SK Gaming on the way to victory over Copenhagen Wolves in the first round

ESC opened up against Blight Gaming's CS:S team and went up 9-6 despite of a lost pistol round as terrorists. Second half proved to be little different as the Poles scored a 7-4 win, 16-10 overall.

Timm "ArcadioN" Henriksen's Xapso faced mousesports' CS:S team but offered little resistance to the British team who cruised to a 13-2 half time lead as terrorists. Henriksen's crew had no more answer after switching sides and lost 2-16.

2012-04-04 21:43

I honestly doubt about that, not because I'm Brazilian.. The last results from TD internationaly makes me think twice before bet on ESC in this match..

2012-04-04 22:16

Now you see :) I won my bet :)

2012-04-04 22:18

POLAND STRONG

2012-04-04 22:21

I doubt it considering the Source tournament is their priority.

2012-04-04 21:38

So CS:GO tournament is 1.6 teams priority? Fuk logic.

Did I say that at all? "I thing mousesport train CS:GO a lot and ESC will loose his match" "I doubt it considering the Source tournament is their priority." Please read the actual comments before posting, and think before you say things.

2012-04-04 21:50

hmmm i doubt it, i think they play enough 1.6 to be pretty comfortable with it :P

2012-04-04 21:56

Maybe they can lose their games because of that :D that would be hilarious.

2012-04-04 21:57

gl TD

are there any money prizes for that tournament?

1,000€ to the winners.

danes suck

Wow 1.6 players showing their skills in cs:go hehehe.

cs:go favouring the css teams... says it all.

lol only because css players are playing well? fans of 1.6 don't wanna see their top teams lose to a css team.

2012-04-05 00:50

Nice :D

xapso LOL :D gg's

Of course they don't end there, the game is based on Source. There are similarities to 1.6 aswell though.

"Of course they don't end there, the game is based on Source. There are similarities to 1.6 aswell though." Just because the game is on the updated Source engine (which is more updated than the one CS:S currently resides on) does not mean it is in any way similar to Source.

It doesn't just share the same engine, the game is build "on top of" CS Source.

wanna bet source players are more used to movement/flashing/sound/seeing when the dude is fucking dead, seriously i played source a little/promod a little more and there is a different feeling. point being cs:go is a lot more like source then 1.6, you're a source noob to think something else:D

2012-04-05 00:30

wrong.

2012-04-05 01:19

you do know that the only one thinking like this is you, please play more 1.6 and then come again.

2012-04-05 01:49

I play 1.6 quite a bit, and have played a competitive level. "You are the only one thinking like this".... no not really, I'm the only one being incredibly vocal, because 1) I enjoy watching some of you come up with some of the STUPIDEST arguments, and 2) I just love how some of you are incredibly sad enough to think 1.6 is godlike and can never be replaced. Look around.... it's being dropped left right and centre, wake up and smell the roses. It will eventually lose IEM, and other big tournaments, and then you will be left to become like Source. The problem is some of you don't realise that if you don't help with giving feedback for CS:GO and help change the game now, then you are effectively snubbing a game/franchise you "apparently love".

2012-04-05 01:54

i know all that we did not argue about that. it's going straight to source's destiny, in the closet, but CS:go in my opinion is more like CSS even if GTR says it's not. We have movement, no SR=CSS, no hs animation, flashes really go over the walls even if you throw them high as in 1.6 has a limit,again a css similarity, map=css, and would find more if i cared probably. lets just hope they make it even better i really hope for 1 united cs scene.

2012-04-05 13:12

"We have movement, no SR=CSS, no hs animation, flashes really go over the walls even if you throw them high as in 1.6 has a limit,again a css similarity, map=css, and would find more if i cared probably. lets just hope they make it even better i really hope for 1 united cs scene." I just have this feeling you do not know what you are going on about. "No HS animation"... for instance is not even a high priority at present, that can be added later to the game, just like it has in Source (yes we have HS Animation). Flashes again, is a low priority of the game at present as it's in beta and can be looked at and tweaked at, at a later stage. Some of the things you have picked out are low priority changes and should be changed when the game feels a lot better than it is.

This 500 pound retard sauce nab needs another IP ban for 20 years from hltv.org. Then he can go back to his home cadred.org and cry in the pants of his daddy Richard Lewis. CS:GO is built on source engine. CS:S on source engine 1.6 built on Goldsrc Graphically CS:GO close to Source. 1.6 is 1.6 Flashes,Smokes in CS:GO like SOurce 1.6 they are compeltely different. Movement: CS:GO has similar movements like 1.6 and CSS Shooting: Completely kinda new Out of the above 5 points, 3 points favor CSS players rest 2 are neutral for both CSS and 1.6 SO how hard it is for you to understand that CSGO isnt much much closer to CSS than to CS1.6 ? Sauce players have much much more advantage than 1.6ers in CS:GO. Period.

2012-04-05 01:08

Graphically.. yes. Movement... no Flashes... closer to 1.6 and smokes are closer to Source. Shooting... all new. Recoil... closer to 1.6 than Source. The fact is Piyush, it's a completely different game to either 1.6 or Source. No one has any kind of advantage as it's completely different. It is nothing like 1.6, but nothing like Source, because its a bit of both. The fact that you guys fail to understand that means you are either incredibly ignorant, or just blind stupid. You keep saying "CS:GO is built on Source Engine"... so are so many other games, Team Fortress 2, Day Of Defeat Source, Portal 2, DoTA2, etc etc etc etc, are you gonna say each of those games, are close to CSS just because it's on the Source engine? No I didn't think so. It's irrevelant what engine it was built on. It doesn't mean jack shit when it comes to playing competitively, and every single player who has played all three games at some kind of competitive level completely agrees. "Sauce players have much much more advantage than 1.6ers in CS:GO. Period." No they don't.

Mouse the only good source team playing in this thing, VG would dominate this if they accepted the invite

2012-04-04 22:45

7 replies

nationality of VG?

2012-04-04 23:04

French.

Copenhagen Wolves is a top10, correct? Also, playing a new game is extremely random even if it does share a lot of things with the one you play on a daily basis. I am sure VG would have an advantage because of the engine, but ESC probably have superior teamplay.

2012-04-04 23:30

"but ESC probably have superior teamplay." no they dont, I've watched ESC for about 2 years and they are not better than VG As for wolves being top10, only just ... they are are around 10-15 - so nothing special

2012-04-04 23:40

Ranked 8 in February according to Cadred, but sure. I've watched VG for about 2 years and they are not better than ESC. There, that was a great argument :)

2012-04-04 23:42

the cadred rankings aren't always completely accurate... the rankings are also just the euro teams. There are at least 3 NA teams that are better than wolves. "no they dont, I've watched ESC for about 2 years and they are not better than VG" so why would you put in your original reply "but ESC PROBABLY have superior teamplay."

2012-04-04 23:46

I was making a joke because I think it is a shitty argument, but if that is what you think that is what you think I guess.

2012-04-04 23:48

fuck the cs:go,cs 1.6 is better :)

2012-04-04 23:26

nice TD, :D

2012-04-04 23:27

lol what they did to cs...bots 1.6 da best css sux cs go sux the most so go back to 1.6 dont stream bot games

2012-04-04 23:45

thats when u know ur really skilled, when u can beat teams at their own game.....bc cs:go is pretty much the same as cs:s.

2012-04-04 23:49

wow. This is amazing stuff. "bc cs:go is pretty much the same as cs:s." Considering it is nothing like Source atm, I aint sure how you can say that.

the only thing not like source atm is the recoil lol, bc the recoil is not like anything in any game ever...the maps are just like source the playstyle is just like source...thats why teh cs:s teams beat teams like anexis, bc we all know theres no way targetdown would have beat anexis in 1.6...

anexis or esc, would not round in mouz or TD in CSS. And players source are saying that recoil is very strange, because it totally different. Congratulations ESC and SK.

2012-04-05 00:36

So your judgements are on two teams that played each other on a game they have not really played, and that is why CS:GO is like Source. Have you even played Source at a competitive level (please don't use public as an excuse, as I don't even play public anymore)? If so you would know full well that CS:GO is NOTHING like Source. As stated the only similarities, is the map graphics. That is it. The rest are completely different (hitboxes, engine actually updated, recoil, gameplay, movement, weapons, spray patterns etc etc etc etc).

2012-04-05 01:18

cs:go is closer to source than it is to 1.6 by leaps and bounds, plain and simple...

2012-04-05 01:27

cs:go is closer to source than it is to 1.6 by leaps and bounds, plain and simple... It is no where near either game, because it is completely new..... #failtoseethepointarewe?

2012-04-05 01:28

no ur failing to see my point

2012-04-05 03:07

cs:go is closer to source than it is to 1.6 by leaps and bounds, plain and simple... It is no where near either game, because it is completely new..... #failtoseethepointarewe? are you really british?? no wonder the indian english is so bad.. u ppl came over and fucked our english up !

"is closer to source than it is to 1.6". I wasn't even debating that point, I was debating the fact that you seem to think that it's as close to source as it is to 1.6. When it's nowhere near either game (IT IS COMPLETELY NEW). Are you even Indian, if so please oh please answer those calls in those centres?

2012-04-05 21:38

then why is it that other ppl are replying to you saying that cs:go was made in source engine ? and that csgo is similar to css than 1.6 ???

2012-04-05 22:17

there is even a blog statin ur name in it ... damn your famous man Guys, lately I've read some incorrect statments about the 1.6 community, and they pretty much came from source guys. Most of them are active users in HLTV.org such as Rickeh, Gumpster, Taylortee, Friza, Spatula, etc... I've also read the same kinda comments about our community from Richard Lewis. I bet you have seen those people talking about the 1.6 community too, and its all about the negatives. hltv.org/blog/5183-16-community

2012-04-05 22:58

Shows how Ive pissed people off. ;)

2012-04-05 23:41

I don't really care about this tournament but I hope a 1.6 team wins this, so we can rub it in the Source players faces how dominant CS 1.6 players are compared to them.

2012-04-05 00:28

lol complex, you need an approval from mature people :((

2012-04-05 00:42

what was the meaning of "lol complex, you need an approval from mature people :((" this has no context or sense related to my initial post.

2012-04-05 00:48

comments page is full of people who have probably never played source as it is now, nor tried csgo but feel like they can judge csgo based on looks csgo is nothing like source now
