IEM Global Challenge Dubai - Matches + Tables

Counter Strike 1.6



Its Intel Extreme Masters Global Challenge time again. This weekend, 12 of the best teams in the world meet in United Arab Emirates Dubai to fight for the crown of Global Challenge Dubai. ESL managed to set up a prizepurse of $25,000 so thats another big aspect for those teams. The favourites are SK Gaming, winner of the previous Global Challenge in China Chengdu, and fnatic, who lost after overtime on both maps vs SK in the previous Global Challenge. One should not underestimate teams like mousesports, who won the first Global Challenge in Germany Cologne and MeetYourMakers, who are freshly back to revive their glory history. We can expect another exciting weekend of finest Counter Strike by the best teams in the world. Can SK repeat their victorious performance, or will any of the "unknown" teams surprise ? Tune it @ ESLTV and find it out.

Looks awesome!
don't forget the ;)
Just do a short introductory blurb “The 214642th IEM Global Challenge is kicking off in Dubai *date* featuring bla bla….” then your tags – and reduce the size down of the title, oversized smudges.

Return space between dates / times for clarity !

11:30 nellie vs krosan
11:30 punch vs judy

13:00 bob vs dylan
13:00 johnny vs cash

Etc etc

Generally pull the live matches to a hide tag "Live on ESL TV", again so it's easier for people to see - like a playcard - basically just copy Esr.
Parent
Change the Kazachstan flag will ya..
Parent
And the urlnew tag at the bottom is broken, requires an endtag [/url] at the end :)
Parent
You’re a mod… just change it.

80-90% of all news posts get edited ^^
Parent
I can modify every comment but not the newsitems or journals. Strange but true :p
Parent
its an overview ._.
Parent
Yeah and a short introductory paragraph is a crash course for those that haven’t seen previous posts (games, location, prize, famous participants), a ‘what’s on TV’ tab takes two seconds and adds massively to the usability and breaking up the text just looks better, it also shows the breakup of play (I imagine the times are GR1 / GR2 / etc).

It’s your post =)
Parent
I thought adi's/krosan's introduction was introdoctury enough, but will follow your tips in the next post
Parent
good, and what game do we talk about?
CS 1.6 ;)

For reference, see this introduction newsitem: http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=news&mode=item&id=4773
Parent
i know its cs, pretty obvious looking on the teams, but i bet there is people who dont know and this news is stickied, eventhough there isnt even one constructive sentence about the subject itself.
Parent
Yep true, that's why an introduction can't hurt anyone :)
Parent
thats good?
Parent
Much better :)
One remark though, this has nothing to do with the QL tournament, so maybe you could mention that, since EIM also features QL. Will you add the schedule for the QL matches too? That could be really useful!
Parent
thats lotsa work but I might do it :<
the updating is a bigger problem, cba to watch all the results and stuff
Parent
Just providing the info about when we can watch it at ESL tv will be greatly appreciated. You can check on Cadred & Tek-9 from time to time for results, no need to follow it yourself :)
Parent
doing tables atm :-)
Parent
see!only what was needed was that.
Parent
Good overview, it's gonna be helpful :)
nice flag we have!

will watch all Vitriolic matches, as always
what happened to mTw ?
This competition is fucking retarded. Will get spammed with every fucking newsitem only 1 % gives a shit about.
are you nuts? there are XX x more players in cs than in every fps game, and thats the best teams playing there (((ELITE))). im sure people give a shit about it.
Parent
I mean people on this site don't give a shit about it. If I want CS news or something I would go to an other site.
Parent
i give a shit about cs/ql and im pretty happy that crossfire has coverage too so I dont have to search some cs only uber site to find some info.
Parent
there are filters and stuff, cross out esports if you dont care about any games besides et
Parent
Why hate? Why not just use your filters - someone is putting in effort to provide content here.
Parent
I have the esport filter unclicked because sometimes also ET news falls under esports. If someone should write news like this they need to say that it's also CS news next to esports.
Parent
Which news would that be?
Parent
will you shoutcast cs 1.6?

would be nice :-----)
Parent
dubai MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM NOM NOM NOM
you could sticky the QL newsitem too, rather that than this actually
We all know people browse crossfire to find news not related to ET stickied and majored on top of ET news. Also CS is wildly popular in the ET scene wheras nobody gives a fuck about QuakeLive. Stop whining. Why do you even browse the site if you dont like it.
Parent
i never said i don't like crossfire but implied that i don't like cs
Parent
just trolling :'(
Parent
i had a feeling you were trolling but i decided to play it safe :(
Parent
hey over there :p
Parent
I lolled at the MYM comment, please don't ever compare the current CS team to the old PGS lineup ever again. I mean, really, zet? Have fun lucking a couple tourneys, MYM will sadly just get rolled hard in the long run... Sure he's got pretty good aim, but he needs to up his consistency big time to be of any use besides a temporary boost.
what was the old MYM lineup?
Parent
Neo kuben Luq TaZ Loord
Parent
where are these guys nowerdays?
Parent
Vitriolic Gaming, group B of IEM Dubai lool :P
Parent
so lets cheer for vitriolic, they also got an amazing cs:s team :))
Parent
but honestly, new MYM is zet, Delpan, pita, moddii, Jumpy... sounds like a bunch of ex-Blank/Begrip guys that never really sparked. Seems as if the organization just picked up whichever professional Swedes were free-agents at the time. I have to admit though, SK's face + kHRYSTAL addition actually worked out pretty nicely buuut... I'll be cheering on fnatic :P GeT_RiGhT and f0rest in one team = gg
Parent
I'm a converted fnatic fan now, hope they come back strong
Parent
I don't think coming back strong or not is the problem for them, it seems to be more of an issue of how long they can stand at the top consistently :P I mean, the old line never came out of that slump even after dominating so many competitions prior to the downfall.
Parent
Trust me, when you see how the new mTw team plays Im more than sure that you'll change your favorit team. Seeing them playing today was like watching the old 2008 team. They're amazing especilly the young minet guy.

Last week he started out in his first offical with a 10-0 score against Roskilde Ravens :D
Parent
if he 10-0s SK and can dominate frags all day long, I'll be impressed. Otherwise, he sounds like just another zet :/
Parent
begrip owned online :>
Parent
lol they rolled wemadefox and fnatic...
Parent
Good start, hope they finish strong ;) Actually, I'd like to see them play Vitriolic during the playoffs; that sounds like a pretty good match.

Then again, this is only one tournament, and I hate judging teams based off one competition. So, when's ESWC? :DD
Parent
they never sparked in the international scene because they never had the support to do so, they've done well in Sweden together with H2k for a long time.. even in matchups against the likes of fnatic, SK and mousesports.

besides, picking up a swedish semi-elite team is never a bad thing.. =)
.. and about zet, he fits much better with MYM than he did with SK.
Parent
I wonder how much news would there be if it weren't for the competition

good job though! not really interested at all in any of this since cs = yuck but ok

would like more ql stuff though
+1

Think people on crossfire much rather tend to care about quake then about cs
Parent
you liked the Dubai QL coverage?
Parent
didn't really pay attention, had the stream open all the time so didn't check cf much
Parent
I can't believe they're actually trying to get two teams from the UAE together. I think every single one of the people playing games there is into WoW and bought their account for over a thousand dollars.
It's still fun to see them play in their white robes and turban :D
Parent
Predictions? :)
you can have it btw, do whatever you want
Parent
I don't know what to predict :D Just asking everyone here :)
Parent
you can have the newspost o.o
Parent
yeah I understood that, but I'm not really into CS 1.6 so I think I'll pass :)
Parent
moddi hitting them shots
Parent
ye, had a feeling they would come out strong, they're sick once they gain momentum
Parent
indeed, seems opponent had no chance when they went on aggressive rushes
Parent
np for team alternate and mousesports :D
fnaticMSI -:- Team ALTERNATE 9:20 or it was :D nice game to watch
fuck yeah k23!
no time to update atm ;<
sad to see no Finnish teams even though the scene is huge here! :(
