Tonight saw RiZe|Aim and dignitas|worre play the final of the IndeWEB ( wwww.indeweb.de ) Painkiller Challenge Cup #1. Both players are from Sweden and are bootcamping along with Tybalt. Both players reach the final having played against the likes of SK|SteLam, e-star|Ztrider, dignitas|canna and play.it|vicious to name a few.

The first map was DM_Sacred (worres map choice), which saw a tentative start by both players. Worre managed to get solid map control and rack up the frags. Despite Aims efforts, the score finished: Worre 15 – 13 Aim

The second map was DM_Absinthe (Aims map choice), which saw Worre get early control. With some impressive stake use by Worre putting stop to Aims comebacks at times. Worre finishing ten frags ahead; Final score: Worre 19 – 9 Aim

With CPL Spain only 10 days away, it will be interesting to see how these players fair there.

Over on the CPL forums, Fireblade has posted a solution for players with nvidia graphics cards and audigy sound cards, experiencing occasionally hitching while playing PK.

You can find the thread here, with a more detailed step-by-step guide here.

The fix includes installing the latest drivers for each piece of hardware, as well as some tweaks and checks.

The results of the tweak are to improve the smoothness of rendering within PK, as well as resolving the occasional hitching experienced by some gamers with this configuration.
