The first edition seemed very popular. Just look at howmany joined the IRC channel, watched the match on HLTV and downloaded the demo afterwards.

If they think aim is the only thing you need to become a pro, than thats perhaps why there are so many hackers in germany. You need brains to play against good teams, you need clutch ability. Tactical understanding, reading enemy movement, play unpredictable. That is all for now.

It's obvious that superb aiming won't make you a pro. There are so many other perks as: cold blood, tactical thinking, creative playing, group cooperation etc. As it was said before: "it's just a mere show-off for some nerds, that dream to become a pro". If this way some low/mid-level pro team can find someone for their line-up, who they would like to check, then why not?
