Buying HLTV.org
Let me introduce myself. I graduated in 2005 (engineer background), started to work on the business but it wasn't what I wanted to do. So I started to invest in the internet business back in 2010, and today I own many websites in the tourism business, and now I think its time to invest in the gaming business. I was / am a huge fan of counter strike, and I still play it from time to time, so I was thinking, why not?
I would like to know if the owner of HLTV.org is interested in selling this place, and from there we can talk about money. My plan is to keep / make this website the ultimate counter strike portal (it is already, but I want to make it even larger), with several new features for the users, updated webpage, new forum policy, etc... I want to make it larger and more active, and I want to keep CS 1.6 as the main title, because I have no doubt 1.6 is the best version of counter strike.
Anyway, here is my e-mail.

2012-07-09 07:58:26
so you post on the forum or make a blog rather than contact them? details are all over the site if you need them, they will not go into bussiness with a lazy ass amateur. and you have to have alot of money to buy hltv.org (but that is exactly why I think you made this thread, to show off about how much money you have -if you even really have it-)

He's correct. We have been waiting for the updates on the site forever. Even the friend feature isn't up yet.

how the fuck did you make money? if you decide to buy a cs 1.6 page in 2012 :D:D
2012-07-09 09:47:56
I'd estimate the value of this website somewhere around 25.000 USD. It's a dying niche with a lack of a good successor (CSGO? not really). Nixon is probably better off keeping it and try expanding to other games.
2012-07-09 09:59:58
rofl, 25k, what are you smoking, we like have assets worth that, I don't think you have any idea of what kind of traffic HLTV.org actually drives, and do you think all these FPS fans will just disappear if CS 1.6 goes away?
2012-07-09 10:03:16
how much do you guess ?
2012-07-09 11:20:16
No idea, but it is way more than 25k USD.. Of course it is all subject to what happens to CS, if CS totally dies and all FPS fans decide to start playing SC2, well then the site is near worthless, but I doubt that..
2012-07-09 11:21:16
whats the value then ? you cover CS 1.6 only. Why do you include all FPS games ?
2012-07-09 11:36:18
Because no other FPS games are of esport interest at the moment, then we'd rather have our focus on CS 1.6, and not on 10 smaller games, there are plenty of sites out there doing half-assed coverage of a ton of games, we do not wish to run our site like that, if we cover it, we do it properly.
2012-07-09 11:38:53
No you're not. Those half-assed sites are actually doing it BETTER. And i'm not only talking Cadred (although they're a perfect example, they've generated a lot more QUALITY content than you despite covering a game that is less popular and thus has less topics to generate articles about), there's quite a few other sites. A certain Russian eSports site was so good at covering events it made you feel like you actually attended it.
How do you cover events? Oh, you update scores, make a few video interviews, take some photos and that's it. Now that's half-assed.
When was the last time you had a proper article or a column? I said proper, some event previews don't count. Basically all your interviews in the last two years were made at LAN.
The only thing that is good about HLTV.org is its players statistics, everything else is of mediocre quality.
The truth is hard, I know, so you're free to ban me.

haha looks like you just registered to post this shit. Obvious cadtard butthurt guy :)
Here is the truth: HLTV.org provides WAY better coverage than shitred. HLTV is fast and accurate. HLTV provides way more interviews with the players, HLTV provides WAY more video content (just look at the size of the HLTV youtube channel vs shitred youtube channel, since thats where they store their videos). HLTV has a fantastic demo archive, shitred tried to copy that and failed big time because of their incompetence. HLTV has the top notch real time statistcs for all players, all events. HLTV has way more activity, and its way more sucessful than shitred. Even if you don't trust these numbers, they are a ballpark, and it says HLTV is worth WAY MORE than shitred.

Yes, the truth hurts. You are just small potato in this business, thats the truth, with evidence.

2012-07-09 19:20:20
just checked the hltv.org youtube channel, and it's spammed with frag clips with only a single interview/video for every 25 videos. i've ran a search and it says that there's only 40 interviews out of 1000 videos. oh god, i didn't even think it was that bad, so thanks to donadein for further proving my point.
so, once again,
"When was the last time you had a proper article or a column? I said proper, some event previews don't count. Basically all your interviews in the last two years were made at LAN."

2012-07-09 19:30:06
You are very confused, you believe ´articles´ have anything to do with how good a coverage is. Thats where your logic fails. One can chose to publish 'opinions' about this or that, or to write an 'article' about this or that. That won't make your coverage good, because thats not the MAIN thing about an event coverage. The main thing is to be fast and accurate, and report pretty much in real time what is going on in the event. Also, having real time archive, such as demos, stats, etc. Thats the first thing, and HLTV is WAY better than shitred in all of that.
Looks like you are very frustrated... Just deal with it!

Actually I wasn't even saying that cadred has great LAN coverage, so I guess you're the one who's so frustrated that he can't read.

Funny because in the front page of HLTV.org, they say:
' Here at HLTV.org you will get all the latest news from the world of Counter-Strike as well as coverage from big events. '
And thats what they do, and they are the best in the business doing it. Funny how you came here talking about "WHERE ARE THE ARTICLES, WHERE ARE THE BULLSHIT OPINIONS" when HLTV.org never claimed or wanted to do that.
Looks like you are so frustrated with cadred being so empty and dead, that you want to attack HLTV.org for whatever reason, even if you don't even make sense.
I guess thats what happens when you are a butthurt cadtard! Take care!

2012-07-09 20:06:49
HLTV.org's stats is indeed something to be proud of, and I've already mentioned that but that's the only thing that's good about the site. Everything else is mediocre at best.
Updating scores and uploading demos is a no-brainer, something even a monkey could do. Doing that does not make you "the best in the business". There is almost no content on the site. No articles, no columns, no "behind the scenes"-LAN coverage. The only interviews that appear on the site are taken on LAN, there's no outside-of-LAN text interviews whatsoever. IEM dropped 1.6, who took an interview with Carmac? Cadred, and they don't even cover 1.6.
Cadred obviously makes you butthurt, and I don't even know why. You keep talking about it even though I've said numerous times that Cadred is not the only site that's better than HLTV.org content-wise. Coverage.su completely smashed HLTV.org in terms of LAN coverage (they were a bit slow with updating their scores though). Gotfrag had an amazing "playbook" article series and also CS lessons. Even fragbite.se has a lot of unique content. Aside from its stats, HLTV.org has none.
HLTV.org is good at updating scores and posting news, I have to give you that. Just don't pretend to be something else. HLTV.org is not a good eSports site.
Sorry for raping you in public, brah.

Though it's not a big factor as in the past, I think you leave out the fact we've been handling HLTV for all majors and smaller events since gods knows when. You might think its simple and easy, surely its not, why do you think all other competitors dropped it?
Remember, we are the backbone for streams these days, even though we dont have the same HLTV spectators as back in the days, running HLTV still provides an important piece to the community.
Also I disagree with interviews only being done when at events, any frequent HLTV.org visitor would know that. When IEM dropped 1.6, sure cadred did an interview, but we did too and were the first ones to do so.
Im not trying to take your opinion away, thats yours and you are free to think what you want. Simply just think you missed on a few things, and wrong in others.

I ran a search with keywords "interview" and "questions" and most of the results were videos from LAN's.
There was one text interview with markeloff before dreamhack, six pre-IEM interviews, the swecon one, the one with Carmac that I forgot about, erm... There was also an interview with Delpan, I'll even count that Valve one even though it was a video... two IEM5 interviews... and that's it for 2011 and 2012. Not much. Could've missed something, but still, I frequently visit your site and I'm absolutely positive that you were never fond of text interviews.
Anyway, what I'm saying is you have the most popular 1.6 site, you could've done so much with it, yet you did nothing. You haven't improved whatsoever in the last three years, HLTV.org of 2012 is basically HLTV.org of 2009. The only thing that's changed is the addition of Dreamteam section. I remember zonic having a blog here, now it's gone. "Stagnation" is written all over the site.

"Updating scores and uploading demos is a no-brainer, something even a monkey could do."
So, uploading demos, keeping the demo section updated and complete is an easy task, even a monkey can do it? Can you please explain to me why shitread.org and Richard Blewhis failed miserably to do it?
Here is evidence:
http://www.cadred.org/News/Article/158205/
Look at Richard Blewhis saying: "ensuring that we are the number one depository of gaming demos, starting with CS:S", and now when I look at shitred.org demo section, I see it is outdated, pretty empty in the recent years, not only for CSS but for everyelse too.
So, you are saying uploading demos is an easy task for monkeys, and we see that shitread.org failed miserably to do that task, so can we conclude that monkeys are more competent than shitred.org staffs?
Have a nice day!

How exactly did i lose it?
How many quality articles appeared on the site (I'm talking quality here, simple event previews won't cut it) in the last 12 months.

What exactly changed in the last 3 years (apart from zonic's blogs disappearing, of course)?
How many quality articles appeared on the site (I'm talking quality here, simple event previews won't cut it) in the last 12 months.

Oh, and some sites also have coverage diaries. Guess what, HLTV.org has none.
2012-07-09 22:11:30
The coverage continued to be rock solid fantastic over the past years. The addition of dreamteam with interesting prizes for the winners made this site very fun to visit during the events. The addition of the fanclub/page was nice. The demo section and the stats continued to be rock solid great till this day. The interviews are very nice (nix0n is amazing). The partnership between HLTV and some big names in the 1.6 scenes, like JoeM was / is great. There were lots of giveaway with nice prizes / gear for the users of HLTV.org in the past years (way more than before). The addition of the stream section was very nice, with several pro players from arround the world streaming content for the fans. Nomads app for tablets and smartphones made it very nice to access HLTV.org from mobile devices. HLTV ip's provided by this site in the latest years are of the highest quality in this planet. Professionalism of the core members of HLTV.org remained top notch in the past years. Registered members superpassed 400,000 in the recent year. And there is much more. In fact, the most important part, is the fun we have reading and posting in this forums, playing with the community in HLTV globalmix, etc... Not to mention, HLTV.org build a HUGE video archive in the past few years.
http://www.youtube.com/user/wwwHLTVorg
They have more than 33 million viewrs, and most of the videos are from the past years. If anything, they increased the number of videos (interviews, highlights, etc) in the past years.
HLTV.org claimed to cover 1.6, and they did / do it fantasticaly, and they are rewarded from their amazing job, by a very active userbase, making this website worth of a lot of money.
1.6 can remain the main FPS title, or 1.6 can go away, that has nothing to do with HLTV.org, and its not in HLTV.org's power. Whatever happen, it won't change the fact that HLTV.org was / is the best counter-strike website ever. The only site that ever came close, was gotfrag.
Cheers.

Of course he is. I never said HLTV.org isn't the most popular 1.6 site.

Do HLTV.org have their own streamer? That's an honest question. In my country every 1.6 website (out of six) has a streamer, so I never visited HLTV.org for stream and don't know whether it has one.
>If anything, they increased the number of videos (interviews, highlights, etc) in the past years
Actually I think there was more content three years ago (once again, zonic's blog is one of the examples).
Anyway, my questions remain unanswered.

As far as I can see, the only question not answered, was Mikep's question, in post #153, about monkeys > cadred staffs, since monkeys can do demo sections properly, and cadred can't.
Of course, I don't expect you to come here and say 'yeah, you are right, HLTV.org is great', because you just registered today, to post shit about HLTV, and that is the highest hint of someone being butthurt. mad brah?

Oh, don't worry, you're a fanboy, I don't expect you to be as intelligent as other human beings. So let me repeat those questions for you:
How many quality articles appeared on the site (I'm talking quality here, simple event previews won't cut it) in the last 12 months?
How many playbooks were published in the last two years?
Have there been some CS lessons?
Did HLTV.org get a professional player to make some content (like cArn's "theory of counter-strike" or Heaton's whatever it was called)?
Have there been some "feature articles" like "History of SK gaming" or "the makings of Counter-Strike" or something like that?
Does HLTV.org have a streamer?
Does HLTV.org has some pro players blogs?
What exactly changed in the last 3 years?

"Have there been some CS lessons?" I HOPE NOT
but seriously dude, you can do that with any website saying "oh but this other website has this and that..." it's always like that. what about giving some credit for the stuff that do exist: dreamteam (with good prizes! not that common tbh), betting, amazing demo collection. just...don't be a hater :)

2012-07-09 22:53:22
It's a shame HLTV.org is the most popular 1.6 site and yet they refuse to evolve. So much could've been done with it if the owners actually cared.
2012-07-09 23:27:52
So what do you suggest?
Pro player blogs? Not sure I'd care.
"Official" HLTV.org streamer? Probably wouldn't care unless he was really good.
Articles? On what? If the journalism were the quality of that on cadred then no thanks.
CS lessons? Lol

2012-07-10 01:42:21
Actually the only writer I'm aware of that can match cadred's drGonzo is Carmac. I do realise you're a fanboy, so you're going to hate everything that doesn't praise your precious game, so I bet you probably hate Carmac too. Funny thing is, Gonzo has been pointing out the rotten things about CS:S for five years, and CS:S folks were absolutely fine with it. The moment he wrote a single article about 1.6, the 1.6 fanboys went full aggro on him.
Article topics aren't a problem so long as you're a good writer, Gonzo had a weekly column for a few years despite covering a game which has a lot less events than 1.6.
http://www.gotfrag.com/cs/story/44219/ - playbooks and CS lessons like this one are awesome.
http://wesgg.com/default.aspx?id_news=1657 - now that's a mediocre quality article, obviously written by someone who doesn't speak English as his first language, but it still covers a very interesting topic and provides a lot of facts about the history of Counter-Strike. You'll never see such an article at HLTV.org.
Me myself couldn't be arsed to join a HLTV for more than two years, doesn't mean there shouldn't be HLTV IP's.

First of all, why do you think that I'm a fanboy?
I haven't read many articles on cadred except for the occasional Richard Lewis ones which get linked here and those are poor by any standard of journalism. Cannot comment on other writers there since haven't read their work.
I just skimmed over cadred's front page articles list and despite being a fairly big SC2 fan, only found one article of interest. Now mind you, I would not want HLTV.org to cover SC2.
Googled this drGonzo guy but didn't find anything interesting. Maybe you can link me to something by him that's worth reading?
As for the 'playbooks' there aren't any provided by the site, but lots of community members make team strat videos and post them in the forums. Personally I don't feel like linking to them on the front page is necessary. But hey kudos for a site that does that.
If you're interested in articles about the past of CS then there's a fairly active Pakistani guy on this forum who writes regular blogs about them. You can find them under his profile here:
http://www.hltv.org/?pageid=14&userid=127615
(a walk down the memory lane series)
Personally I don't read them but I appreciate that they can be interesting to newcomers to the scene. In that case they can be found under the blogs section.
Not sure how often you follow this site, but lurppis writes predictions about major events. That's a progamer's POV for you right there on a regular basis on stuff that is actual.
Or what kind of stuff are you looking for?

i can only assume you are either gonzo or one of his henchmen because no one else would post such garbage.
playbooks are a flawed concept and no site has done them after gotfrag. i did something similar for esea news but no one cares about that stuff anymore.
you can't do cs lessons over text, fact. i'm not sure if you want us to create videos to do it but i also don't think that is in any way important.
carn only did content on his team's site and i have never seen heaton do anything but feel free to link me, i'd love to see what he has done. i can't believe you even bring up zonic's blogs because once again i can't imagine people being interested in them beyond his name, but i'm sure you will disagree.
i don't think we have had articles exactly like what you suggested but my team ranking would certainly fall under one of these categories, as will the upcoming eg and winfakt articles. my event previews are significantly more in depth than other websites' as well, with the exception of wherever thorin writes as he is also a very good cs 1.6 writer.
as far as live blogs from events or columns go, who gives a fuck? i can't imagine anyone wanting to read gonzo's columns seriously. we aren't trying to keep a diary here, we're trying to provide coverage of cs 1.6.

HLTV.org wins hands down, the best counter-strike coverage website, ever. Fast and accurate newspost, amazing demo archive, amazing giveaways, dreamteam, best and most active CS forum, amazing video content, interviews, highlights, the best HLTV ips, the best in site coverage, and much more. We are just a HUGE community, and some people are just jelly as fuck about it... what can you do, let them cry haha!

My theory about this frustrated cadtards is this: They wasted years and years of their lifes (playing / covering) on a failed, broken, bad game (CSS) that didn't go anywhere and died with CGS a long time ago. They put money into the game with new equips, they put time of their lifes (hours and hours per day) on a game that ended up failing, and they ended up as nobodies. They look at the pro players in 1.6 (lurppis is an example here), they look at all the glory and fame in 1.6, and they envy it so much, it drives them mad. They can't accept that they wasted their lifes on a failed game that couldn't achieve 1/5 of what 1.6 achieved. And now they look at the mirror, they see an old guy, with broken studies, and ruined life, all wasted on a failed game no one cares about, and they rage because they ended up being nobodies, no one know their names, no one cares about them. They look at neo, markeloff and all the glory and success in 1.6, and they feel bad about it. They rage so much about it, they want to kill 1.6 at any cost, and they will celebrate when 1.6 dies, but they forget that nothing that can happen with 1.6 will change the fact that they are unknowns, and wasted important years of their lifes in a failed game that no one cared about, and they MAD about it. Nothing will bring those years of their lifes back, and they know it, and thats why they are frustrated as hell.

"Everything we have is cool and important, and everything we don't is crap and unnecessary. Who needs human rights when we have nuclear warheads?". You sure do sound like Kim Jong-Il in his late years. I can only assume you're either his heir or one of his henchmen because no one else would post such garbage.
>playbooks are a flawed concept and no site has done them after gotfrag.
Stats and dreamteam are a flawed concept and no site has done them after HLTV.org.
>carn only did content on his team's site
Yeah, absolutely no player would produce some content for HLTV.org for a few bucks a month. Since you're so good in this BIZNIZ I'm pretty sure you have some moneyz you can spend, don't ya?
>my event previews are significantly more in depth than other websites' as well
Actually it is "event previews" that is a flawed concept. Your "ESEA 11 preview" generated a whooping number of 66 comments. Ok, it's an American event that is of little interest to those at HLTV.org. Let's check some European events.
Your Dreamhack Summer preview generated 137 comments, 99% of which had nothing to do with the article and were simply saying "GOGO MY FAVOURITE TEAM". Most of the front page news managed to get more comments.
THAT's the type of articles nobody reads. There's absolutely nothing interesting in them, everything they say is already known and obvious to anyone who plays CS for at least a few months, and those predictions are always wrong anyway.
But anyway, yeah, these "team A switched player X for player Y and won an event called ABC after that, i guess they're gonna win this event too" articles simply smash those of Gonzo. As do your best friend's Thorin's articles, who is considered one of the most dull and boring writers to ever grace Counter-Strike by a lot of Brits.
It might be something that is hard for you to grasp (and that's why gamers should never be in charge of anything unless they have a proper education), but as long as you don't produce unique content you lose a lot of users. Yes, you have a large demo section... which means whenever someone needs a demo he'll probably head to HLTV.org... which doesn't happen too often, probably once in a month. You're the first to post all the news... which get copypasted by other sites in a matter of minutes. Chances are, by the time a user encounters news on HLTV.org, they've already been published on his native language sites. You have stats which is a cool feature to have... but I'm pretty sure nobody visits that and it's definitely not the reason why people visit HLTV.org. You also have gallery, which is probably the most useless feature eSports site can have.
In order to have people visit your site every day instead of every once in a while, you HAVE to produce content that people won't be able to find on other sites. Giving your clients something that they can't get anywhere else is one of the main rules of business which I thought was obvious for everyone. And that's where you fail. Sure, your site is the most popular, but it's still basically an eSports news feed and not a full-scale eSports site. You failed to expand. You failed to attract more users (i know a hell of a lot of people who only visit your site when they need demos because they can get everything else from other sites), you failed to generate more profit, you failed to become THE 1.6 website. HLTV.org is exactly where it was three years ago. I bet if HLTV.org owners were given a chance to run Microsoft, the company would've gone bankrupt in a few years lol. Because when it comes to unique content, HLTV.org is one of the worst sites in Counter-Strike history.
>i can't believe you even bring up zonic's blogs because once again i can't imagine people being interested in them beyond his name, but i'm sure you will disagree.
Yet another reason why gamers shouldn't be allowed to manage anything unless they have some education. "I'm a pro player, I've beaten zonic, I'm not interested in his articles so I guess neither is anyone". Let me tell you one thing. The only times I've seen pro players' post blogs on eSports websites in my country, they have always been EXTREMELY popular, because they had a lot of interesting information that you'll never find on your usual esports site (HLTV.org included).
People are hungry for every little bit of inside and "behind-the-scenes" information. I've seen a journalist build a reputation almost solely on providing this kind of news and articles, and people followed him to every site he started working for.

Giving your clients something that they can't get anywhere else is one of the main rules of business which I thought was obvious for everyone. And that's where you fail. Sure, your site is the most popular, but it's still basically an eSports news feed and not a full-scale eSports site. You failed to expand. You failed to attract more users (i know a hell of a lot of people who only visit your site when they need demos because they can get everything else from other sites), you failed to generate more profit, you failed to become THE 1.6 website. HLTV.org is exactly where it was three years ago. I bet if HLTV.org owners were given a chance to run Microsoft, the company would've gone bankrupt in a few years lol. Because when it comes to unique content, HLTV.org is one of the worst sites in Counter-Strike history.
>i can't believe you even bring up zonic's blogs because once again i can't imagine people being interested in them beyond his name, but i'm sure you will disagree.
Yet another reason why gamers shouldn't be allowed to manage anything unless they have some education. "I'm a pro player, I've beaten zonic, I'm not interested in his articles so I guess neither is anyone". Let me tell you one thing. The only times I've seen pro players' post blogs on eSports websites in my country, they have always been EXTREMELY popular, because they had a lot of interesting information that you'll never find on your usual esports site (HLTV.org included).
People are hungry for every little bit of inside and "behind-the-scenes" information. I've seen a journalist build a reputation almost solely on providing this kind of news and articles, and people followed him to every site he started working for.

also, regarding the blogs.
You're free to run a poll asking whether to introduce something like "Getright's blog". Although you won't, because both of us know the outcome :)

This all sounds good on paper, but yet, here HLTV.org is, where are all the other fantastic sites that did all this? Oh wait, they are gone..
It is also funny you just choose to make up facts, what people visit this site for, how many regulars we have and so on, did you consider that maybe there is a huge following who doesn't really give a fuck about some grand article, but just follow the scene and want to watch the big events, did you consider that not every single person is a hardcore die hard fan?
Could we have done more? Sure, but HLTV.org is our little hobby we are doing the best with what we have, which might not be much to you, but certainly is enough for many.
Oh and with more than 230k teams registered for Dreamteam, and I would hardly say Dreamteam is a dead concept, neither is stats, did you consider that the reason why no one did either was because it was too hard? But hey it is easy to say we got nothing when you can just choose to write off random elements of the site..
Anyways, I think it is quite clear that you are Cadred staff, so go enough your site, enough your millions of engaged users, since you guys know how to do everything right, surely you should be much too busy to be here entertaining us fools when you are getting rich over there in awesome land..

Some are gone, some are not. Gotfrag was an American site, and seeing that competitive 1.6 died in the US it's no wonder Gotfrag died too. It's not like you're going to survive when 1.6 dies. It's either CS:GO or nothing, and your userbase isn't exactly CSGO-friendly.
>did you consider that maybe there is a huge following who doesn't really give a fuck about some grand article, but just follow the scene and want to watch the big events
Well, judging by the fact that most of the people here still don't realise that 1.6 is going to die in two months and are expecting the game to outlive CS:GO (I don't like the game, but there's no doubt it will finish both 1.6 and source off), yeah, I kind of understand the people here aren't fond of reading and thinking. Still I'm pretty sure you'll agree that actually having any sort of articles isn't going to hurt.
Dreamteam and stats aren't a bad concept. It's just that lurppis' reasoning was awful and I wanted to show him why. :)
I have nothing to do with Cadred anyway, I've logged in from my phone this morning, you're free to check my IP. Cadred never had a single staff member from my country.

it's just that it pains me to see how such a popular site still has a lot of room for improvements, and yet the owners refuse to do any.

he is right. i`ve said it too several times. good articles can`t be found that easy in here for some time now. on top of that, over 1/2 of the news are made after users make threads about it.
anyway, he says many stupid things too. but regarding the articles part, he is damn right.

worst-case scenario, fps lovers will move to dota/league of legends/aso ...hltv.org will become a barely profitable website unfortunately so i suggest you consider his offer for your own sake (if this is your main money source...hard to believe that though) and invest it in something else. about the 25k usd , i don't really think he's so far off. keep in mind that the chances of hltv.org surviving and cs:go becoming a main title on big events are weak-ish. so you , as an antrepreneur ( this is how it's spelled...i think) should consider offers and ofcourse bargain. it will be sad but times change.
from my pov , as an enthusiast of counter strike 1.6 and big fan of hltv.org and ofcourse happy about the way things have been going so far it will surely be a tragedy...anyways, i still have hope for cs:go improving or CS:PROMOD. best of luck!

I'd rather close the site than accept a mockery bid of 25k USD..
2012-07-09 11:39:46
I have been doing my research and I don't want to get into the details here, but I can offer you $27,500 for this place, today.
2012-07-09 17:53:33
I'd ask my parents then to buy it for more money that you don't get it. :-((((
2012-07-09 18:12:26
SOLD! Where do you want the keys mailed to?
2012-07-09 19:11:41
Great! I didn't receive any e-mails from you yet... what is your e-mail address? I think we should continue from there. Please contact me via e-mail, I want to schedule a conf call to deal with all the details. Thanks.
2012-07-09 19:18:55
dont sell it,when cs dies and if cs dies u can change the website to another game and earn more money
2012-07-09 10:04:21
This is not exactly the best way to do this. You should've PMed a high ranking crew member telling them about seeking a business opportunity. Until you got ahold of him. It's hard to take you seriously this way. Your probably trolling regardless.
2012-07-09 11:09:59
yea buy this website and shut it down AGGAGAGAG! :D

I'm willing to buy HLTV.org too, I bid £100.000 for this site.
2012-07-09 17:59:50
They will sell it in 10 seconds for that prize
2012-07-09 18:03:01
Its worth abit more than that surely.
2012-07-09 18:11:12
lol no, do you even know what the taxes are in Denmark? (We'd be paying around 60% of it in taxes..) To be perfectly honest, at such a price I would not sell, the actual money we get from that deal is so low that I hardly see the point.
2012-07-09 19:14:09
So, for what value would you consider selling it? Just a ballpark value... how much?

Why did Nomad sell HLTV.org?
I think he shouldn't have done that, this new guy will probably ruin this website. All that for only $27K? A lifetime of work sold for $27K? I think that was a mistake by Nomad.

2012-07-09 19:28:52
I can't believe he bought HLTV.org for only 27,500 USD. If I knew it, I would have bought it myself. Lets hope the website improves with the new owner.

If you would be serious and not just a troll who wants some attention you would go on the top of the site under "General" and use the "Contact" option there instead of creating a forum thread.
2012-07-09 19:58:32
HLTV IS NOT FOR SELL !:) Be sure , go buy ESL and kick fucking cs:go
2012-07-09 20:49:05
good idea
2012-07-10 00:05:32
cant understand if you dont want to change anything just want to add new stuff why buy the site then? you can always make a topic about ur ideas and i think if they will be good someone from staff will read it and say anything about it.
2012-07-09 21:15:22
HLTV never sell itself to guy who create thread about "buying HLTV"

you don't seem very professional, and the fact that you post on forum instead of contacting Martin (or whoevers actually in charge at the moment)..
i hope hltv wont pass this site on to someone making a thread like this.. HLTV is the piece thats holding counter-strike together.. i hope HLTV still loves counter-strike (and gaming in general) more than money

Really bro. Imagine what Hltv.org did for us, they always travelling to countries to show us many videos from there,giving statistics,interviews and dreamteam . I'm sure that you won't do it for us,you were talking about update,forum,website and etc. Really bro I don't care how this website is looking i just want to see how they are doing they work,how they make intresting interviews,videos and many many more,what I'm doubt you won't !

hltv.org is invaluable atm. But one is question, why he didnt bought hltv.org in 2007, when it wasn't so known, and he like to buy today?
2012-07-10 03:09:50
Cuz this is the only hope for cs 1.6 to revive
2012-07-10 09:02:54
because he ventured into the online business in 2010? Nice brains bro.
2012-07-13 01:38:22

The amount of attention this topic has received surprises me. Also, it oddly indicates the amount of immature teenagers we have here who believe "#114 SOLD! Where do you want the keys mailed to?" to be true and not get the quite obvious joke in it. No wonder there's a bloody who is better than who thread every 2 days.
