2012-02-26 16:56

me too. didn't understand your "joke".

2012-02-26 17:37

They close the schools because the UK rarely gets such conditions. Councils would be wasting money by investing money into relief for something which very rarely happens.

2012-02-26 18:16

well, i guess your talking about some 10iq retards who come to your country and take a jobs from well educated british dudes (unfortunately, there is not some many of them in your country). oh well...wanna talk about it?

2012-03-01 19:04

Poland 2Strong

2012-02-26 16:03

i don't think 1.6 clans have any chance here. css + cod = csgo. verygames will probably take this

2012-02-26 16:08

VeryGames for sure

2012-02-26 16:11

Easy for CSS teams...

2012-02-26 16:12

2012-02-26 16:23

Source teams will have big advantage since the maps are pretty much from source. But anyway gl to ESC.

2012-02-26 16:24

Shame we couldn't see a couple more 1.6 teams hopefully they do another tournement after IEM is done.

2012-02-26 16:24

well i play cs 1.6 since 2004 and its always hard and mostly i lose the matches. in cs source i have only 60 hours of playing and always like 30-2 stats and get banned from every second server for "wallhack, aimbot" so on, like their admins are 12 years old :( the game is too easy and the community immature. and i sadly see that coming in CS:GO too

VG - Mouz in final if mouz is playing somewhat serious.

2012-02-26 17:34

I'm not sure with it but I think the Cs 1.6 will loose quite high. I think people who are used to Css have more chances tonight.

2012-02-26 17:35

Im glad to see that HLTV.org is already the place to be if you wanna follow CS:GO competitive. Awesome job HLTV! You guys are the best in this business!
