How well is this tournament actually received by the "mainstream" community ?

They don't want to release the numbers. One of the reasons why they would not is because there may be little to brag about.

maybe the numbers are too big for silly gaming journalists to understand!

omg! CGS sympathizer.. gtfo my ESR now

[-][-][-][-][-][-][-]

Birmingham pooned on dem brazilians

in a decent outcome of this universe this shouldn't be front page news on ESR because nobody cares

dont you ever have anything positive to say like EVER

https://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1476216#pid1476216

you had a headache that day? :P

actually this time he's right :)
most people are quake players here
I don't care how much money CGS have, the guys which decided to let quake away can stick their money right in their...

arrange some quake tournys then :)

YOU SUCK

Sujoy has been running this site for over 6 years now without charging users a dime. In return users shouldn't complain when the admins put somtehing related to Sujoy's job on the frontpage. If it such a big problem for you guys then filter it out or stay away until the event is over.

I care :)

congrats on the win x

yes but you are there, so you dont need news on esr to get updates ;P

Gratz, good luck in the next round mate :)

Grats, and I care too so thanks Nicky.

Birmingham Salvo - What a shitty name? kthx

I care

I care because you do

:))

To bad I cannot see it live in Holland.

was curious where it was, so i assume holland...? Or maybe not - it depends how you meant this sentence :D

Ah, its in LA?

yes

nice first price money :)

c'mon kinetic \o/

Wuhan owned :D So much for their $30k salaries :D

gogo Liefje

With the Wuhan Dragons unable to attend due to visa issues, the USA prove they are a bunch of cunts yet again. Why cant CGS let Wuhan play their matches online?

um, what?

didnt get that either..

he has a point though although he is looking at it wrong, for this "big grand final main event" with international teams and so on, for one of them being unable to attend due to visa's is a little silly.
sure, it aint the fault of the US, but rather the team themselves and the CGS. its one of those things that should have been sorted months ago and is quite disappointing to see.

why whats the problem?

u got it (not)

hahahahahaha

thats what i said when i saw your Munoz interview

owned

link?

Cause I haven't seen it...

he interviewed Angel? must have missed that, you sure you're not thinking of rome and wheat?

*bristles agitatedly*

aaaah!

/wrist

/me watches him bleed to death over rome...

Good job finding that interview that never happened...

almost cared for a second

but you have to care dude, Liefje is playing in the pink DoA tourney !!

thats the one, second

JasonX & Ch0mper -vs- Daveyskills & NeoJake might possibly the best match of the entire competition!

Don't really care who wins, would be nice if they were European, purely for bragging rights.

norn iron ftw \o/

ya uh this was definately one of the dumbest things to watch on tv last night. really only beat by paid programming and qvc

with that said, its a shame because this could be a lot better, even with such bad games.

Go Go Leifje \o/_

Wow you'd think after 2 years you would at least be able to spell it right

haha lol! typo ;(

Best comment ever ;)

So is it Liejfe now?



http://thecgs.com/index.php?s=stats&r=99&...game=34941

awwww, 5-0

Thanks to everyone who cares, the studio is really incredible and I can't wait to play on monday.

sad you're 0 - 5
go back to quake you sell out.

where can i watch this programme?

I tried watching a CGS thing once, i'd rather put a bullet in my head.

When will this childish community grow up? Am I the only one who wants to put some legitimately good shit together? I've got a million dollars... it's in my pants.

I'm not fucking around here. Me and Thresh (who is a big homo, btw), could easily put some better shit together for 0 dollars. I'm saying me and him could throw together exhibition matches with just the two of us and garner more interest and more spectators than some million dollar gay-face tourney.

loler cat eyez
http://file001.thecgs.com/images/competition_images/26011.jpg

will we have this as the very last news until it ends? :(

it will be sticky as every other event is yes... you can always filter your news :)

add a CGS category so we can filter it out

isnt that hard to filter css/consoles/wow is it now :P unless ofc i just tick Q3 for shits and giggles x

i don't wanna tick Consoles
since my own news are in that category :P

america kicked ass in this one

I hope that Berlin CSS will lose, to teach that arrogant fag not to select the best CSS (fnatic css) team in the world. but some random CS 1.6 dudes.

Fnatic lost in the cgs qualifier tournament and in challenge matches against NOA and Eyeballers.

And yet they are still no1 team in Europe

They lost the qualifier... you can't select a team that does not qualify dumb ass.

fnatic css is losing all over the place

If they actually win he's proven he made the right decision and fnatic is not the best CSS team in which case he's not an 'arrogant fag' ;-)

lolwhat? complexity is the best css team in the world

Ends In: 5 days

christ.. 5 more days with this stickied garbage

then filter the games out idiot.

see #49 you idiot.

then it is your own problem retarded asshole. As i've said before, filter it or stop whining.

u stop whining about me whining, jeez what nerve

cant you just fucking scroll down or stop looking at the post or something?

no :<

ofc he cant ! he would have nothing to whine about then x

Wuhan Dragons didn't even show up, and still get paid???

then why should any team actually show up to the finals. Isn't that a flaw in the system?? Last to quit wins first place!

i dont know if they do or not tbh i just shoved them there... but i really dont know one way or the other. will try and find out

changed it for now, but i have mailed the chappy to see what happens, not sure of what the rules are for them not turning up

They would if they could, since there is about 500 000 to the winning team. Of course visa from countries like China and Russia to the US is afaik very difficult to obtain.

If DirecTV and other uber corporations behind the whole thing actually bothered, they could probably secure the visa fairly easy. But honestly, who would want a Chinese team winning a competition primarily aimed at US and UK audience?

You overestimate the CGS' power. Getting a Visa takes time even from US friendly countries, and getting one from China would takea long time AFAIK. DirectTV and the other corporations behind it aren't going to be able to snap their fingers and get Visas instantaniously for video game players. Remember they need a visa that allows them to work in the US for a short amount of time, not just visit.

[+]'ed for the effort :D

Watched the CGS (or rather about team Magnetic or whatever their name was, Heaton etc) documentary on swedish television yesterday and it seemed quite...cool.

Playing CS for 8 hours/day must be boring though. "But...now you know that you're on that high level and will stay there unless you stop playing totally, so now we don't have to play as much as before. Now we only play like 5 hours/day"

I get burned out on a game from only playing it like five hours/week. :}

This is no real world final because the Chinese representatives have been denied entry by the xenophobic US government! This event has nothing to do with true nature of e-sport, celebration of human will and mental ability, free of any physical, political or other restrictions. Watch as the subculture we carried on our backs for a decade bends over for the corporate vampires!


(I can get even more Jonesy if u wish!)

I can't even tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but god i hope you are.

about majority of americans being xenophobic cunts? serious, rest of it is pure madness

some similar thing was happening (speaking about manipulation) with the last Olimpic Games where iranian weightlifting team was accused they used doping substances in their preparation; afaik all weightlifters at that level use that; so the only iranian which was going there was the heavyweight champion because it would have been a big scandal else and too much mass-media attention would have been dangerous for these fuckers from committee

there is a difference between being accused and tested positively.
And those test were done by the national anti-doping agency.

So they manipulated themselves or what?

No wait. Probably some CIA agent bribed the Iranian officials to fake those tests cause they were afraid those weight lifters would find out the truth about 9/11. Making up conspiracy theories is so easy :)

Or another one, the Bulgarian coach intentionally gave them the drugs so they would be disqualified and his countrymen had a better chance to win.

i think he said ALL weight lifters took those drugs, it's just that it was pointed out in one instance... as in discrimination


did i read that wrong? I am dyslexic.

Well, he accused every bodybuilder of doping and I would actually agree with that. But the Iranians were dumb enough to get caught in the tests all athletes have to take. And they got punished for that.

If that's discrimination then almost every country has ben discriminated against in various sports.

now that you said that I remember how Ben Johnson get caught for the second time and he was eliminated for life
but the iranians story...I don't think is a coincidence
even if Iranian officials were testing their mens, something is stinky there...just remember how about one week ago americans were argueing with russians whether does or does not have iranians long range missiles, americans said they have, and one day later iranian officials were announcing their new long range missiles, giving the americans the excuse to put their missiles in the middle of Europe; coincidence ? don't think so
something's going on there and the manipulation and dissinformation when it is about politics have no limits
but we are going too far off topic

and I thought my conspiracy theory was ridiculous enough.

you can't even say it is conspiracy
this is the way things go at that level

but I can and will say that your theory is ridiculous.

go and say it, I don't care
just don't get too confident into your authorities
by the way, why do germans chop the movies ?
doesn't this bother you ?

i don't trust the authorities that much, I'm just not paranoid.

I guess they chop them to be able to show them to a wider audience. And because of whining mommies or whatever. I don't really care about it since I don't watch TV and prefer downloading movies in their original language.

On the other hand most movies from America have been censored during the production anyway so it's not like we are the only ones.
Only difference is that our censors tend to only take out some of the violent and gory stuff, while the Americans also censor language and sexuality. Nudes as long as it's not pornographic and bad language are no problem here.

well I was watching Under Siege one old crappy movie with Steven Seagal, back in 1996/98 (?) and the movie was so stupid because many times scenes were just choppend in the middle of the action and you could not understand the movie anymore, like wtf, who won there, what happened next ? your germans were chopping movies badly, I was selling my parabollic antenna in the past because that
not to mention a few days ago I just watched for a few minutes The Rock on some hungarian TV post and there was a similar thing, The Rock don't have "disturbing" material in it and yes, they chopped language there too just because the language (the scene where some soldier say "You're lucky that old man Hummel wants you alive.'Cause I'll take pleasure in guttin' you, boy."); hungarians are following your path, I am a little bit surprised they accept that, hungarians did not used to censor their movies, not even in the comunist era (excepting the political content maybe)
the movies should have a rating and your argument "I guess they chop them to be able to show them to a wider audience" just prove they discriminate other people and the creators of the movie and is silly in his whole content; well if they want to make the movie accessible for more people then when are they gonna present the movie as it is ? never ?
the fact that you can see the movies because you watch them on Internet is more an exile than a feature, don't worry, these stupid fags will get there too
newer windows media players are starting to ask you validations for your movies, and this is only the beginning
in the future your beloved leaders will have you under such control that they will know every button you press on the keyboard, every "illegal" movie you will download from torrent sites and you will have to pay penalty tickets or they will even throw you in jail for that
the whole develop of the science will be under control and will develop much harder (if it is not happening already), only after your beloved leaders have been squeeze all possible money from old technologies
paranoia ? just look on the Internet if you just spend your life there; look how Microsoft manage his business, look at the quality of their software, look at the crappy games which come out every year, where from do you think the things come from ? from the same people with much money that make transactions and businesses in the real world;
see how we get into paranoia ?
see my next jameriosize comment (not my words, this time)

relax.

I said I don't care about it, not that I completely agree with all of the censorship. However i can see where showing very gory scenes in other unbloody movies might cause kids to have nightmares.
But i really don't have any discussion about if that's the parents responsibility or whatever.

However I have now idea how you can interpret "I don't trust the authorities" into saying that they are my beloved leaders.

I'm very opposed to those kinds of censorship you mentioned as well a the protection of privacy. But you will have to explain to me how that's related to cutting movies. Cause the cutting is done by the film agencies themselves to better sell their own films.
The government doesn't have a hand in that. Facts, do you know what they are?

I am not nervous or something :)
I don't have to know the names of departments and all their jobs to just observe the results
never looked to this censoring/chopping think like to a good thing
now your leaders decide what to watch and what not, tommorow other things come in place

you are either a moron or you can't read worth shit.

Here try this:

THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT CENSOR MOVIES.

If you knew anything about the topics you ramble about you would know that. Or if at least you read what I who live in this country for 27 years now write you would now that.

Your reply only proofs you complete resistance to facts whenever they don't fit in with your paranoia.


If the CIA said 1 + 1 = 2 you would not try to find a way to prove them wrong. No, you would declare they are wrong and leave it at that.

there was somebody deciding to chop the movies at some level in some department, whatsoever
most movies don't have variants
your leaders means people with much money, people with decision power, whether they are in your government now or not is not important (they are the same)

So my leaders are now average people who cut films. That's good to know.

if there are movie versions for younger people what makes them choose these movies? money? the fact there is a bigger audience should make a usual mature man happy and accept that resulting piece of shit movie?
germans don't care about that because there is no evidence to link their leaders to the nasty real fact
there was no direct evidence to link Hitler to the concentration camps mass genocide too
why when you hear the word leader you must think exactly just at your Kaiser? he have friends there too, some have administrative functions, other not, there is some paranoic term called influences, not all bad things come from superior levels but swim in the system
zieg heil! germans...

no it's to make the wider audience happy, they are people you know...

And I talking about kids and in that case they don't chose the movies but their parents do.
You know just like your parents told you you can't go out in shorts in the middle of the winter. It's a kind of censorship, sure.

"no it's to make the wider audience happy, they are people you know..." so in order to make their audience happy they choosed to chop movies?

"And I talking about kids and in that case they don't chose the movies but their parents do." so their parents said "we want all Hollywood movies hardly censored for our children" this is full of logics, you don't have solid evidence to sustain this too, you just take a guess here
what I see is the result, in fact what I have seen, I stopped watching german TV channels because they all suck because that

your authorities choose for you what to accept and what not, how to think and how to behave

yes, that is what movie makers often do.

I guess if you were to decide they should just make bad movies...

movies makers censore their own movies
have anybody here seen the Schindler's List movie version for the children ?

Yes, there is evidence linking Hitler to concentration camps.

You posts about German history show nothing but you complete ignorance. For example they came to power by making up stories about how the government sold Germany out at the end of WWI. Yuo know stories like you are posting.
They mostly used fear and prejudices to gain power. Fear of communism or poverty and fear you own people and prejudices against Jews.
In fact if you look closely you are trying the same thing trying the fear of facism and prejudices against Americans as arguments.

Criticism especially when well founded is always good and essential for a working community. Paranoid, unproven ramblings about freedom and evil forces is what starts wars.

I did not propose laws which restrain the liberty of people like nazis have done, I sustain the rights of individual
in fact not that there were no evidences for the people that HItler had connection with those camps, many people did not even know about their existence

That is true, the evidence only came to the light much earlier.

And as I said before I'm aware that a lot of bad things are going on.
Just a week ago the Americans reserved the right to kidnap foreign business men in other countries. That is something you should write.

It's criticism and it's founded on actual proof.

"Paranoid, unproven ramblings about freedom and evil forces is what starts wars"
no, nations leaders starts wars
if they have faithfull people like you to sustain them

If you ever get around to reading history books you could notice how wrong you imagination is.


The People (actually only 33%, another fact you either didn't know or just ignored) voted Hitler because of his lies. Because they didn't question his statements and how idiotic his arguments were. They just went on to believe in a big evil in the world.

germans were allways more easy to control than other because their natural gift to have faith and blindly love their authorities, just like you do now

Yes i love my government because I disagree with you.
It can't possibly be that you are wrong even in one single point.
You are indeed infallible and therefore have no need for facts.
They would just diminish your awesomeness.


Fools are easily controlled by feeding them stories which small group for everything. Thus giving them both the feeling that nothing bad is their fault while also feeling awesome because they are against a greater evil.

You would indeed be most likely to fall for hitler.

While in Germany as history tells us if we bother to check the normal conservative people mostly continued to vote for their conservative party. But the poor one without hope voted the NSDAP.

after German was loosing WWII the germans in my country were blaming romanians saying they are traitors because in 23 August 1944 they turned their weapons against germans

when in fact at that time Romania had two leaders, Ion Antonescu and Mihai de Hohenzollern, well guess what, the romanian leader got arrested being given up to the russians by the Hohenzollern guy, which also got the command of the romanian army and announced the turn, so who was the traitor ?
and I was hearing that blame for my whole childhood, germans used to talk a lot about that all the time
so yes...germans says it all!

I was growing up with germans and one think I can say for sure: they were all retarded, used to ask me all the time this and that
their only inclination was for discipline therefore they were very easy to control
one a little bit smarter kid started to act like me, and he had a lot of trouble with his parents because they said "he is out of control, omg"

and in fact your autorities remove all violent scenes from movies because they know you are retards and are affraid of your behaviour, they treat you all like you are some 10 years old stupid kids

censoring scenes from movies is a crime against art and against basic human rights

:D

so this was when ? 1954 ?

HALTS MAUL ENDLICH!

"If you ever get around to reading history books you could notice how wrong you imagination is"
in fact I graduaded with 9 at history, what was your score ?
but I don't have to keep in mind all details to see the big play

hitler held a proxy election where the only party you could vote for was the nazi party and they recieved 80% of the votes XD

thats actually true as well

well, yes.

I was taking about the first election in 1933 that gave him the power.




If you want to reply please do it via im, cause I have to unignore the moron to read anything in this thread.

"I started as a salesman, Mr Beale. I sold sewing machines and automobile parts, hair brushes and electronic equipment. They say I can sell anything. I’d like to try to sell something to you. Valhalla, Mr Beale. Please, sit down. You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr Beale, and I won’t have it. Is that clear? You think you’ve merely stopped a business deal. That is not the case. The Arabs have taken billions out of this country and now they must put it back. It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity. It is ecological balance. You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no Third Worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems. One vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petrol dollars, electro dollars, multi dollars. Reichsmarks, rins, roubles, pounds and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic...and subatomic and galactic structure of things today. And you have meddled with the primal forces of nature. And you will atone. Am I getting through to you, Mr Beale? You get up on your little 21-inch screen...and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T...and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today. What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state? Karl Marx? They get out linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, and compute price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments like us. We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr Beale. The world is a college of corporations...inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr Beale, to see that... perfect world...in which there’s no war or famine, oppression or brutality. One vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit. In which all men will hold a share of stock, all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquillised, all boredom amused. And I have chosen you, Mr Beale, to preach this evangel."
from Network the movie
if you don't agree this is true, then "sieg Heil!" go on and think they won't do that

Whatever feeds your paranoid delusions is nice I guess.

And again someone lacking good arguments playing the "if you disagree you must be a nazi" card. It's getting old you know.


Sure there are lots of weird things, corruption, hidden power struggles and what not going on everywhere. But they all have one thing in common. They make sense for the people connected to them, by giving them power. They are logical.

Punishing a few athletes for the Iran's development of 2000km missiles is not logical. in fact the Americans can be "happy" with those missilies cause it gives them an argument to install their own defensive missiles.

"Punishing a few athletes for the Iran's development of 2000km missiles is not logical"
wow ?
did I said that ? don't think so
punishing a few iranian athletes to compete at the highest level in the most popular mediatised contest (which is once in 4 or 5 years, dunno exactly), when USA (which in fact IS the proeminent world leader now) is trying so hard to start a war against Iran have perfect logic, iranians must give to the people of the entire world the image of terrorists, it is not a good thing iranians athletes win medals on this event and win the sympathy of americans and other people

"the Americans can be "happy" with those missilies cause it gives them an argument to install their own defensive missiles."
of course they are, because on the other hand it is their manipulation, too; any effort and manipulation is good if they can increase the tension between countries and start a war
don't you think iranians are not hand in hand with americans; their common problem is how they can foolish people of the world that there are opponent forces; the suckers will take for that and pay very hard, and the benefitors will be USA and many iranian leaders, which are signing future business agreements already

"They practice Hegalian conflict/resolution. They appear to oppose each other at the bottom ranks, but at the highest levels they are actually organizing and controlling the conflict which they have created to produce the solution that they seek. " ---it's happening once again

Can you make up your mind some day?

either they want to start a war or they work hand in hand. Can't do both.

Oh, wait I think you honestly believe that people who already are rich and have lots of power WISH for a war in their own country. I guess you think that without even knowing the names of the three most influenticial Iranian politicians and what they actually have to lose/win.
If any Iranian would gain something it would be those exiled. And they are NOT the government.

Oh, well I guess I spend way to much time arguing with a retard already. It's not like your mind is susceptible to any kind of argument and/or logic.

Welcome to ignore.

yes they can do both, because there are not just 2 kings (like Achile fake-said in Troia: imagine a war where just the kings should fight)

"Welcome to ignore"
Don't make me suffer now !!
I'm gonna miss you!
A lot!
I have to ignore Ignicock now, so my suffer will be complete!
:)))))))))))))))

I hope so because I've wasted way too much time on some retard from a third world country already.

From where do you get this? Your mind? Or do you have actual experience or factual basis? I'm curious to know.

not every curiosity is a bless

and now why Germany and UK and USA face the censoring stuff first? "We’re the most advanced country so we’ll get there first."

old man to the people:
"Last night I got up here and asked you to stand up and fight for your heritage, and you did, and it was beautiful. Six million telegrams were sent to the White House. The Arab takeover of CCA has been stopped. The people spoke, the people won. It was a radiant eruption of democracy. But I think that was it, fellas. That sort of thing is not likely to happen again, because at the bottom of all our terrified souls we know that democracy is a dying giant, a sick, sick, dying, decayed political concept writhing in its final pain. I don’t mean that the United States is finished as a world power. It is the richest, most powerful, most advanced country in the world. I don’t mean the communists are gonna take over. They’re deader than we are. What is finished is the idea that this great country is dedicated to the freedom and flourishing of every individual in it. It’s the individual that’s finished. It’s the single, solitary human being that’s finished. It’s every single one of you out there that’s finished. Because this is no longer a nation of independent individuals. It’s a nation of some 200-odd million transistorised, deodorised, whiter-than-white, steel-belted bodies, totally unnecessary as human beings and as replaceable as piston rods. Well, the time has come to say is dehumanisation such a bad word? Whether it’s good or bad, that’s what is so. The whole world is becoming humanoid - creatures that look human but aren't. The whole world. We’re the most advanced country so we’ll get there first. The whole world’s people are becoming mass-produced, programmed, numbered and..." etc

btw, nice movie! :)

OMG how you figured it all out debating on a gaming site
internet investigation badge goes to u

yeah, not to mention speaking to that guy is not a good idea: one comment he is very peacefull other comment he become aggressive and then he just say "I'm just not paranoid"
he don't even think on his own, all you hear from him are the words prove and evidence, even if the discussion is about conspiracies and political moves, things which are keep secret with a lot of money and can be deducted only by "unsignifiant" events happening here and there and by making the connections between them
if there would be solid/direct prove/evidence in that so every stupid german and others should understand then half of the governments of the world would fall down

Dortmund

Congratulations! You found out, i'm german. ... no wait.

WE ARE BORG, YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

What is he talking about? :O

about dirty businesses I guess

CGS...

aww ... which one is it ?

Pro-gaming needs to get its style straight. I wouldn't be caught dead at a CGS event. Talk about humiliating and embarrassing. When will pro-gaming people wise up? Pro-gaming reality is retarded. People sitting at desks... wonderful. It's like they take the one real weakness and show it proudly for the world to see. Any idiot knows to hide their weakness, to protect it, and to use their strengths.

lol and you say that on a gaming site...

let's don't forget he is the wisest guy on our site
he solved the religion problem..:-|

hehe

He somehow made everyone atheists? :d

yeah, everybody just bow to his wisdom now

I don't know why I care but.. Go Berlin! :F

go lokomotiv moskow :p

cmon let this event be over soon pls, I'm looking at it on the main page all bloody week.

You can create anything in a video game. It isn't limited like it is with normal games. Yet all we get are these carbon-copies. Clones, containing practically or literally no originality. Just another sport in the pantheon of sports. As if the world needs more generic sports.

For everyone who isn't just a business-schmuck, for inspiration, try listening to the Geto Boys - My Mind Playin Tricks On Me. There has to be someone other than me who wants to do something awesome with this pro-gaming thing. I can't be the only one who would do this thing even if there was no money and never would be.

It shouldn't be a fusion of sports and video games. It should be a fusion of sports and movies.

gg ODEE \o/

join the CGS and get married hehe

seriously now, please make filters for various tourneys like CGS, CPL, WCG etc.

ye bet they have only known each other a couple of mths ;)

7 years

wow they made it to 7yrs! i get that far and get bored :P

They known eachother for seven fucking years and he hasnt proposed until now? :O

not that i delved too much into their personal relationship, but they're pretty young as far as I could tell, so were probably just waiting for the right time.

Good point.

Bitter bastard.

romance stunt

Just shut up..

Living for pleasure, like ze animal. Hahaha! You get no pleasure from me, humans! Ze serial killer gets much pleasure from raping, torturing and murdering children. So does ze animal. What pleasure is derived while traveling the path of honor? No... ze pain, ze pleasure, zhey are for ze animals. For ze ignorant who does not know.

Ze pain, ze pleasure, zhey should be mere assistants.

test

has anyone even really followed this event?

US won again!

I has to finish a paper last night and I did refresh the scores from time to time. So I guess I followed it.

Why is this news thread stayin' up there ?
Don't remember if it was happenig before

"CGS made gaming history this week by broadcasting the first-ever gaming World Final to more than 350 million viewers around the world"

pff...nahahah. what a bs.

congratz to blackmamba and dkt.

Yeah, I guess MTV showing the CPL was neither a world final nor was it gaming related.

It was also not shown live on MTV, but through a broadband version, overdrive...

gj dkt. <3

the CGS can suck my ballz

Congrats dkt. :)

hooray for unstickification

anyone ripped some video? would be interesting to see

vods are on the site , not sure if the finals are up yet though. but ye would be interesting to see what has been aired on tv. i believe its being shown over here on xmas eve or something? (not 100% sure) on sky2 or something

Sky one, Sky one HD and SKy Two from 24th December onwards, full details to follow...

ye thought i saw it somewhere :)

will the evil sticky now go away ?

the sticky was removed as soon as the finals were over.

350 million viewers.. my ass.

operative word was Potential :-)

maybe they used viagra for their..potent-ial report

There is an interesting Interview with Fatality (in german) where he states that CGS will use games which are more established in the esport-scene in the second or third year. But first, CGS has to establish a basis on which they can build on.

I'm really curious how many viewers they had, the interview doesn't sound as it was a huge success.

weird considering fifa gets a yearly update and PGR is on #3 and DoA is now on #4, although i guess them games dont change too much when they are updated

*whispers* PGR4 now...... :p

lol exactly :P
