    Bits o eSports

    Well, today I decided to do something different and original. By different and original I mean copy scud completely.[break="Clicky Clicky!"]
    • dop got the chance to add some very big names to their roster, and they took it. here's a statement from them:
      after our 4th place over-all finish at the summer 2002 cpl, dop has been extremely inactive. a few of our members stopped showing up for matches, or showing up at all for that matter. this left dop with approximately a 3 man roster (which obviously won't work). after tau's fallout, and learning that gx's online roster was limited to only 3 people as well, we saw an opportunity to recruit 4 very talented players. those players being bronx, trigga & method from gx; and destroyer from tau.

      we're very happy to have expanded our roster to a now normal size, and we will begin practicing for the upcoming cal-i season & winter 2002 cpl.

      -dop.jacobson (amic)
      you can find them in #dop on irc.gamesnet.net!



    • dog was able to get interviews - certainly not due to the fact that [dop]-kick writes for them - with some of the new dop members. they were also nice enough to slap them on the first 2 pages, so that's where you get your links too.
      [dop]-kick: what motivated you to change the dop roster, beside the fact that everyone quit?

      [dop]-original: initially after our we placed 4th at the summer cpl @ dallas, we decided we would take a 2-4 week leave. after that time was up, and many of our original members were still inactive, we knew we needed a change.
      you can find the main pages here and here!



    • angel munoz made a forum post containing answers to some important questions about the cpl. you want quotes? we got quotes.
      1. will cpl europe events help in seeding for the $200,000 tournament or will it just be the winter 2002 event?



      answer:



      95% of the team seedings for the $200,000 cs tournament will be based on the winter 2002 $100,000 counter-strike tournament. the other 5% may include cal and cple.
      you can find the full post here.



    • more angel munoz news! avault has conducted an interview - not on the main page - with angel munoz about building a stadium specifically designed for the cpl. it's an interesting read, and worth your time.
      where will the first stadium be located?



      the first one will be built in dallas. the interest from people wanting to be part of this project has been absolutely amazing. the cyberathlete professional league's financial consulting and private equity firm has made strong commitments to support this project.
      a stadium just for playing cs? well, looks like the sport's moving forward faster and faster. read up!



      hopefully this will help you recover from the fact that you didn't win our latest contest.

        I predict this news post is going to be full of comments talking about how useless interviews are, how people dont care about esports, and CPL-bashing.

                whats with the stadium thing? are you kidding me, a stadium for CS, and they will build them all over the country. i hope he's kidding. well maybe in like 2100 we will have gaming stadiums, but by then CS will be gone, replaced with the then just-released CS:CZ

                        TBH the clan-hopping is getting really annoying....



                        CS teams won't get respect and a very good sponsorship until the teams stop changing every week.



                        Honestly, how many roster changes have happened since CPL?

                          Someone tell me why in the hell someone would want to fund a lan dome. This is sad, there are people who really could benefit from funding. And hey if you want a massive lan, just take over a hockey areana. It's not THAT hard. =) Thanks CNB for the plugging. Anyway to return the favour?

                          A lot of changes. CS will never be able to get to the pro sports level. Ie: trades in hockey are not all that common, and the roster usually stays the same for months. In cs, give it a week and a new roster emerges. Weak. Loyalty apparently isn't in people's minds.
