Bleh CS 1.6, i didnt buy my 100 quid graphics card to play games like that.

CSS > 1.6, much more fun!

Damn. If I saw this earlier I might've watched

Where would one be able to see upcoming matches like the one posted? CS:S if possible?

Plenty of people spectate matches in source, as long as there are skilled players around or it's an important match.

Lost all intrest in CS last year, 1.6 is far too easy to master. Having played casually since beta 5.2, 1.6 is still better than cs:s in regards to competative gaming but CSS is taking over with all the CGS stuff happening.

Easy to master? ...

fnatic won, the prize was £8000

Would have watched this however playing CS 1.6 is ok, but watching it would make my eyes bleed

Gerard · 23 Jul 2007 at 08:20

8k is not bad but for a tournament win not amazing either, i don't really think gaming will be mainstream here as a "sport" till the prize money goes up substantially.

Megahurtz400 · 23 Jul 2007 at 10:33

I admit 1.6 probably is better for the competitive side of the game, but i enjoy CSS, cant really explain why, i think its just the graphics.

And also, my x1950pro quid can only play it on low at 800x600?
If i buy 2x 8800Ultra will i be able to put 2xAA and textures into medium

ClaritY^ · 23 Jul 2007 at 12:21

I play mine on full everything and average around 150 fps on all maps (spec in sig)

Looks somethings wrong with your set up, should get lots of fps on max settings.

The prizes vary a lot, this one was pretty small in prizes but all the big teams went. The prize for last years WSVG (World Series of Video Games) for CS 1.6 was:

1st Place: $50,000, 5 Rolex Watches, 5 Computers
2nd Place: $25,000, 5 Computers
3rd Place: $10,000, 5 Computers
4th-10th Place: 5 Computers for each team.
