In an era of SK-Gaming, mYm and other multigaming organisations we tend to forget about new, up-and-coming teams...
Well, not all of us:

Ultraviolet-Gaming [ http://uv-gaming.eu/ ], based in Ireland, was founded in June 2009.  We support both PC and Console teams across the FPS and RTS genres, spanning such titles as Counter-Strike (1.6 & Source), Call of Duty (COD4 & MW2), Day of Defeat: Source, QuakeLive and Starcraft 2. 

Some of the teams currently carrying the UV banner:

Deleters (Counter-Strike 1.6)

Started in January 2009, Deleters have already thoroughly established themselves in the European CS scene, placing first at PELA LAN in 2009 & obtaining a top 5 finish in EGU 2010, as well as finishing number one in the first and second edition of Kutno LAN.

Team Audax (Call of Duty 4)

A new lineup bringing in some big names such as Shifteh (formerly in TCM) and XyZZZ (formerly in Auric), Team Audax is poised to strike swiftly for the top of COD4 in Europe.

Recently, Ultraviolet announced our first Xbox 360 team for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (DRM), who will be representing the organisation at EGE and ECL2 in October.

On top of this, we’re looking to expand our roster with teams in games such as Team Fortress 2, Halo 3 and Starcraft 2.

The first session of the Munster Super League for Super Street Fighter 4 players took place in the Moviedrome in Limerick on Saturday 19th June. Six players were in attendance and a league format was used. DooM proved his dominance with Guile, and ensured the trip from Dublin was not a wasted one, by going undefeated. Orim also made the journey from Dublin to run DooM close but a single defeat to the session winner forced Orim to settle for 2nd. FutureGuy finally broke the trend as a local player by taking 3rd.

Session 2 has been announced. This will take place on Saturday 26th June from 13:00 GMT. Once again, the tournament will cost €8. 

Prize: Bragging rights from session, €2 goes into prize fund for end of season, €1 goes into travel fund for end of season (train ticket to Dublin for finals).

Points Format:
Attendance - 1 point
Win (groups / league) - 2 points
1st - 10 points
2nd - 8 points
3rd - 6 points
4th - 4 points
5-8th - 2 points
