Counter-Strike Source: Venom, Core in NA Finals

By: Nick Bee - Published July 07, 2008 at 8:18 PM EDT - Writer Archive
Tonight the winner of the North American second season is decided.
It has been a long season. After months of regular season play, the winner of the second season North American region will finally be decided, as well as a few other awards.

After a stunning upset in the playoffs, the Core has risen from the ashes again to reclaim the reputation they achieved last season in the World Finals. They take on the Dallas Venom, who are on a hugely successful hot streak and show no signs of slowing down. To keep this game close the Core are going to have to keep CS:S's point spread to a minimum against the Venom who have done nothing but win in recent history.

On top of all that, tonight there will be a special award ceremony to recognize the team MVPs as well as GM of the Year!

CGS is gay, nobody cares. That's why I'm able to say #1 in this largely unimportant thread.

#1

^ the above should be the only reason for posting in CGS related threads.
Hey Alternating Current, why don't you just admit you're bisexual

gotta love the flawed CGS scoring system. Your team can win 3 of the 5 games and lose the match

what's your point #20?

in basketball you can make more baskets and lose...
in football you can score more touchdowns and lose...
in baseball you can have more hits and lose...
pew pew!

Congrats to the CC. And after all the trash talk sonny comes out on top, sure it had absolutely nothing to do with him but its amusing nevertheless.
