[Definite] CPL Gaming Coverage Thread

[oddcrap]

E-Sports Entertainment Association has an excellent writeup of the 5 best American teams competing in this year's Winter CPL, and their chances of taking it all. Each team profile in said article has a thorough overview of all the players and how they contribute to the group as a whole. Read all about it.

Comics and Counter-Strike. Is there any better combination in existence? If you don't think so, you may want to check out Tim Clinard's latest strip from his "Counter-Toon" series. In addition, Corey McDaniel's "My So-Called Half-Life" comicstrip has been featured by our friends over at Half-Life Fallout.

Amped Gaming News gives insight to the recent findings of the conflicting schedules between ESWC and CPL. Click here to read up.

Complexity Clan has announced the creator of Clanwars, Daniel Frome aka The_Family_God, and Glen Lane aka Boomerman from Team Sportscast Network, have teamed up to bring CPL coverage. Thus, be on the lookout for plenty of videos, interviews, and possibly other surprises. Expect some great work!

Thanks to csnation, for providing us with this crucial information!

Hahah, thanx for the defense, i love when people talk smack to me aobut counter strike, it just makes it look alot better when i kick ass. I had alot of **** talkers today on my server, yet they didnt say a word when they were getting owned. WE SHALL PWN ALL. lol

Like today, OMG so funny, you prolly dont care but its freaking halarious. I was spec'ing this guy after i died on Dust 2 and he was a T and i was a CT and he was spawn camping awping down teh middle thru double doors, and people were running up the middle and he couldnt hit this. lol it was funny. then we respawned and i said "" Hey "name here" aim much??!?!?! and he was like "hahah Got3n, aim this bitch"....man i was ****ed. lol. so i took my awp snuck around be hind him in his spwan stood there, typed "Hey "name here" turn around" and as soon as he moved BAM head shot. OMG so funny, he was ****ed, he whined for a bit then decided not to give me any more ****. ahhh today was so fun.

i thought sk.swe wasnt going, their german team was? I hope noa picks it up whens the last time they won a good tourney? Without destructo (gf dont want him to play,i kick it with the noa crew in huntington beach sometimes) they might not do as well. Gamerco is a joke i hope they flop and do horrible.
