[Championships Europe] Coverage Thread

This weekend the 16 qualifying teams from five weeks of Black Ops 2 have converged on Cologne for the European leg of the finals. The top two teams from eight regions will face off for a place in LA, before the winners then square off for the title of European champions and a share of 10000€ in prize money. The event is being covered by the elite of the gaming press and of course, Decerto are on the scene to bring you the most up to date possible (or at least I’m trying to).
