K1 League announced with $95,000
K1 League 2012 season one has been announced featuring Counter-Strike: Online and will take place from late May until early July in Shanghai, China with 600,000 RMB (~$95,000) in prize money.
The event will feature a total of eight teams, six of whom will hail from China and TyLoo being the first confirmed participant following their two consecutive domestic wins in the past weeks at ECL 2012 and Seagate Challenge.
Final two spots will be handed to top European teams, among the invited are SK, fnatic, Natus Vincere, ESC Gaming, Moscow Five and more. After confirming the possible attendees, the event organizers will decide which two will get to attend season one with all expenses ranging from flights to accommodation and food fully covered.
fnatic and Natus Vincere invited to return to Shanghai next month
K1 League is the biggest Counter-Strike: Online tournament in China and they plan on hosting two regular seasons in 2012. CS: Online is based on CS 1.6 and made for the Asian market, based on a micropayment model.
First season is scheduled to begin in late May and run into early July with the winners taking home 100,000 RMB (~$15,800). Second season is expected to finish by October, and the grand finals event of 2012 with even more prize money will be held at the end of the year.

I used to play Counter-Strike:Online once. Literally it's just like CS:GO. Especially the ballistics, you can't control it because it feels like that each shot you takes is deferred. anyway since the prize purse is awesome, it's not a bad news :S
2012-04-26 15:13:25
cs online is not like CS:GO at all . it is like cs1.6 , only diffrent is you cann't add any config at cs online.
2012-04-26 15:22:44
CS:Online sucks -_________- even it basically from cs 1.6, it's still different .. it has different aim than 1.6 and still need internet connection to play this game no matter where u are
2012-04-26 17:08:11
nice!
2012-04-25 20:56:07

2012-04-25 20:57:18
it is based on 1.6, read the news: P
2012-04-25 20:57:51
i read and i still have the same question: dafuq?
2012-04-25 21:02:37
csonline is just like cs1.6. Maybe you can treat it like cs1.5. Then you know the differences. More maps and more...any way I hope SK and ESC
2012-04-26 16:12:39
Its been around since 2008, as the news states, made for the Asian market. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Strike_Online

i've played the CSO SEA. it is basically 1.6, with micropayments and additional modes like zombie modes.
there's still the normal classic game mode, deathmatch, team deathmatch. with a clan battle system (scrim.
there's other weapons other than the usual 1.6 weapons but proper/decent players plays it 1.6 style. :D

2012-04-25 22:44:12
So a highlevel game in CS:Online plays out exactly like 1.6 or is there some major/small difference?
2012-04-26 15:16:28
What exactly does "micropayment" mean?
2012-04-26 19:23:16
CS:online is a game that launched by Nexon cooperate with valve. this game featuring many new mode likes zombie mode, zombie scenario, human scenario, etc. And new weapon likes Scar, XM8, dual Infity, MG3, etc.
this game quite popular in East Asia and South East Asia but the problem of online games always same, cheating and cheater xD

why not just use 1.6 :D no one uses CS: Online !!!
2012-04-25 21:06:35
Asians use cs:online, and event is there
2012-04-25 23:39:14
I guess most of the people didn't realize that it isn't a cs 1.6 event..
2012-04-25 21:06:44
CS:Online seems to be an exact copy of CS:CZ with a micropayment model, which is practically the same as CS 1.6, it's not like there are any differences in gameplay.
2012-04-25 21:16:37
There aren't? Because awp and m4 in CZ and 1.6 feel a hell lot different i don't know why...
2012-04-25 21:24:16
and?
still the same precision.
and quickscope works identically

2012-04-26 13:04:43
Maybe you're right. I haven't played CZ after my very initial days in counter strike. The awp seemed to be easier in CZ and the m4 seemed to be less powerful.
2012-04-26 15:18:11
what is happened with threads ? :O?
2012-04-26 09:49:40
no idea, presumably something to do with the sites problems being down for hours earlier. i just write here, i don't know about stuff like that.

hu, cs 1.6 team playing cs online(chinese version -_-) :D
2012-04-25 21:16:47
Is Nexon sponsoring this or why would you play this terrible version of CS?
2012-04-25 21:23:26
because this is the main version of CS in Asia and this is targeted to an Asian/global audience. ingame it is identical to CS 1.6 anyway.
2012-04-26 08:02:28
Fucking awesome!
2012-04-25 21:26:12

2012-04-25 21:26:59

Sad its not for 1.6 :( But good prize money!

So let me get this straight... This CS game is an MMO... so the players who will be attending will have to level up to buy guns & stuff? Because that's what I figured out from what #29 posted... (that youtube video). I don't know... the game seems fine... like lurrpis said it really looks a lot like CS:CZ... then what is the point in taking 1.6 and changing some models? The maps look the same, the weapons seem to fire the same... WHAT'S THE POINT?!
2012-04-25 21:46:46
the game admins can provide full set of weapons for the participating players.
what's the point? cos the publishers of the game can earn from the micropayment model? what else...

do the europeans teams change for 2nd season and having 4 in the finals (if their performance is enough) ?
2012-04-25 21:48:28
I presume before making any changes organizers will wait and see how the 1st season finishes.

2012-04-25 23:49:51
did you play it? because I've seen it and it's identical to CS1.6. only the interface is different.
2012-04-26 08:08:10
as I am a Chinese and Ive played CS Online
I should say it's an OK game and not as competitive as 1.6

2012-04-26 18:57:36
Quick facts:
CSO is identical to CS1.6 in-game.
K1 will take place on LAN and will last for more than a month.
K1 will cover the travel and accommodation expenses of 2 foreign teams.
taking this into account we can expect at least 2 top teams, most likely SK and Na'Vi. additionally we could be seeing M5, FX and fnatic attend as well. the remaining teams are probably going to be Chinese because I can't think of any other teams who can afford to travel to China for a month on their own expenses.
Anywa, I would have liked to see SK Na'Vi M5 ESC fnatic TyLoo playArt Lions/Back2back.

How do you know? Have you played it? Some chinese dudes says it's not the same ingame.
EDIT:
did some youtubeing, and the chinese 1.6 teams seems to have played a few tournaments with CS:Online, and it looks like it's the same gameplay with new models.
Nice for the 1.6 scene, with one new big online league and a big event in china.

I've played CSOL for one time only, after that, i uninstalled it...
I'm not saying that CSOL is not good, compared with CS:S and CS:GO, CSOL is more like 1.6 than that two, but still there are many differences, and also there are cheaters. Even you kill some players in a row without cheating, there are some guys thinking you are cheating, same shit problem with other online games. Sponsors don't like 1.6 so much as before, so they have no choice.

Will this tournament feature CS 1.6?

cant imagine csol at a lan event!
BTW most 1.6 players in China dislike csol very much, its online game, with more game modes than 1.6, stuff like zombie, level up, cash weapon, and female models attract lots of kids playing it, but I think they will adjust some net configuration, then its very much the same with 1.6.
I played it during college, in regular servers , I feel moving shot is very easy to control, esp AWP is terrible, one can jumping or moving awp anyone at any time, some say in classical servers, its the same with 1.6, I didnt dig into that deep anyway, so nnot sure.
if just for fun, I think its not that bad as a cs online version, but for professional gaming,???
anyway, wait and see.

so the total prize money for season 1 is 600,000 rmb and the first place gets 100,000 rmb so the remaining 500,000 rmb will be divided over the other 7 teams? sounds really strange (70,000 rmb each team average)
2012-04-26 16:06:51
include free flight and hotel
2012-04-26 16:15:54
I think you're missing the point. According to this news:
Total prize purse: 600,000 RMB
First place prize: 100,000 RMB
Teams: 8
2nd-8th place total prize purse: 500,000
my point is, if this is right then all teams will walk away with a massive amount of prize money because the distribution will be something like this:
1. 100,000
2. 90,000
3. 70,000
4. 60,000
5-8: 45,000

cs online is like
crossfire...
im guessing cs online profits from ppl buying "items" and crap.
and what really annoys me about CS:GO is the GO part
GLOBAL OFFENSIVE.... that's what crossfire names their CTs. shouldda just named it counterdyke.

in terms of profits from ppl buying 'items" , csol is like crossfire. but the other wise, its the most 1.6 feeling version if u know what I mean. only little kids and ppl who never played cs1.6 will choose crossfire, its the worst fps game.
2012-04-27 04:09:24
i played CS:Online in my country, its exactly the same with CS:CZ than CS 1.6
2012-04-26 22:13:43
15k for the first place. i loled
btw the game sucks since there are only a few asian servers/hosts. its just a fancy copy of cs:cz. gl hf at playing with < 200 ping. for some reasons it was quite easy to pwn them anyway :D at least it was fun to play some old school maps. Just played it 1hour after that i got annoyed of the lagg and the config setup to save all the time.
i guess its more a promo for the asian area to get more players/buyers.
Dont get it me wrong its nice to see new tournaments show up. but yeah it wont get much attention outside asia. lets see if they can provide hltv at least :D

2012-04-27 08:27:59
I have been an CS online player too among Chinese mainland server and Hong Kong Server. Althougt this Korean online game is a wanker at some aspect such as charge player for the temporary availability of some rifles such as AWP Colt AK with cash instead of game points which can be earned while playing based on how well you perform and restarin most of the config in console panel that is available in CS 1.6, however its very convenient too set up a virtual room to play and to spectate a game.
In addition , to control the effect of arsenal recoil it would be quite different with those of 1.6 while spray bullets out.
