In a shocking announcement the Championship Gaming Series has announced the immediate cease of all operations. As cadred.org reported some hours ago, has the CGS comfirmed now under the topic "AN IDEA WHOSE TIME CAME TOO EARLY":
Didn't surprise me. Gaming can't be compared to professional sports, because honestly, it's not televised enough for it to be a part of mainstream society... Thank god CGS collapsed though, because now it means CSS will die, meaning 1.6 has a possibility of returning to the scale that it used to be before.
If some of the CS:S teams decides to find some new organisations in CS:S, I think the community will boom a bit. Some teams might also decide to play 1.6...
well, a lot of ppl jumped out of 1.6 to play CSS because they saw CGS and it's undeniable that a lot of them went for the money.
I recall asking on this site a while ago the following question:
"How many CSS offline tournaments are there? Compare that to 1.6" and I think I got one reply, which was CGS... now that it's dead, the only reason anybody would want to stick around in that game is for the online tournaments and the SGL, but CS 1.6 will begin to gain life again
because it means 1.6 can grow again because now none of these greedy CGS players will be playing a game that went terribly wrong. CSS has no right to be called a Counter-Strike game when the engine isn't even anything similar... it's like if I made de_dust2 for ET and then called ET Counter-Strike. It makes no sense whatsoever. What CSS needed to do was give 1.6 a graphics boost but keep the engine exactly as it was.
1.6 is a unique game, and look at its success. Look at how many people still play this game 11/12 years later. CSS didn't kill 1.6, but it weakened it a bit. CSS is nothing like 1.6 tbh, because 1.6 was a genre of its own. Think about why there are so many ppl who still play the game this many years after it was made
You didn't answer my question yet ;) And I don't why so many people play it, because I don't like the game in general and thus have no knowledge of the scene.
He agrees with me as far as I can understand his statement. Lets analyse it:
"or they don't play it BECAUSE they have knowledge of the scene ;) "
It looks to me he's implying people don't play the game because they know the scene and thus referring to the fact that it's shit, hence why people don't play it.
Taking my comment in account there, where I stated that I don't play it either, it would seem to me he agrees with me.
As you might have noticed in my previous comment, I already laid out my point and thoroughly explained my general idea behind that point. I sincerely hope that it proves enough to answer your response question.
everyone has their own tastes, some think CSS is better
CS 1.6 is better in my eyes because it's unique, simple as that... there was no engine like the HL engine before it, and there hasn't been one like it since then either

Yes, like people who like having normal sex, or people who like getting shit on and then said shit being rubbed into their genitals (css players)
