CAL Madness

[CSN NewsBot]

It's that time of the year again. The Cyberathlete Amateur League prepares for the beginning of its tenth season in just a few days, which means that moveups, movedowns, and preseason information has been released. Preseason week one begins with de_comrade_3rdroute, and week two will be de_aztec. CAL had opted against using Aztec in its official map list last season, but perhaps the changes in the map brought on by 1.6 changed their minds. Open preseason begins Jan. 13, Intermediate begins Jan. 8, Main begins Jan. 7, Premiere begins Jan. 7, and Invite begins Jan. 8.



Season 10 marks the beginning of CAL's Premier division, situated between the Main and Invite divisions. CAL-p will consist of top performing Main clans and lower tier Invite clans.

• cal-o => cal-im moveups can be found here and here.
  
  
• cal-im => cal-m and cal-o => cal-m moveups can be found here.
  
  
• cal-m => cal-p can be found here.
  
  
• cal-m => cal-i and cal-i => cal-p can be found here.

Congratulations to all teams moved up! Better luck this season if your clan didn't meet the requrements to be moved up.



Additionally, the United Gaming Syndicate league's season begins shortly. For the Main and Advanced divisions, it will begin Jan. 6, and for Open, Jan. 7, with the map being de_dust2 for all divisions. Preseason for Pro and Expert divisions is optional.

I absolutely love it. Got me playing CS again.



Only knocking a point off, because nothing stamped with Hello Kitty is ever this technically complex. The Hello Kitty guitar, for example, is as stripped-down and as basic as an instrument can get. So having this rifle fully-featured, and with the addition of an aimpoint, is ruining the good Hello Kitty reputation.



The sounds and animations aren't cute enough for the full 10 either.

This might be the best M4 skin I have ever seen in my life.
