Finnish is the most beautiful language on earth, we are not a part of your lame ass Anglo-American culture, never were, never will.

Nor are we Euro-peons

Considering all the Nordic, Benelux and Anglo variations essentially stem from the same pool, that's a tad useless statement. :P

Basque, Estonian, Finnish and Hungarian. Everyone other language comes from the same 'pool' except the ones mentioned above. I was a tad rusty on my history ;)

I'm confused (hopefully angel will reply)

Why have you gone back to CS 1.6? You made the move to FEAR and WiC for 07 and on the EG it looked and sounded very much like you were all for evolving esports/gaming and moving away. Source I can understand, but 1.6? It surprises me based on what the CPL has been saying.

However I do think its a good idea, regardless of what 1.6 lacks and its age, its still a brilliantly balanced game that provides exciting tournaments.

<< Comment #23 @ 22:33 UTC, 7 September 2007 >>

By

Ben - Reply to #9

Well worded, i was going to say the same thing! Beat me too it.

It's great that 1.6 is back, never thought i'd see it, especially after what was said on EG and how you answered my question regarding using popular games to unreleased games.

The CPL consistently changes its position on everything. Come on... stop acting like you all don't know this already...

why would they have to make it evolve? can't they just host a tournament for the sake of it?

so when the 1.6 team beats the source team in 1.6, and the source team beats the 1.6 team in source....what happens? ;p

<< Comment #31 @ 00:42 UTC, 8 September 2007 >>

By

evan - Reply to #17

To be honest I think the Source team has the best shot since their are former professional 1.6 players as well (3D or CoL I imagine), so they might sneak a win in the 1.6 match off.

What about CGS contracts? Someone in our CSS team mentioned that some serious CSS teams would be missing because of these.

<< Comment #62 @ 08:37 UTC, 9 September 2007 >>

By

evan - Reply to #61

Well I only know a few of the top European source teams. Fnatic had to change 1 player cause he was under eighteen. Don't think 4K nor zboard did though and neither did complexity and 3D in the states.

neither 3D nor Col are qualified for the CGS world finals in december so their next CGS matches to concentrate on take place in 2008 if i am not mistaken

So the winner of the Quake tourney is going to play the winner of Halo tourney on World in conflict if I'm following CPL's logic correctly ?

Does anyone outside of the CPL really care about CPL anymore? I cannot for my life understand what goes through their minds anymore

they should have just done a source or 1.6 tourney with a 100k prize purse

someone should make an audio/video compilation with angel saying one thing and then a few months later going completely against it.

I was foolish enough to tune into the first infomercial angel put out on epileptic gaming and i seem to remember everyone on the show putting down cs.

im sure theres some kinda 1994 dick cheney holy grail of contradiction video where angel is super excited about his new movement and claiming he would never sell out and so on.

Okay, I couldn't resist but ask.

1) Why you made the CORRECT move to go back to CS 1.6 (wheres the "we want to try new things")

2) And the most important thing: If you did that, WHERE THE FUCK IS QUAKE 3 ARENA AKA BEST GAME EVER.

This is retardness at his max.

"If the 64-spots for each tournament are not all taken by the close of the tournament registration, an adjustment in tournament size and cash prizes will be determined by the league."
