February’s Top 10 is set to be an in-depth one after all the shake-ups from performances at this month’s LAN Event, epic.17. Following suit from last month we’ve also seen a new face enter the rankings once again as well as some unfortunate departures.
epic.17 provided its usual list of surprises as well as allowing a battleground for some more unexpected results, including CeX who somewhat disappointingly were unable to break into the finalist match-up.
This month we can see a few additions to the panel totalling up at 9, allowing a much larger and supportive spread of votes, with voting still working the same way it always has. 10 points awarded for the best team they feel as well as only 1 point for the lowest team, of their choosing.

Here’s what Tom “Gumpster” Gumbleton had to say..
I voted for “Barrage eSports” which was a BEASTS Mix team for my number one due to their win at epic.SEVENTEEN. Other notable mentions for me were nerdRage and uFrag mostly for performances either online and LAN. uFrag’s win over Team CeX cemented them as a Top 4 team in the UK for me, with the potential to go on and do some wonderful things.
March’s Top 10 will be incredibly interesting, with ESL UK Premiership kicking off and insomnia57 so we should see a more accurate picture of the UK Scene currently. I’ll be looking forward to watching all the CS:GO action unfold. Hopefully some of the bigger name teams will keep participating in EU competitions and we see a better UK Scene come of it.
With all of this said, those are the Top 10 standings for February, however with i57 just around the corner… March’s standings are sure to be different.
