Counter-Strike: CPL Announces Counter-Strike World Champions

By: Michael Allen - Published September 14, 2007 at 5:39 AM EDT - Writer Archive

Who will be the next CPL Counter-Strike World Champion?

The CPL is pleased to announce an update to the list of Counter-Strike World Champions. The list of Counter-Strike Champions dates back to 2000, when the CPL officially began hosting team-based tournaments.

At the upcoming CPL Extreme Winter Championships, which take place December 18-22, the CPL will once again crown a Counter-Strike World Champion, but this time the final competition will take place between a Counter-Strike:Source team and a Counter-Strike 1.6 team.

Sad, but the CPL is a little ridiculous this year.

An American CGS team due to the fact that the majority of them have played 1.6 as well.

CPL doesn't allow any more international team right? If so why not?! I would be fun to see another team like the international lineup NoA used to have. wouldn' it...?

#11 thats CPL summer 04, they're only annoucing the CPL winter champions. 3D should be up there also but they won CPL during the summer.

From: hopesfall82 : shut up about ph33r, you newbie ass 3d fanboy. PH33R IS BAD BAD BAD

i also think that 3D should be at that list

2007 CS Champion - Fnatic (Sweden)

Wait it's called CS champion but actually they play CS and CS:Source? How does that make sense?

People should stop referring to Source as CS, it's simply wrong.

Your logic is pretty faulty. Both CPL summer 2004 and winter 2004 boasted a huge amount of talented teams. Eye won undefeated in summer 2004 and lost to NoA in the finals in winter 2004.

So let's break it down

EYE - 1st at CPL summer 2004 and 2nd at CPL winter 2004
NoA - 9-12th at CPL summer 2004 and 1st at CPL winter 2004.

No matter which way you want to measure it, assuming you do it objectively, EYE are the 2004 CS champions of CPL. Please inform Mike Allen that he should really lookover how he determined the 2004 CS champion. Otherwise though everything looks right to me.

Just one thing though. The CPL summer champion in 2002 was SK.sca(scandinavia despite a player from the UK). They actually won one of the major CPL events that year (Summer 2002). SK.sweden only placed 3rd at CPL winter 2002.

If you're going for some consistency, which you should be, GoL did the best in 2002 looking only at the major events (not cologne/oslo). GoL placed 2nd in summer and 2nd in winter.

An extremely foolish argument would be to say that CPL winter 2004 had more competition than CPL summer 2004. Infact, the opposite is true. SK.sweden did not attend CPL winter 2004, that alone is proof.

and strictly speaking 3D does NOT belong on that list. They placed 17th-24th at Summer CPL 2002, absolutely horrible. It doesn't really belong to SK(sweden) considering SK.sweden placed 3rd at CPL winter 2002.

Why is the CPL so foolish?

and the Summer event in most cases were harder...
don't know why just winter

#5?
what? cpl does not accept international teams??
i guess they don't bother at all
the problem is that there aren't any international teams any more

i thought the point was already proven when 1.6 teams went over to source and pwned everyone..

I hope America Poland or Germany makes it. Lol.

Swedish domination.

THANK YOU CPL.

2007 - Fnatic ... prolly =/

You're welcome.

#7 , nah. NoA came back from the lower bracket (first time in history that happened) to win it. Plus the winter event is always more stacked than the summer one.

is this actually news?

lol who plays cpl anymore

http://esea.net/users/229920

Winning CPL Winter = CS Champion of that year.
Duh.

Everytime you make a dumb thread/post, another 1.6'er converts to source.

Definitely not SLP

PGS FOR SURE �/�

#33 ...? They're listing what country they're from, not what the name means.

And yup EYE got shafted.

Why are people complaining that cs:s and 1.6 are used in the finals ITS JUST A SHOW MATCH YOU IDIOTS. THERE'S TWO SEPERATE TOURNIES. The 1.6 champion will have won from beating another 1.6 team in the finals on that game. The source champion will have won from beating another source team in the finals in source. So both source and 1.6 champions will be paid the same as they are SEPERATE $50K tournaments. The equivalent of a showmatch(pride only no money at stake though I wish this werent true) will be played and whoever is better at both games will be crowned CS world champion. Not that hard to understand.

#33 has downs

#19 they've based it off the winner of the winter events, since it's a cpl winter event.
