Xin Gaming announces COD4 roster then wins EtherSnap



After weeks of scouting Xin Gaming’s administration has hand picked the finest fraggers for it’s Oceanic Call of Duty 4 team. We are excited to announce our lineup of highly talented players:

- Roster -

- Jacob “Kitfox” Punton (c)
- Jamie “Entice” Kretschmer
- Damien “The Omen” Meddings
- Justin “Ultimate Sacrifice” Tate
- Andrew “eDGe” McLaren
- Simon “Riskkk” Nolan

After 4 days the team still stands undefeated. To add the cherry on top they have also just won the EtherSnap’s COD4 Tournament in Melbourne proving that the possibilities are truly endless.




Kitfox writes on EtherSnap:

The BYOPC event was held at the Sandown Racecourse, well known for being the host of the V8 Supercars Championship. Omen and Ultimate were the first ones to arrive at the venue at 9:30am for a 10pm start. Kitfox and Edge were next to arrive within 10 seconds of each other at 10 to 10 and Riskkk had failed to tell us that his car was broken. So Omen had to drive back to the northern suburbs and pick him up. Luckily, The Counter Strike:Source competition was the first tournament to be held so that left Xin plenty of time to sort their setups out. So the CS:S came and went and it was time for CoD 4, which ended up as Xin vs Soldiers of Freedom in a best of 3 map Grand Final. SoF won the coin toss and chose Strike as their 1st map, Xin responded by choosing Defense and rolled out convincingly taking the first half 12-0. Half time came and SoF found a second wind, taking the next 3 rounds on defense. However Xin were too strong and took the next round for a 13-3 victory on the first map. Omen played a great game topping the scoreboard for Xin Gaming with 23 frags.

It was then time for Xin to choose a map and after Kit’s arm was twisted by Omen we chose Backlot. It proved to be a good choice, however SoF chose defense and pounded Xin with grenades at the start of each round. The first half ended with Xin on top at 8-4, and it was time to dish out some grenades of our own. Xin Gaming held strong and locked down the bombsites extremely well taking the map and the Championship 13-6. Kitfox enjoyed some new RAM while Omen scored a Kinzu mouse. Other prizes won included a PurePwnage Mousepad each as well as PurePwnage “LEET Speakers” and the complete Season1 and Soundtrack of PurePwnage.

Overall it was a good event for the first time it was held and Xin look forward to attending more EtherSnap events in the future.

If you would like to bump into the team be sure to head down to Cydus where they will be holding a lot of their practice nights.
