First off, if you check the rules section of CSN, you will notice that talking about custom titles and/or avatars is not allowed. If you want to talk about pictures/titles, which can change from day to day, please feel free to email the person.
Next up, the "zEx online superstars" comments. This term can mean any number of things. I, for one, play like crap on any computer that isn't mine at home. It's not because I hack, but rather because I'm used to exactly how my chair, mouse, desk, and keyboard feel, the fit of my headphones and mic, the exact positioning and size of my screen, and even where my computer case is that I prop my feet up on.
I have to be in my "comfort zone" to ignore everything else and focus on CS. Maybe zEx has some guys who also feel more comfortable at home, and can do better even on a slower connection because of this fact. I know I'm to the point where I do better on my 56k (when it works) than I do on a friend's pc with cable. This isn't as good as I can be after getting comfortable with a lan situation (ie, while at college), but lan events tend to be short enough to not get past that initial barrier.
The point is, by calling zEx "online superstars" Sublyme has not in any way accused them of any foul play. He simply sees a trend (whether or not it's there is not something for me to debate), and commented on it. That is a world different from the blatant accusations that were unfortunately put on this site earlier, even after receiving a warning on the issue.
My personal thought is, any member of zEx (or any other CAL-i team, including w0s and SYB) could kick my butt in any CS situation, end of story. :)
Other random things:
bkrose120, don't "quote" things unless you actually know the original quote, as you slaughtered it completely.
Good job WEW and Rival, I look forward to the finals.
And thanks for the cleanup of this whole situation rizzuh. It's a thankless job, but somebody's got to do it.Comment

No your wrong about this. zEx is not so blind as to play dust2 that way. They will play CT defensively, in such a way that they cannot be picked off by awpers, and take most of the rounds, maybe 9 or 10. They will then strategically attack B site to take the rest of the needed rounds as T. W.E.W is on a hot streak since they got into the playoffs but zEx is just going to overpower them.Comment

Plumpy dust2 is by far a T sided map, not ct sided like most of the other maps. Granted, stronger teams play the weaker side better but I honestly don't see either team getting 9 or 10 rounds ct side - the sites are so spread out it's just too difficult to defend both effectively.Comment

I'm bummed that someone had to go & ruin HLTV for us. I would really like to see zEx vs W.E.W live. Demos are nice, but if I know who wins they arent very exciting.
p.s. I am pretty new to play'n demos; is there a way to fast-forward or skip ahead (I have not seen an easy way)?Comment

Predictions are obviously hard to make at this point, with all the teams being quite tallented. I'm still rooting for zEx, but it'll go how it goes. :)}-{ellrazer wrote..
From console, and instead of using "playdemo demoname.dem", use:
p.s. I am pretty new to play'n demos; is there a way to fast-forward or skip ahead (I have not seen an easy way)?
viewdemo demoname.dem
and then proceed to press your F2 key. If you need help beyond that, you're in need of an eye or brain exam. :)Comment
