By: Nix0n
Time: 2012-04-25 21:05
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

A new online league has seen the light of day as fnatic has announced a $4,000 league with twelve invited teams, starting on May 1.

Quite some time has passed since the last online league featuring top international teams, but the wait is now over.

In cooperation with Eizo, RaidCall, XSplit, MSI and SteelSeries, fnatic has announced their first online league. Although the fnatic PLAY crew has hosted a great series of online tournaments and qualifiers, this will be the first time running a full league, which has been named fnaticRC PLAY CS 1.6 league, short known as FCL.

The league will begin on May 1 and run for little over a month, with the final scheduled to be played on June 3. Twelve teams have been invited to participate in the league, including the top of Europe and Russia, as well as fnatic's own team.

The participating teams are:

fnatic Xizt, Gux, MODDII, karrigan, Friis
SK Gaming face, f0rest, RobbaN, Delpan, GeT_RiGhT
Lemondogs threat, kHRYSTAL, FYRR73, zneel, niko
Natus Vincere starix, ceh9, Zeus, markeloff, Edward
ESC Gaming kuben, TaZ, Loord, pasha, Neo
Moscow Five Dosia, ed1k, Fox, hacker, ROMJkE
WinFakt BASiC, allu, H^N, aslak, dRiim
Anexis BERRY, Nuggi, zE-, lomax, zanoj
Wikipediots ArcadioN, coloN, turkizh, Xyp9x, trace
Alternate Kapio, approx, Troubley, Tixo, Roman R.
myRevenge.de mat, maKz, jaenson, debsN68, avenue
E2G drizzer, mshz, Ozstrik3r, atLaNtis, pressy

The teams will be divided into two groups of six teams, playing the other teams in the group once in a best-of-one map format. First placed team in each group will advance to the semi-finals, while second placed team will face the third placed team from the opposite group in a relegation stage.

A prize purse of $4,000 has been put up for grabs for the league and top three placed teams will share the purse. The winning team will also receive five XSplit premium licenses for streaming. The prizes will be distributed as follows:

1. $2,500
2. $1,000
3. $500
 

A match day is scheduled to consist of three matches and the majority of them will be streamed. The English broadcast will be provided by fnaticTV, while cyberarena.tv will be handling the Russian cast.

The task to determine seeds and groups has been granted to us here at HLTV.org, we will announce the groups tomorrow.

We will also be featuring our Dreamteam game for this league, stay tuned for this announcement in the coming days.

All in all HLTV.org will be your hub for all coverage in this fnaticRC PLAY CS 1.6 league.

ahahha
2012-04-25 21:08:32
russia asiatic and european <:
2012-04-25 21:09:40
Russia is considered the bridge between Europe and Asia
2012-04-25 21:09:52
aka Eurasia
2012-04-25 21:17:57
but M5 are from moscow and moscow is in Europe
2012-04-25 21:25:57
but Moscow is in Russia and Russia is in Europe and in Asia.
2012-04-25 21:27:06
but where moscow is is 'european russia' :D
2012-04-25 21:28:02
"including the top of Europe and Russia"

They were talking about the whole country although M5 is in the European part of Russia.
2012-04-25 21:29:30

2012-04-25 21:32:25

2012-04-25 22:39:47
actualy it's only europe, because moscow is in europe
2012-04-25 21:37:59
It means that Russia is a really special country, it's not even a country. It's just there.
2012-04-25 21:38:28

2012-04-25 21:25:42
"A match day is scheduled to consist of three matches and the majority of them will be streamed."
I assume most of the matches is ONLY going to be streamed then. Darn it.. :/
2012-04-25 21:25:54
If cArn streams it would be AWESOME
2012-04-25 21:33:00
fnatic web says there will be couple of very interesting casters for the English one , MAYBE JOE/RAHIM ? :D
2012-04-25 23:38:44
So you can't sign up for this? :( Only the teams that are participating?
2012-04-25 21:26:30
as it is mentionned in the news: only 12 invited teams.
2012-04-25 21:34:17

No they keep on playing as far as I know.
Anyway, in order to participate at an event, you need:
- a full line up
- an orga which want to send you there
...If you see what I mean ;)
2012-04-30 15:27:55
yeh but this is an online league, I thought they'd at least participate online tournaments until they have a stable roster
2012-04-30 16:10:27

it's not like there are Asian or American teams, matches between West Europe and Russia are pretty common
2012-04-25 22:42:38
Very cool, shame its not lan.
2012-04-25 21:47:41

Prize to esc xD
2012-04-25 23:43:45
why is it only fnatic ever seems to create events? they the only team with sponsors? step it up SK/ESC/NaVi
2012-04-25 23:44:35
SK ? never
2012-04-25 23:47:20
that's actually a good point...Na`Vi, M5, ESC, SK need to step up with their own events which would definately help to keep CS 1.6 alive longer...
2012-04-26 00:03:09
imo they should create some online cup/event together
2012-04-26 00:07:02
yep
2012-04-26 11:36:12
SK are too greedy to give away any sort of money, the owners would probably not even pay the money but take it themselves...

2012-04-26 17:19:50
A question to HLTV.org:
do you, guys, think, it could be possible to organize something alike, may be involving the comunity to collect prize money? I mean to create an own legue. If everyone sends even 5$, this could be serious. We all could contribute to support cs 1.6...
2012-04-26 18:46:38
Nice idea, but I'm sure it won't happen, cuz you will not get enough money, too much kids in the CS community. :)
2012-04-26 21:35:23
the day that cs prize need public to donate is the real ending of 1.6 gaming.
2012-04-27 09:21:23
what happened to the Anexis roster? just temporary?
2012-04-26 19:13:28

msi should make some prizes available for hltv dreamteam, this will guarantee that all players here will watch the match just so they can see how their dreamteam players are doing
