Counter-Strike: Source Groups

Due to a lack of turnout, the groups have been reduced from four groups of four teams, to two groups of five teams. The top four teams from each group go through to the double elimination stage, meaning that only one team will be eliminated at the end of the group stage.

why the low turnout?

2500 dollars

and crappy non-cgs ruleset

neo is the best cs player ever, if you disagree, you are a scrub.

Mint vs Ebuyer finals for sure

Ritch vs Tils

Fat vs Skinny

Who will win?

How does it feel?

and a sourcetv timeout how epic

i like the mr15 ruleset, but wish more peopl came.

BLACKHAWK

SourceTVs going back up now.

CS:S Coverage + Features Writer

#1 If the ruleset is not CGS than it's crappy? Lets give 'em all 16K, thus eliminate the economy system from the game, lets take away the pistol round getting rid of the momentum it generates, let's make the rounds 1.15 or smth, heck who needs strategy just run somewhere and plant. Let's play MR9, I mean who on earth likes seeing a comeback and most importantly lets play ONE round OT. Pure genius..

#1 lol the cgs ruleset is crappy. its all about rush A, rush B and no tactics..

If you dont support cgs you might as well not support "esports"

#8 Just because people believe the old ruleset was better does not mean they "do not support CGS". The CGS ruleset is good for the CGS, and the CGS only. It's a different competition to most of the source ones and it's unique ruleset is a key factor that differentiates itself from other events.

The fact there are two different rulesets make competetive CSS more interesting now, so I'm glad people still use MR15.

reason to win

#teatime.no

beta is playing for ebuyer, so who is mint's fifth?

11, willzooo and ritch are playing for jono and beta.

#11
it's mix -> HenryG, wilzOOO, Hughsy, ritch and Chenery

It's not a mix, it's their new lineup they still don't want to officially announce it.

they're not allowed to officially announce it. Everyone has known for a while that beta's gone to Ebuyer and wilzOOO and ritch have gone to MiNT but they can't announce it. beta wears both the ebuyer and the MiNT tags when he plays. Officially both teams are a mix.

Mind you, mint with wilzOOO and ritch? Story of england, strong on paper. amazing team.

TLR TLR GO BIG JAIIIIIIIIII

answer! #bigpimpin

TLR is bad... horrible game against Mint

Why did Jono leave / get cut then? I thought he was a great player. Oh, and lol @ picking up ritch. Great player, but not really the "professional" I'd imagine playing in the CGS.

who cares about professionalism? look at one of teh greatest midfielders ever: ROY KEANE. amazing :)

That's why he ended up leaving Man Utd midway through the season, yeah great example.

We want HARRIMAN!

I Started the FURY craze!

#1 The turnout has nothing to do with the rules.

All the teams in uk that actually uses cgs rules are here and being a european you should know that no lans/tournametns uses cgs rules here its only cgs who uses it.

#9 true along way down the road. But saying that mr15 isnt better is just wrong. there is so much more competition with mr15, imo that is :=). But cgs rules fits the cgs league and mr15 wouldnt work within cgs as it is now.

salvo go

CSS > 1.6
