Counter-Strike Source: 3D, coL, zEx, more in CEVO Pro Source Preview

By: Andrew Hammett - Published August 19, 2007 at 1:51 AM EDT - Writer Archive
CEVO kicks off a season of Pro CS:Source that promises excitement and fierce competition. GotFrag takes a look at the teams competing in the fourth season of CEVO Professional CS: Source.


USA - The bullets start flying this week for CEVO Professional CS:Source Season 4, a season that promises to be the most competitive yet. Fourteen teams will compete in the 7 week season with two matches per week starting in late August and ending in early October.

All 6 CGS teams will be competing with 8 of the top CS:Source teams for a shot at some of the $10,000 dollars in prize money. In a somewhat controversial decision, CEVO admins decided to enter all CGS teams into the CEVO P league, despite the fact that only Complexity LA, Carolina Core, and San Francisco Optx earned their spots through the placement tournament or automatic berth for finishing in the top 3 during the previous season.

This CEVO P season takes on more importance than previous seasons because CGS teams will be looking to maintain and hone their skills while other teams are looking to practice against the best and hopefully gain the skills and confidence to earn a spot in CGS season 2.

CEVO Map Rotation:

Week 1: De_Contra
Week 2: De_Dust2
Week 3: De_Season
Week 4: De_Inferno
Week 5: De_Train
Week 6: De_Russka
Week 7: De_Nuke

CEVO Professional will use the CGS rule set, just as was used during season 3.

CGS Rule Set:

* 1:20 Round Time
* $16,000 Start Money
* 1 round, sudden death overtime (subject to change during the regular season)
* 9 Rounds Per Half
* First team to win 10 rounds, wins the match

Prize Distribution:

1st Place: $5,000
2nd Place: $3,500
3rd Place: $1,500

#2 you are a complete idiot arent you.

CEVO doesnt need 3d, they need the CGS TEAMS so their league is topnotch and worth competing in.

#8 he's playing in 1.6 right now, may have decided to simply stick with 1.6, who knows. If Hare is anywhere near as good as he was on U5 as a strat caller, he'll be a good replacement.

#3 well since there aren't work visas conflicting..uh..yes

I have no idea why they are using cgs rules, it would be nice that if one just had to watch these teams then they would be able to watch how they would do with good rules and match settings. Rules are so stupid for CEVO...........
sometimes you can be inspired by love but sometimes it can push you away

Come on CEVO what the hell. This is for competition not for TV. Do MR12, same starttime, with default start money. And 1 Round overtime is a joke, it was the biggest complaint from every team and made the winner ultimately be who started on the hard side first.

CGS rules are soo gay man, can't believe other leagues start using 'em to be honest.. pistol rounds are awesome but no no just give them 16000 and let them do what they want >.<
Answer the actually question being asked, and stop the spamming.

I think cgs rules are fine if ot could just be mr1 instead of sudden death, and speaking of spectator friendlyness Im quite convinced penalty shootouts in normal sports arent bad for spectators, even though they can be longlasting if the teams keep drawing ;>

#32, I have been informed by CEVO admins that matches will be played tonight and tomorrow with Tuesday being the deadline for first round to finish.

CEVO used these same rules last season for CS:S Pro, the teams want to play these rules to keep play consistent between leagues.
