aAa Expands to Source

4-2-2007 15:04

After regaining their relatively successful lineup from 2006, the French from aAa announced the addition of a national Source division.

aAa makes a big fuss and takes the 4K example by adding an initiated team within the Source domain instead of taking the radical switching decision. inSane is the name of their new division, one that is quite known and well respected in the French space.

A rough situation for inSane made the addition easy and without emotions, as the players lost their main sponsor and saw themselves in trouble. The aAa offer came right on time, and gave the scene the following line-up:

Laurent "AsP-" Gautier
Guillaume "Khaine" Rabineau
Kevin "LOrdZz" Pascal
Alexandre "RpC^" Bombar
Stéphane "Steuch" Laurain
Nicolas "XyLo" Lemoine (backup)

Probably unknown names to most of us, yet we will be able to see them prove themselves in approximately one week at the SHGopen, in Denmark.

CS:S :D Its like the amateurs game at this point.

Look "mate" first of all you dont come into my house with an attitude. With that being said. The BEST gamers play 1.6. You cant disagree on that can you? To me CSS and 16 is the same. I havent played the game and I dont play 1.6. I just underline the fact that the best players plays another game.

First off, you should have saved your "" for the house part since this isn’t a house, its more... website? The best gamers? That being the best 1.6 players. Well if you didn’t know there are several other games out there, bf, cod, q3/4 and so on. "With that being said. The BEST gamers play 1.6. You cant disagree on that can you?" 1.6 And css is far from each other, only thing you can compare is the basis stuff - 5on5, mr15, TvsCT, bomb/defuse. The maps have been changed and several other gameplay elements have been changed. Let’s compare cod2 and 1.6? Your problem is that you’re ignorant, open your eyes and realize that there are lots of other games and gamers out there. People like you are afraid that css is going to replace 1.6. Honestly I don’t think nor do I hope that it will, since the gameplays differs a lot, too much to be compared. If you’re allowed to have an ignorant attitude, then why shouldn’t I follow your perfect example?

New league? CEVO have been around for sometime now, along with CEVO-P. But I think you’re talking about the DirecTV league, and if you didn’t know the teams for that league hasn’t been announced yet. This leads us to…? Yet again you comment on a subject that you have absolutely no knowledge of. Plain simple; you’re guessing. Guessing leads to ignorance and ignorance leads to people like you. It’s really sad that you start off with a childish comment about css being an amateur’s game, but some of the best 1.6 gamers play the game BE CAUSE it is all about the money. Sidst men ikke mindst (tager vi på dansk :D), så lad dog være med at udtale dig om noget du intet ved om. Du siger det sågar selv. Hvis du ikke følger med på de to scener, hvordan kan du så vide noget om hvem der er de bedste? x6 slog 3D i CEVO-P, det kunne jeg bruge som modargument, men det ville være lige så barnligt og idiotisk som at sige coL owner en liga du ikke en gang ved hvad hedder.

Team3D won the WCG where they played CS:S... once again because the best gamers arent in CS:S. The people doing the pro-mod states that it is easier to hit people and they surely must know what they are talking about. Of course you cant agree with me caus that would be like you saying you are a noob.

Keep it up mate; once again you know nothing about the subject. If you do, then tell me how many css teams attended WCG? This time Team-3D played a css team. Yes, but I am not saying otherwise. But on the other hand you must know that it is equal for all. Same goes for 1.6. But I am sure you cannot see the point, and obviously you are not willing to :). Noob? With an equal playing field how can one be a newb, and who are you to judge. You stated that you aren’t following the scenes. Your problem is that you think people play css be cause they sucked at 1.6, the truth is that I started gaming css, and not 1.6. And yet again I would like to refer to the fact that these to games aren’t a-like. If you are going to reply to this, then PLEASE gather some knowledge about the subject first. It is like a debate in kindergarten :D!

CS:S is for players who can't manage in 1.6 > In my own oppinion CS:S sucks big time and it screws up the 1.6 scene totally.

2007-02-04 12:02

ye but it looks cs1.6 is dying in year 2007 i hope cs promod will help out :)

2007-02-04 12:40

1.5 -> 1.6 -> cs pro mod! p.s. css in trash !!!

2007-02-04 17:29

CSS and CS 1.6 is not the same... Top CS players play CS 1.6... CS:S have been made for make money... but everyone know that CS:S is for newbie players. Anyway... CS:S shouldnt have been made...IT SUCKS!!

You should had used 'IMO'. There is no fact saying 'Source sucks'. Don't You read the other replies? fetish made it clear, that those 2 games are different by game play and other game elements. Well anyway I guess expanding to Source is the right thing to do. Probably 1.6 will die, just like 1.5 did quite suddenly. // And I'm not a Source player just because I said Source doesn't suck. //
