reason and dignitas are the only ones, maybe virtuoso if they practice and imperial if they play like they did in IEM could upset one of them

2010-03-09 01:47:29
Why england is so shit at cs :/ some years ago they had some good players that could do damage now...Go Dignitas!
2010-03-09 01:57:33
All the decent players that weren't 13 year old chav tards went to other games/consoles and continued with success.

Needless to say, UK 1.6 is a bit of a joke. Just reading some of the forum posts from them complaining about how other teams cheat, bad connections and raging in clanbase games is so stupid. Quake, COD, CSS etc teams are all doing well for UK with the same resources, so can't even use shitty connections as an excuse


Luckily, there's still a fair few decent players going round with a mental age that's progressed past puberty... Just very hard to find them. With any luck UK cs will thrive a bit soon... It's due it anyway :P

tl;dr? - all our good players don't really care anymore :D

The difference is that 1.6 is much more affected by the connection/fps than those other games..
2010-03-09 14:21:07
Can see what you're saying since recoil is fucked on higher ping servers, but framerate is a given unless they're on a computer from the 90s. The UK Quake guys are doing alright and Quake is dependent on fps for movement and ping for hit detection (if you got a ping higher then 30ms, you're fucked in an LG-LG battle with a guy that has lower)

But yeah, things are turning around hopefully. Just a shame lots of UK servers seem to be going down just now :(
2010-03-09 15:18:07
Excuses :$ I believe Ukranians and russians can also play with bad connections plus Chinese and Koreans? Should I call more countries :D?
2010-03-09 16:45:35
That's what I'm saying. Ping aint an excuse since so many countries have the same shitty connections :P
2010-03-09 17:44:41
Koreans have like the best internet in the world..
2010-03-11 12:05:02
nice, this will definitely push the British scene and after a few seasons maybe they can build a high-level team.
2010-03-09 09:13:01
Actually not a bad lineup, just hope their aren't many defaults!

Saying that, I haven't played 1.6 in a year or so, but teams like paramount, clip, vital, and strOng were all pretty terrible, but they're also online too, so let's hope there isn't a LAN final.
2010-03-09 10:26:03
str0ng to win :D Az to be top fragger for whole tournie
