IHL World - CS 1.6 Gatherleague

IHL World - CS 1.6 gatherleague with different skill divisions

We have 3 different channels which are divided by their skill level.

#ihl.int (pros and semi-pros)
#ihl.int2 (amateurs)
#ihl.int3 (basic players)

Every week(month) people get demoted and promoted. That means that e.g. Top10 of #ihl.int3 gets promoted to #ihl.int2 and the Last10 of #ihl.int2 will get demoted to #ihl.int3.

So you have a chance to play your way up to the top #ihl.int to play with some top players. You can play for free and you only need to fill out a very short application. This is necessary to avoid fakeaccounts!

Our league is some kind of a matchmaking system which runs through an IRC-bot. So you need to have IRC and an auth in order to play at our league. We got some customized IRC and a tutorial for creating an auth at our homepage:

ihl-world.com/manual-irc-step-one



WHERE CAN I APPLY?

ihl-world.com/manual-irc-step-three



How does the system work?

10 players can sign into a game. Then the host of this gather can start it with the command .confirmstart - Then the bot will generate 2 teams which are balanced by their individual experience points.

You gain exp-points by winning a match or you can lose exp-points by losing a match.

When you are vouched(registered) there are several commands you should know:

.sign - You sign into a game if a gather is opened
.out - You can sign out of a game
.startgame - You can start a game if there isn't one opened already
.aoe - You can see if a game is alread opend
.stats - You can see your rank and experience points

.result CT or .result Terror

When a game is finished you need to result the game in order to join a new gather. You can type in .teams and see which team you were on (CT/Terror) and result for the team who won. If at least 6 people resulted the game will be closed.



Is there an anticheat tool and gameservers?

We are using EAC - Easy Anti Cheat - in our gatherleague which can be downloaded for free at their website:
easyanticheat.net/

We have 14 high quality servers hosted in germany from FSHost.de which are equipped with EAC.

You start EAC -> pick german flag -> pick IHL World



How do I know which server we will be playing on?

You can see all our servers with the command !server
Then someone of the gather needs to look up an empty server and just tell the others on which server they should connect.

When you joined the server you have some commands to control the server:

.ready - When 10/10 players type in .ready in the chat the game will start

.unready - You can unready if you were ready but you need to fix something first

.cancel - If the game was live but one guy is AFK you can cancel the game and ready up again



Do I need to communicate with my teammates?

YES! We have a Teamspeak 3 server for every channel and you have to be there if you are playing a gather and you also need to talk english with your mates. At least you need to be able to tell your mates where you died and what the enemy is doing.

You will get flags for the teamspeak when you are getting vouched.



Are there any rules?

You can look up all our rules at our webiste:
ihl-world.com/rules

The most important things are that you always play with the right team tag and your IHL nickname on the server, e.g.

T XqzR or CT XqzR

and that you get banned for 1 day if you leave a match or dont show up. So don't forget to .out before a gather starts if you have to leave.



What's your goal with the IHL?

We don't get paid anything and we got a lot of admins working for free because we all want to keep CS 1.6 alive and offer the international scene a chance to keep playing the game and get together!

We also want to offer you guys good matches with team mates who are nearly on the same skill level. But this will take at least 1 month untill the skill level of the channels are balanced. So please be patient if there are still some "noobs" in #ihl.int2 or some good guys in #ihl.int3

Good job IHL
2012-07-20 23:29:03
German hosting ? no thanks.
2012-07-20 23:29:45
We got some players from your country playing in the IHL.
2012-07-20 23:33:09
what do you suggest?
2012-07-20 23:33:11
That his ping won't be that bad if we already have some players from his country playing there.
2012-07-20 23:50:23
I would suggest Swedish hosting.
2012-07-21 01:44:20
Are you retarded? German hosting is the best and most fair hosting to all players from Europe.
2012-07-21 02:51:34
not, German hosting is like the worst hosting possible. -_- i have seen better american servers.
2012-07-21 05:24:51
Haha, it's maybe not the best solution to your country, but that's not what he said, if you would read it properly. It's the best solution to players in Europe overall.
2012-07-21 10:12:59
+1 i play better on .de servers than polish :@
2012-07-21 11:37:23
I'm playing in there, and i have 45-55 ping in these servers, and i can't feel the difference between 10ping and 55, so i think German server hosting is great for projects like this, because everyone has the same ping (except German players)
2012-07-21 12:14:14
Don't know, but 10 ms and 55 ping is quite a difference :D
2012-07-22 18:40:32
yes it is but i am living in germany, i have to play with ping ~55 and i don't complain (just sometimes :p)
2012-07-22 19:43:49
Well everytime I play a LAN and have ping about 5-10 I feel like in heaven. :D
2012-07-22 22:51:43
true
2012-07-23 03:04:26
1) Open a map

2) See Europe

3) See centre

4) See Sweden

5) Bye
2012-07-21 13:05:52
1) Open a map. I was thinking of de_inferno...
2012-07-21 14:34:17
Facepalm :(
2012-07-21 14:36:26
me2
2012-07-22 15:51:26
Pay little bit more and you will have better server. Overall for Europe .de servers are probably best solution. I said !overall!
2012-07-21 15:18:21
Germany is in the center of euorpe. Means most countries will benefit the most from it.
2012-07-23 09:07:34
That's what I'm saying.
2012-07-23 17:30:22
70 ping on german server. 30 on Swedish
2012-07-23 17:56:49
in fact latvian location aint bad either
i have 18-22 ms on skillz csdm and around 25 on fshost pinging from central poland so yeah latvian servers would do just fine for players from the region that is polish/baltic/swedish/finnish
cant say the same for swedish though 40 ms is a must and thats only for malmo based ones others are even worse
2012-08-27 17:53:06
Don't play there then.
2012-07-21 00:34:28
I support this , only hope cheaters wont infest this.
2012-07-20 23:36:44
They will
2012-07-20 23:38:11
there are some cheaters in there, very rare but very annoying, I remember I played versus a team who had 2 wh and they knew exactly every strat we were doing
2012-07-20 23:43:53
Well it's better than play @ ESL VS. when u 9 players join and then go no result cuz 1 didnt join :)
2012-07-20 23:48:11
when i type stats i get "* @IHL-INT3 User not found!", i already registered.

2012-07-21 10:05:09

2012-07-21 10:40:37

THIS IS FRICKING COOL! I've been searching this league the whole life!
2012-07-21 14:40:22
So any pros on pro channel yet?
2012-07-21 15:08:47
This channel exists for some months now, so yes.
2012-07-21 15:14:51
wow, i will join
2012-07-21 18:10:01
ihl2 is dead :(( no one is playing there like before...
2012-07-21 21:39:59
We got 27 matches on saturday @ #ihl.int2 so i think it's okay for the 1st day after opening int3.

It will be getting better every week because more and more people will get promoted. And many ppl still have to invite +1 to int2.
2012-07-22 02:06:19
IHL is pretty cool,better players than on ESL Versus :D

I just stopped playing because people kept complaining every match about something and don't say any information of enemies locations + some people don't even speak english.
2012-07-22 20:07:40
Well everyone has to speak english and to communicate with his teammates but we can't check every match and listen to every team. We got a support ticket system were you can send a complaint in about ppl not behaving or not talking.

So it's up to the users.
2012-07-22 20:17:25
its worse than that
i wouldnt mind if someone who didnt feel comfortable with english didnt speak at all though most of the times they would just choose to keep talking in gipsy french greek or whatever and that really pisses me off
2012-08-27 17:56:25
sadly enuff i dun have a good enuff PC to try this :(. good job btw. keep it up!
2012-07-22 21:11:32
How do you validate the applications?
Mine is still white 3 days after :x
2012-07-23 01:24:13
If you have read what it said after you submitted the application you would be already vouched!

Just come to #ihl.help channel and wait there till an admin calls you up. But you should come there when it's daylight outside! Otherwise i can't guarantee that an admin will be there for you.
2012-07-23 01:49:37
Nice idea !
2012-07-23 01:52:09
So how can you check when the stats get reset?

"Every four weeks three players get promoted from int2 to int channel. The players need at least 30 games within four weeks to get promoted."

When do these 4 weeks start and when do they end? 30 Games is quite a lot so I don't want to play a lot to find out that I only played 29 games when the stats get reset -.-
2012-07-23 15:58:11
Those 4 weeks started with the opening of INT3 and new INT2 and i think 30 matches in 30 days isn't much to ask. That's ~10h CS / 2 weeks.

We will reset the played matches every month (not experience points) so you will be able to track how many matches you have played.
2012-07-23 16:06:07
It's a fair bit if you have a full time job :) So I have to remember when the 4 weeks are over correct? In this case the 11th of August and so on.
2012-07-23 16:12:33
We will remind everyone with the exact date and time. It will be something around the 20th August because INT3 opened just 3 days ago.
2012-07-23 16:23:00
Cool thanks mate.

I dont understand, but for me the servers were awful, im not lying. On g-portal.de servers i have 30-35 ping but on fshost i have 50-60. Also my shooting lags very badly. Dunno reason but thats how it is for me.
2012-07-24 04:14:05
That's true, on g-portal i also have like 30-40 and on fshost like 40-50, and the game feel so laggy sometimes

Please post some links of your league profiles (e.g. ESL, SK, Clanbase). Applications without any link will be rejected.




can someone explain?
2012-07-26 20:07:52
We need some eSports related profile of yours.

e.g. my ESL Account:

You can also post some profile/account from a local league like "PGL.ro" for romanian players.
2012-07-26 20:14:01
can I put just my SK-Gaming profile?



another question: for what is it needed?

To be honest IHL was good in general before...but when you started with this format for more balanced teams it's even better...great job , keep it up , and yes we need to get someone from int3 back to int2 ;) can i invite someone from there or?
2012-07-27 11:27:33
You already invited someone. But today 10-20 new people will get promoted to int2.

And thanks for the kind words!

there was a friend of mine who played int2 daily and went afk and when he tried to play with me this morning he wasnt in int2 anymore...thats why i was saying
2012-07-27 12:29:29
Your friend is the player called "badjoke", isn't he?

He is still vouched, maybe he forgot to set "//mode $me +"
2012-07-27 17:35:10
nope , badjoke was/is a friend but no it's not about him , it's about a guy called "One/One2k"...
2012-07-27 19:53:02
Well you queryed me and told me that you want to invite badjoke, i still have the log :/
2012-07-27 19:54:00
impossibile , they faked my account or something to use "me" cause i was in int2 ... they lied , badjoke+jAZZy for sure , cause I never asked any admin to vouch someone except for here when i messaged you to tell you about One2k ...btw that was fast!
2012-07-27 19:56:11
Okay i just checked my logfiles, padde told me that you invited badjoke, i will ask him about that when he is online.
2012-07-27 20:02:42
I swear on everything I have I never invited anyone except those posts above about "One2k" , I don't know how they could have gotten my auth and stuff , it's kinda impossible...they faked it in another way , there isn't any explication , and please reply in the PM or let's talk here...post the log and stuff and check if the writing is similar or something like that , I don't have anything to do with what happened...
2012-07-27 20:08:53
Check your PMs

2012-08-02 17:34:20
I play there and all is good, but everytime i've got in team player and he is like bot he moves like him and doesnt kill anybody, always i've got 20+ frags and i dont win, because i play with no brains and useless players. I think that is (-) of this gathers.
2012-08-18 16:15:39
why
whats wrong with loosing
2012-08-27 17:58:18
nothing, but nobody love loosing and when you know than you did your best and lose, its sad
2012-08-27 18:56:02
no you didnt if you were lets say neo you would probably win that anyway
2012-08-27 19:06:40
fuck logic aye?
2012-08-27 19:12:54
nah logic is fun
2012-08-27 19:13:59
If only you'd follow it ;)
2012-08-27 19:37:22
well feel free to prove that i didnt
anytime in fact, i appreciate that at most
2012-08-27 19:52:55
"[...] when you know you did you best [...]"

your reply: "no you didnt".
Doesnt sound logical at all. Atleast for me .
2012-08-27 20:03:29
why?

he didnt do his best
lets just say the 'talent' factor really exist and he would never be able to play like neo even if he really wanted to okay though that still doesnt change the fact that if he put the same amount of effort as neo into training he might had won that very gather by his own skills alone
doing 'your best' does not have to refer to some short very moment at the time oh does it?

still i guess the major thing is i just dont understand how would you find loosing on some random gather a bad thing
i mean who cares
though that might be because im that much higher on penis size and therefore my own self esteem as well =D
2012-08-27 20:12:14
Doing you best has nothing to do with talent or training. It just says how much of your potential you used. So if he practiced 1 hour before and his talents is lets say medium, he wont perform as well as neo but hes still doing the best he can. Its all about potential, the skill itself is irrelevant.
2012-08-27 20:59:47
lets then say we agree to disagree on that
personally cant see how the phrase 'doing your best' has to have a certain time frame to which it refers to defined and for my perspective that could be anything

and anyway his argument makes no sense either way that fact that he looses while performing much better than the rest of his teammates does not indicate that the general skill level is significantly lower than his (which is what he seem to be whining about) because if that was the case his team would win anyway, again - imagine neo being there instead of him
2012-08-27 21:22:15
I agree with you on your second part.
But still: isnt a person who plays worse than neo able to perform his best aswell? its just a question of what a player is able to do and what he actually does. Everything between is unused potential.
2012-08-27 21:28:29
absolutely, yes
though if he didnt spend every single free minute of his life on practicing can he really say he did his best? he would certainly be able to do that
and the other thing, was he really saying he did his absolute 'best', i mean, was that the best match of his life, the one that he managed to show his absolute top performance? i highly doubt that; though yeah if that was what he actually meant we could have said that it also was his 'currect' best given the circumstances

i can certainly understand your point though all im saying is 'best' aint specific by itself (it can be defined how you define it, and it can be defined in some broader time frame too) and the other thing, bringing the whole argument into this detail does seem ridiculous to me, i mean what was he saying what hey you know there are some n00bs playing there and you know what i want you to know that im better than all that, i mean, that really doesnt deserve this detailed investigation =D

2012-08-27 21:37:40
okay i think you are right most people would refer to 'my best' as 'i cant really change the past best' so this is the 'best' that i can currently offer
2012-08-27 21:44:01
okay you actually won i have to admit it =D
well done have a wonderful wonderful day
2012-08-27 21:49:05
