The CPL has reversed some previous rulings:
After extensive communication with the gaming community, the CPL has decided to revise two recent league decisions. First, the CPL will reverse its previous decision to fully implement the ESRB rules in 2002, and will continue allowing 16 year olds to participate in CPL tournaments featuring M-rated titles. As long as a signed parental release is presented during registration at the events.That's great news, Angel! I'm glad to see some positive rule changes come out of the CPL. Check out Angel's forum post here.
Also, the CPL has concluded that the version of Counter-Strike (CS) that will be used at the CPL World Championship Event will in fact have an explosive device, with the exact same physics, as gamers from all over the world have been using for their local and online competitions.
As previously announced, the special CS version will add the capability to enter clan names, and will support only two models: French GIGN and Leet Krew. The CPL also maintained the requirement that players use their surnames at live CPL matches.
