rofl pz 1.6

i'm curious how the qualifiers are going to go down for this since...there have been none and that tourney is 7 weeks away..

lol, 1.6 is being played at the world finals, keep cheering source fanboys

JUST PLAY www.cizravi.com

ATLEAST there is some version of CS being played at WCG. Look at CPL and wsvg ill take any sort of CS action i can get.

The problem is that the qualifier for the United States spot for this event is the WCG US Open. That event is 1.6. So a 1.6 team will be heading to Cancun to play source ;)

I know, it's dumb. I dunno why WCG thinks they can just mix up the games like this. You'd think after 2005 they'd have learned you shouldn't do that between 1.6 and Source.

Hopefully Pandemic will win the US event and represent America. At least you guys are fairly familiar with CS:S.
