zonic announces retirement
By: Nix0n
Time: 2012-03-17 19:34
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

Danny "zonic" Sørensen has announced his retirement from professional gaming, following the news of mousesports shutting down the CS division earlier today.

The Dane had already last year hinted at a retirement, but went on to join mousesports in December, where he replaced Vinh "ninja" Bui. After joining the German team, Sørensen attended two events with the team, both times failing to advance from the group stage.

Sørensen revealed to us in a pre-IEM6 World Championship interview that his contract with the German organization would expire after the event and the two sides decided not to renew. With mousesports shutting down the CS division today, Sørensen has decided to retire, announcing via his Twitter account.


zonic has taken the last swing with his axe

About his retirement Sørensen told us the following:

"I don't think it came as a surprise about my retirement this time. Back in December I had the feeling that I wanted to go to one last CeBIT and experience IEM for one last time. Even though we all hate the feeling when people are talking about the death of Counter Strike, I don't think we can avoid it this time. Every time we've said that CS was dying, all the experts were wrong.

This time I think it's different since all the sponsors refuses to put more money in CS. I retire today because I don't see a bright future in CS 1.6 and because I want to put more focus onto my education. I wish all the CS players the best of luck at CPH Games, and a huge shout out to all the people who have supported me throughout the years!"

Before joining mousesports, Sørensen was a long time in the Danish team mTw, before this it was NoA, but was also for a short period playing in SK Gaming. With mTw Sørensen had a very strong showing in 2008, winning KODE5, WEM and WCG.

Sørensen is not the first from the old Danish school to retire, his former team mates in Jonas "whimp" Svendsen, Muhamed "MJE" Eid, Brian "hpx" Pøhl, Christoffer "Sunde" Sunde and Alexander "ave" Holdt have all quit playing professionally.

The last tournament showing for Sørensen was last week in Hannover, when attending the IEM6 World Championship with mousesports, finishing second to last in the group to end his career.

NOOO =((( s2 zonic
2012-03-17 19:39:47
Sad, but now that u fail u come to say CS is dying becouse U have no sponsors anymore?

U retired becouse u cant even get close to a top1 anymore with mTw, and now with mouz, both organizations that sponsored your trips.

I am huge fan of your game, but i cant agree with your statement.
2012-03-17 19:40:21
sponsors are keeping money flow aka keeping CS alive. By your logic only top1 team deserve trips.. LOL

anyways he was king of CS in 2008 and he was in top3 team for more than 5 years so it is quite good.
2012-03-17 22:20:59
u really did not understood what i said.

a organization like mouz, and a player like zonic, work to be top1, not just to play group stage.

and the reality is both are far from a top1 at the moment, and thats why mouz shut down and zonic is retired.

if they got top1 iem6 they would close and retire?

and finally, i said i am his huge fan, but gaming as any sport is about moment.
2012-03-18 01:12:34
yea your right :)
2012-03-18 17:53:37

And ? a majority of the ppl who play at CS,don't care about eSport.So yes,CS1.6 is dying because the people who play yet at CS play only for fun.
2012-03-17 19:53:43
its about the sponsors mate. competive it is not looking too good

Its all about money, not about what people like to play.

Is natural a game that have 10 years without any big change getting less attetion then new ones.

However, the game have 10 years without any big change and steel have more steam players then others, and steel have a strong competitive scene.

CS 1.6 is not dying at all, valve is trying to kill it. They tryied with source, now they are doing it again with GO.

They "killed" 1.5, making 1.6 free. Why valve doesnt make a evolution of 1.6, like a 1.7 version, but putting other name, to sell it like a new game.

I really think valve deserve to get some money from me to keep playing the game they created.

I am being stupid here?
2012-03-17 21:23:19
"Its all about money, not about what people like to play"

Read my post again. Where do you think the money comes from? The sponsors.
2012-03-17 21:25:00
wap, i am not your enemy, so u dont need to be agressive here. I saw your post.

I work with events for 9 years, u can be sure i know about sponsors.

However money can come DIRECTLY from the audience too, as any sport, u play to watch it.

So dont blame sponsors, they just go with the flow on what your give them a better ROI.

And yet, we still have many sponsors on CS1.6, we just had a line up going to IEM6 from Brazil 100% sponsored.
2012-03-17 21:37:31
I fail to see where I am being aggressive, but oh well.

Yes money can come from us, but do you seriously think we can keep this game alive? If you organized events for 9 years, you know it is not cheap, especieally if we want it to stay as a competive game, it means we have to get the game in the big tournaments, and without sponsors this will not happen. I am not blaming sponsors, why would I blame them? They're awesome, but as zonic stated, more and more sponsors are pulling out of 1.6.

And keep in mind its not like CS will be dead tomorrow, that was not my point, but it is only gonna go down hill from now as it has been doing for quite some time now.

One of the best players in CS history. Sad day for CS, good luck in your education zonic!

CS is dead.
2012-03-17 21:15:18
CS isn't dead dude... A lot of young players. And BTW, a lot of oldschool players too.
2012-03-17 21:25:20
yes, a lot of players and almost no organisations
2012-03-17 21:47:38
We had see the last IEM tournament for CS, WCG is a joke, we don't know anything about ESWC. The rest tournaments are minor ones with a low prize pot. Some organizations are starting to close their CS squads...

Is not completely about the players. There is not so much good talents, the proof is that mousesports, SK, fnatic have mixed teams. Why is that? Because there is not replacements for the old ones. Yeah, there are good players, but not so good for these teams.

If that doesn't mean that CS is dead... Or at least giving its last breath.

Not just a player we admire, but honestly respect. You are humble, interactive and a great player. I wish you all the best Zonic. Good luck mate.
2012-03-17 21:33:42
Join in whatever time, you will find out that CS is the most played game everyday in Steam stats with around 60K-70K players,but if we count the number of non-steamers would be pretty high?
Its too bad seeing players retiring so often.
Hope CSPromod will success if 1.6 dies.

2012-03-17 23:53:30
Slowly going down, this is definitely fucked up. I've though about coming back to play CS since I got bored of playing LoL and whatever, but there isn't much in CS now that could possibly attract players to it. I blame valve for not supporting a 11 year old eSports legend that brought them so much fame and made eSports so competitive. Good luck zonic and good luck to CS 1.6, it seriously needs it.
2012-03-18 00:00:15
+1, so true. It would be easy for them to do some 30 000 dollars tournaments here and there, it's not like they spent 1 million for DOTA 2..

Just look what Arbalet did ALONE.

Why not, if there's something that made valve famous was CS 1.6. They could at least give it a decent ending... I mean, when CS 1.6 dies its an era that dies with it. A 200k $ tournament like the old days would kick ass, at least before it dies.
2012-03-18 17:17:17
Yeah...or just several 30k tournaments to keep it alive.
2012-03-18 17:21:26
The thing about CS dying isn't only the tournaments but also the team sponsors and the teams itself that deny to support the game, so making 30k tournaments wouldn't really save the game, but could help a bit I guess.
2012-03-20 22:41:05
I really want to see another IEM next year! :(

Anyway, I wish zonic the best of luck with whatever he chooses to do in the future!

Sad to say but i don't think we will ever see another FPS comparable to the impact counter-strike 1.6 has had. You just can't touch the community, the competition and overall game play the game has given all its players. Proud to say i had played this game since 2002 and up until the ghost town it has become. Hats off to a game of true skill, all the people who made this game what it is and all the professionals who made this game so exciting to even just watch. I will always remember this game...

A True legend, now all from the 2008 mortalTeamwork is retired.. that was what it was back then, all about the team work, they were simply amazing.

GL with everything your going to do in the rest of your life zonic, hope you will achieve what you want to :)
2012-03-18 23:43:50
Counter strike isn't dead, but as everyone in this community have come to realized it is dying.. Slowly and that's fucking sad. I mean cmon this Is the game that we all spent HOURS trying to master, trying to get into a good clan, trying to get a crazy hs and TD. This was the best game simply because it's do addictive and only the people who are actually dedicated will become even half decent. I just can't think of what will happen when all tournaments and clans disband, surely will be an end of an era. Surely valve can create another half decent game like counter strike with same engine but different graphics? Surely? I will truly miss counter strike .

Good luck Danny and thanks for the amazing times you have given us in CS over the years, a true legend of the sport.
