AEF + CSS

QuoteIn another kick to the stones of the CS:S community the organisers behind the Antwerp Esports Festival have been forced to cancel the CS:S tournament, citing lack of sign-ups and the new update as the main reasons.



http://www.cadred.org/News/Article/110752/

"In a statement given to the AEF website, head tournament admin Vincent Van Loo had the following to say:

With recent engine updates in the latest Counter Strike series the game forced us to look elsewhere in order to provide a competitive and up-to-date game environment for the css community. Due to a lack of time to cope with this and limited internet capabilities we will not be able to provide this without risking the usage of outdated and gameplay changing updates. So it is with great regret we announce that the CSS event at AeF will be cancelled.

This solution also means that we now have several tournament PC's becoming available and gave us our next dilemma. With two games anxiously waiting for more slots we needed to decide which competition would get another 16 free slots. Adding 8 slots to each competition would further complicate the schedule as it would leave Call of Duty 4 with a very odd number of teams for the PC's they had available so we had to make a decision. Given the amount of teams waiting for both competitions the best solution here was to give the slots to Call of Duty 4, which means it now has 16 extra slot available.

Sad news for Enemy Territory but we want to stress that we are extremely satisfied with the way that community has opened up to the Antwerp eSports Festival and we are aiming to repay them in full. We might even be thinking about something extra especially for that community at a later date ;-)

Finally we would like to mention that all Counter-Strike Source teams can expect a FULL reimbursement of their entry fees."

LOL

Quotedead game

seems like you have no clue about the CS:S and CS 1.6 scene
sorry :<
with two lans now canceled, neither do you apparently.

1.6 has nothing to do with this post i dont know why on earth you would even mention it.
get a clue

loving retards 2k10

i agree Lauren, fucking retards
Parent
two lans yeah..

get a clue
Parent
end of the day, if you ACTUALLY followed anything to do with css.
You would realise how much of a let down the community has been recently in relation to lans, two have now been cancelled due to the fact that sign ups were awful. Aside from lans like gamersject and iseries there isnt a whole lot happening, iseries hardly pulls the top teams anymore due to the prize being shite. In comparison to ET/CoD4 that has really pushed the community to actually do something and create lans and stay active, css is shocking and the most recent update to it is just another nail in the coffin.


as i said "get a clue"
Parent
Since CoD4 is newer then CS:S there is no real reason because CS:S was/is still active and that more than ET with def more coverage and more interests from the community
to name sth you might know as "insider" ESL TV
Many IFNs and ENCs covered from ESL and mods not to name any different national LANs that you as it seems not thought of.

More LANs than 2 have to be cancelled to call a game dead.

BTW the Gamersinject actually takes place for the 3rd or 4th time so it isn't really that known dunno about iseries and it's hold in Croatia so wtf?

im generally talking about top teams and stuff, so gamersject for example...you have reason,glg,demonic,verygames etc etc. Even with them going the payed teams is still pretty small, without lans top teams stop supporting games, people get inactive and the game dies in a competitive way.
Parent
i got your point there but I wouldn't say that the game is dead.. but slowly dying.
Parent
yeah indeed the community really needs to start getting behind its game
Parent
i agree Lauren, fucking retards
Parent
Where were you while we were getting high?
YEAH PANSY LEARN ABOUT CSS.
YOU...YOU... YOU DUMB !!!
cmon..

repay us full? what
i think they mean they are giving the slots that were going for CSS to CoD4 insted of ET. They hope to open up more chances for ET at later dates but should be still on. well i hope this is what they mean.
Parent
The statement has been incorrectly taken over at cadred, this is the correct one:

QuoteSad news for Enemy Territory but we want to stress that we are extremely satisfied with the way that community has opened up to the Antwerp eSports Festival and we are aiming to show them how much we appreciate the effort put in at a later stage. We might even be thinking about something extra especially for that community at a later date ;-)
Parent
why would they repay the ET ppl? is ET cancelled aswell? I don't get it
Repay them for not giving the slots to them.
Parent
Repay as in add more money to ET prize pool?
Parent
Chill, not like you're gonna win anything.
Parent
tl;dr version please?
css dropped from aef / no more slots for ET / more for cod4 / they might do something later for ET on top of this
Parent
they should use some old cracked clients :)
