (excluding visitors) at Dreamhack this year, and Guinness Book of World Records was there to document it for this new world record.
 
CPL Nordic 2006 started on Nov. 30th and ended on Dec. 3rd.  There were16 skilful professional teams battling for four days and only one team could win the ticket to CPL 2006 Championship Finals in the USA. On the final day, it was Nip and H2k.Thermaltake going head to head. Two teams engaged intensely for hours, unfortunately H2k.Thermaltake wasn’t able to go all the way and win the ticket to Dallas, Texas in the USA; yet it was still a glorious moment for the team.
