[[GH]-Paladin]

Sinac was reporting what he saw and his oppinion what s0ph did was just pick a side and made fun of the enemy pretty much

zEx just got owned. First half 7-5 zEx, and second half 9-0 W.E.W. and zEx left.

[Sh|nobi]

indeed......dizza owned that shit up ct side.

[kaxman]

That was crazy, how did zEx fall apart like that?



Oh, you can also find overviews for lots of maps here:

Should mention: Scroll to the very bottom of the page, they have a pack for the standard maps...

Agreed concerning the slandering. Very unprofessional, and I'm disappointed in myself for not continuing my past eSports coverage. It's unfortunate I fell to the real-life problems of girls and...well, real life, and thus I've been ultra slacking. Look for me to do esports coverage this upcoming season, provided I start allotting myself some damn time.

is anyone else lagging painfully on the 3d rival hltv



edit: jesus 3d is getting spanked, and i am lagging like whoa

[Navo]

with cable, i'm pinging ~700 on all Rival vs 3D HLTVs. This is ridiculous, it's not even watchable...

[Sublyme]

On another note, I find it funny that many flamed me after I made my comment about zEx before, claiming I didn't know anything about eSports and that I was a biased reporter. Unfortunately for you kids, I've been following eSports since CAL Season 1 and I don't happen to be some "punk kid". I've been on CS-Nation staff for over a year and I've always reported the news with the utmost professionalism, give or take a rizzuh joke or two. Some of you may not know me because I've been gone for awhile, while others will remember me for my in-depth reports and unbiased, fact-based analysis'. That is why I'm correct when I state that zEx are online superstars - they perform very well online, while on lan they aren't on top of the ladder. No, I'm not sending negative conotations or claiming cheaters or anything of the sort, I'm merely stating the truth. When zEx wins WCG USA instead of being knocked out and ranked #4 behind WEW, Forsaken and 3D, I'll give them their due title of LAN superstars as well.

[GeOTek]

Yes

[aar0n]

I am lagging very painfully. They've all seem to have left too. What's the deali-o?

[kaxman]

Lagging badly enough to crash CS on this end, yes...



Of course, that could have been unrelated...but that's what usually happens when it goes nuts and start shooting me with 600 CL_FlushEntity packets in one big whap after whap...

[mathyou]

So is the dispute in the 3D - Rival match about who is CT first? There also seems to be an issue about which server is used for which half. Ack.



I think Sublyme's zEx comment was perfectly acceptable. It was accurate and fun.



SinaC's comments were okay. He reported news and gave us his opinion. That's what I want from him. Any robot can post a news story. I want some commentary.



s0ph was out of line.
