R.I.P cs1.6
Counter-Strike 1.6 is no more at the next Intel Extreme Masters. What do you think about one of the world's most prominent leagues dropping CS 1.6 as its main title?

ps:Natus Vincere facebook page.

Just because some organization dropped cs 1.6, doesn't mean that we gonna stop playing our favorite game?

R.I.P cs
2012-06-14 15:56:53
who told you cs wont be a part of the wcg
2012-06-14 16:04:14
http://rakaka.se/?newsID=19265 - Next event won't have cs 1.6. It doesn't say anything about the future after that, but no cs at the next event.
2012-06-14 18:58:24
every tournament let dropp cs, still i will play cs any problem?
2012-06-14 16:10:28
The problem is that no one will care if you play it, except for you. The community will either die (worse case scenario) or switch games.
2012-06-15 09:51:42
wcg? lol

2012-06-14 18:58:30
This means that if CS 1.6 will be featured at an event, it will only be for certain events where it is a perfect fit for the Intel Extreme Masters locally.

IEM will still host CS tourny when ever there is a event inside Europe.
2012-06-14 16:31:21
R.I.P professional cs ...
2012-06-14 19:15:47
i hope it
2012-06-14 15:58:20
I don't give a fuck if you play CS. Esl provided ~6 events in 2011,so it dies on competitive level
2012-06-14 16:03:19
U don't give a fuck? Who are u?

You just made no sense. Of course a lot will still play CS whenever they want but "death" is about competitive level at first.
2012-06-14 16:44:43
No, because IEM dropped cs 1.6, that means cs is "dead"? What about other tournaments, and cups?!
2012-06-14 17:22:08
I don't agree with him about "dead",but it is a very huge loss
2012-06-14 18:12:49
"a very huge loss"

That's correct, but "dead", I don't think so. ))
2012-06-14 18:54:30
Bullshit cs ain't dead yet. And Na`Vi didn't post that... or at least I didn't saw.
2012-06-14 15:55:29
I think its time to change. We can't continue playing a game with 12 years old. I'm pretty sure that a new game is comming to make a new history like 1.6, but better graphics and different gameplay. Simple like that... sorry 4 bad english :p

yeah like if the CS community does not follow IEM anymore, they will die, they have shit loads of games that are more followed by the public that CS 1.6
2012-06-14 17:06:49
cs had more views than sc2 atleast, but ofc iem wont die. if they are clever they will pick dota 2. once this game is out in asia, its going to be the most played game ever i guess (wc3 dota was massive)
2012-06-14 18:51:33
As much as i want dota at IEM, I read in an interview saying they are happy with LoL. Riot pays them a lot to use LoL at IEM. ):
2012-06-15 10:50:12
sad, dont like that casual game but well we dont have to worry, since dota 2 will be out in asia, there will be much bigger tournaments than IEM will ever be :D something like a blizzcon just for valve etc

its time to close this site or switch the name to League of Legends. No one will notice.

Oh i forgot LOL has so many children that I can't play that game anymore :(. And at night time, when you expect all children have went to bed, all drunk people start playing it. I actually quit LOL after 2 years of playing.

I hope at least ICG will support C-S 1.6 next year xD.
2012-06-14 16:05:18
Every Tournament let drop cs 1.6 for fuck sake, but i will still play it. Its all about Buisness i dunno how to explane.
2012-06-14 16:12:50
Aslong as there are people discussing the death of CS 1.6, it will always be alive.
2012-06-14 16:16:39
CS started to "die" last year. Fuck the tournaments. still continue to play on ESEA.
2012-06-14 16:17:45
YEAH!
2012-06-14 16:21:42
This Shouldn't happen there are alot of ppl who love cs 1.6

2012-06-14 16:34:40
It's funny because CS made events, not events made CS. IEM drops CS? Ok, but except pro players who get money for this, for the rest of us, normal gamers, won't be that important.
2012-06-14 16:30:34
you are wrong, game is important yes, but events made esports community.

Ask to Quake community.
2012-06-14 16:37:35

2012-06-15 10:10:50
wow I really didn't see this thread coming
2012-06-14 16:35:22
ofc it's gonna die CS is a old game (since 1999) and now people are playing Modern games Like BF AND COD.......it's 2012 man !
2012-06-14 16:44:24
I play most of them, I love most of them no bias.
2012-06-14 17:14:56
So where's eSports tournaments for them? LOL
2012-06-14 17:22:13
lol bf and cod ar eno match for cs mate xD,games like sc2 and LoL are
2012-06-14 17:45:17
sc2 and lol are completely different from 1.6, there are no shooters which are nearly as good as 1.6 though being similar to it :[
2012-06-15 10:51:43
doesnt matter how old it is, if its a great game and people love it who cares about other shitty new games that have come out and are awful
2012-06-15 10:50:47
CS 1.6 forever.. FUCK CS:GO(FAIL OF 2012)

2012-06-14 17:23:37
some ppl said that cs would die when CPL died, Did it?
2012-06-14 17:24:59
Guys please stfu. if u say R.I.P cs DONT PLAY IT AND dont write it PLEASE...
2012-06-14 17:41:50
its over
2012-06-14 17:49:48
i don't care. i will play it with bots even in 40 y/o, when i will got kids and stuff.
It is a game of my life. I play it since low school, when i was 10 years old.
Im pretty sure, there is a LOT of ppl like me, which will never stops play it. I don't care what game are plays the pro's like navi or sk. Counter-Strike 1.6 it's more then game. I play it from 2000, and still sometimes i feel myself like a newbie, it's cool. Cs is like a football for me.
2012-06-14 17:54:08
You will play with kids :D And me.
2012-06-14 17:57:42
Yea, CS is like a football of esports...
2012-06-14 18:55:10
Whatever game will replace cs, I hope i will still get to see some of today's 1.6 pros playing it.
2012-06-14 17:54:28
Yeah, CS is slowly fading away. It's very sad ofc, but... nothing lasts forever.
2012-06-14 18:57:33
Are you kidding me? Do you play CS 1.6 to be one day pro player and get money prize or just for make fun with friends?
2012-06-14 18:58:03
CPL is back anyway, that shows how CS 1.6 is NOT dead. ;)
