Counter-Strike: Brazil bans CS from Campus Party

By: Luis Mira - Published February 01, 2008 at 10:34 PM EST - Writer Archive

ESBR understands Counter-Strike to have been banned from Campus Party 2008.

Campus Party 2008 is scheduled to take place from February 11th-17th at the Cecilio Matarazzo pavilion in the city of S�o Paulo, with the organization hoping that it will attract thousands of visitants during this week.

The Brazilian Justice has released a judicial order in which it forbids the Campus Party Brasil organization from having any Counter-Strike competition.

It is still unknown how this will affect the Brazilian national qualifiers for 2008. According to the ESWC official website, a national partner for this country has not been found yet.

Stay tuned to GotFrag.com as we will bring you more info about the Counter-Strike situation in Brazil.

OWNED!!

Saw this comming

Steve Smith is Pro!

This is an absolute joke. People in this world want more freedom and then when some crazy american shoots 20 people they use video games as an escape. Uncle Sam....

Man, The District Justice of Brazil is a nutbag, seriously, i feel bad for you brazilian cs players.

I feel bad for them too

So...why is it banned again?

Why are you blaming Uncle Sam? Notice CS isn't banned in the US. And don't generalize school shootings with just us. There was an incident in Europe a few months back as well. Not to mention all the crazy MMORPG-related deaths/murders in Asia.

So, in conclusion. Shut up.

hiya

god bless america!

I found pretty interesting the decision of Brazil banning the game from shelves and now a competition.

because of some nutbags that been playing real life RPG killing each other. I don't think gamers making a living out of gaming should be punished for somem psychotic people act.

Well, what can we brazilians do huh. The country is democracy, but yet banned things happen, for the good of the young i would believe. We got bad problems with guns in CERTAIN parts already.

This is ridicilous.

i feel sorry for g3x/mibr. they have mostly been in the shadow of the old mibr. as soon as the old mibr go to cgs they become the best team in brazil by far and very capable of competing internationally. now this happens. no cs. bahahahah poor g3x

this is certainly disappointing :[

#3 - i think it has more to do with brazil having 500000 murders in the past couple of years... sure most of those are drug related.. but you know how politians like to blame anything other then the actual problem.

#aa

LAME.

Get up, get famous. Play hard, go pro.

#8 Sorry, your country may be a "democracy" but until it respects the freedom of speech it still just proves that even the most advanced of Southern American countries still has a way to go until it enters the modern world

Ever since I can remember

#5 because the counter strike is violent say brazilian justice

Hope you all vote. If you stay sucked into the dream of virtual reality, you won't notice when your country too slides into despotism and your liberty disappears. Until, of course, the Chinese/Russian/whatever tanks roll in and your precious, precious internet gets cut.

And by then, it's too late.

No one ever clutched a round by saving.

The government should open their eyes.

"Yet, another headshot..."

#14 funny =]

there are useful links on my profile (for 1.6) so check it out

joke of government. nothing else

Beeeatch

political losers.

HOAX!!!

LOOOOL

#12 a big part of their economy is from the drug trade lol, I'd be willing to bet it bankrolls some politicians and police.

the point is BRAZIL F***ING SUCKS

#6 dont try to compare american violent with other countries' violence...

I feel bad for Brazil...

#27 speaks the truth

"...THE MAP CS_RIO WHERE DRUG DEALERS KIDNAP 3 REPRESENTANTS OF THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANISATION, AND WELCOME THE POLIMEN WITH FIRE..."

idiots

sad... :(

jg4i - just go for it

what a joke :\

www.fraglider.pt � Fraglider� - "Games don't make me violent, stupid people do!"

sad but true,

but i still playing,

no one will ban it from my house

:D

#33 Yes we can still play online, but they are destroying the LAN scene. If things keep going in this direction, soon cs will only be in our memories. We only have 1 internacional good team (maybe 2 if u consider css), soon we will have none. STUPID MOTHERFVCKER PIECE OF SH*T COUNTRY.

muahahahaahha go back to soccer :)

sad is to see people saying " OWNED!!! " , " back to soccer hahaha " :)

Our (in)justice thinks they are progressing while everyone else see they going straight to monkey's age..

mibr is allowed to travel to another (ESWC) national qualifiers to 'steal' their spots? (USA, Canada)

there is no comunism is there?

aky blbec toto vymyslel?

This sets such a dangerous precedent, where before they banned sales, now they are actively banning the playing of the game when it's (hopefully) legally purchased. You guys down there need to organize.

That they do

I play CS on a toaster

bye bye brazil

Now, i think that MiBR will move to Sweden. MiBR.swe. :S
Pvell, where are you? :O

The truth is we live in a place where people do have the brain of a monkey. Most of them are in the government.
