No CS at e-Stars Seoul 2012
By: Nix0n
Time: 2012-07-02 17:46
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

e-Stars Seoul 2012 is set to take place 27-29 July, but won't be featuring a Counter-Strike 1.6 tournament like previous years.

Since the conclusion of the 2011 event, which was won by Frag eXecutors (now ESC Gaming), news from the South Korean event has been very limited.

The news is now out that the event is taking place 27-29 July, which are the same dates as the Spanish event GameGune. The two events have clashed in the past, but this year it won't matter.


e-Stars Seoul discontinues with CS

The reason is that e-Stars Seoul has dropped Counter-Strike 1.6 for the 2012 event, deciding to go for titles such as Tekken TT2 and League of Legends.

The latter has enjoyed great success in the country since the addition of the Azubu League of Legends Championship, which hands out over 100,000€ in prizes per season.

So while the focus has been on Seoul during the summer months in previous years, the Counter-Strike 1.6 enthusiasts will have to do with just the Spanish event this year.

why are u happy to hear that a game that the guy u live in memory of is going to die?
2012-07-03 09:21:40
tired of this game. Nothing new last years. Same players, same tops, same teams, same TACTICS. Boring.

it's already time to die
2012-07-03 17:27:15
gotta agree with u:) r.i.p. 1.6
2012-07-03 17:30:27
Same Players? Same Tops? Same Teams? SAME TACTICAS?! O.O

nothing new.
tactics are the same.
2012-07-03 18:15:38
lets face the truth,that would happen becuase riot is a company that invests money in their game... valve didn't give a fuck about 1.6 and still not giving a fuck.
2012-07-02 19:09:00
but maybe riot = 1 game , valve = 9999999999 games
2012-07-02 19:26:32
Valve 2 games...
2012-07-02 19:31:51
Valve created a lot of games but also a lot of workteams...
2012-07-02 19:42:59
2 games ? ok
2012-07-02 19:46:50
2 competitive games..
2012-07-02 20:32:43
OMG YOU DONT UNDERSTAND NOTHING! its not about competitive or not dude! valve spent a lot of money for 996164626 games and Riot is spending money just for LoL
2012-07-02 21:28:48
CS 1.6, CS:Source, CS:GO, Dota2, TF2, all competitive games... prolly more, these are just the ones i know are being played competitively, on a serious level.
2012-07-02 21:51:58
well then why valve did alot of updates to cs:s
in 2010... it ruined the game but still they released the game and after made updates to it...
2012-07-02 20:59:13
And Guess What,Next Year I fuckin swear that we are going to see CS again in all of this big tournaments...

A tournament without a good FPS is not a tournament...

Hopefully CS:GO if it works out well, if not then 1.6 :) I seriously think CS:GO would make the beginning of a new era IF it works out well.
2012-07-02 22:47:35
I'm sure LoL will give them 10x more viewers then CS ;) League of Legends finals are watched by 200k + people(i mean in the same time) so i don't think so.
I love 1.6 too but well... tbh this game is dying for a long time.
We can play only for fun and pleasure now ;)
I hope they will make any other good FPS game simillar to cs.
2012-07-11 02:44:44

2012-07-02 18:08:01
If you could change rates in CS OL then it'd be decent.
2012-07-02 18:53:18
You have 3 hundred million NaoCan in Crossfire , right?
2012-07-02 19:31:08
Well now you can breathe CSOL and crossfire, because the air in your country smells like sh*t.

...So naturally you want to destroy Counter Strike, when teams from Europe dominate this game, it is best to invent a new game to be happy in the initial successes . good luck mates

and for all the csgo haters ....the game has changed ALOT ...it's your choice ..do you prefer no CS at all in the future of csgo? (wich feels like 1.6 atm)

How the fuck can you say cs:go feels like 1.6 atm !?? The only polite conclusion that I can take from your comment is that you'r a noob on cs 1.6 and haven't played much of it. Jesus.
2012-07-02 19:21:15
Oh my *facepalm*
2012-07-03 02:04:15
Did you even play CSGO?
2012-07-03 04:48:51
Yes, I have played CSGO, I didn't say it sucks, It's just outrageous to say it feels like 1.6 atm, it's a lie. I wish it did though.
2012-07-03 16:12:44
Hmmm they actually dropped it for LOL not for GO but soon GO will feature all those tournaments which dropped 1.6.


P.S GO is AcTuAlLy GeWd GaMe guyZ just WaiT for full version + UpDaTeZ
2012-07-02 17:59:01
i sure hope so -.-

patrik lindberg O_o
2012-07-02 18:01:00
Promod is much better than cs:go. Its all about marketing. They dont kicking cs 1.6 from tournaments because nobody wants to play it anymore, they just pushing cs:go so they can sell it and make some money. Thats all. Counter Strike 1.6 is the best game ever made and so many years on gaming scene is the proof of that. This news for me are like: "Champions League droped football and added horse racing." :) So stupid but i understand that its just a bussines.

Bad english, sry.
2012-07-02 18:10:23
why you say that? lol has a huge comunity bugger than cs 1.6, source together or in the future than go!

2012-07-03 00:49:36
Who cares, we know CS 1.6 is a beautiful game, it needs brain to be succesfull and skill, a lot of skill, this game needs the most skill of all. This is why cs has less followers nowadays, you know, its more easy, its more popular.
2012-07-02 18:04:28

2012-07-02 18:10:41
right decision, dota for tekken and would be perfect, since dota is bigger on the asian market than LoL
2012-07-02 18:10:49
Asian LoL fanbase keep growing each day I believe, Dota still have the lead though.
2012-07-02 18:18:30
Tekken makes more views on TV then starcraft in Korea. Just so you know.
2012-07-03 19:57:45
really bad omg..
2012-07-02 18:12:47
and next year the all transition to CS:GO because valve makes a tournament to popularize it and top teams get sponsor because they are interested, same thing happened with 1.5 to 1.6...

Hopefully this is the end of 1.6 vs Source war, only time will tell.
2012-07-02 18:13:01
Tournaments are kicking 1.6's dead body.

Now, with only a FEW major titles with decent money remaining, I think it's time HLTV will start posting news about professional players retiring 1 by 1.

2012-07-02 18:18:42
i want to know only one FU#$$(%¨ thing, HOW MUCH VALVE PAID FOR IT?

2012-07-02 18:20:54
It's nice to read when people are saying "fuck estars" or asians.

Show some respect for those years of hosting 1.6 not only bad words.

It's shame for CS community...

The best multiplayer/team game is gone :(
I mean i don't play it activly as i used to couple of months back, but still i love to play it sometimes, and hell yeah i love to watch good teams on good tournaments.
I believed that 1.6 will stay alive, even if 70% of ppl are saying that it will "vanish" but, all cs 1.6 players/fans must see it happening. I'm sad 'cause 1.6 is dead with only few major titles, as i said i found 1.6 the best game ever.
2012-07-02 18:24:49

Okay they droped, And what now? Half of cs 1.6 Community knows about hltv and cs news reads your comments cs dieing, cs ending. The other half of cs 1.6 community they dont fucking care for nothing they play the game as usualy. Cs 1.6 made e-sport and now they are trying to destroy it, but unlucky they will not.

why the fuck would you care about a tournament you are not playing at ?! FFS play with your friends , CS IS NOT DEAD YOU HAVE TO PLAY IT fuck them i get no money if i watch that tournament , but i get a lot of joy if i play it with my friends.I started to make my own library of demos and counter-strike 1.6 i wanna make a time capsule for the next 10-20 years , take records, demos and pictures to DVD's and memory sticks to keep them for the future, i saved my old intelli mouse explorer 3.0 also

maybe , but how about the time when your father gave you that gameboy and told you that he was playing that shit when he was a kid and they had no internet conection ? i know at least 30-40 more people from Counter-Strike and we hang out most of the times , how about a reunion after 5 or 10 years ?
2012-07-02 18:48:46
You take it far too much seriously. There will still be internet and CS servers. Let's face it, how many people do you actually watch on streams? Probably just top teams, that's approximately 50 people. Those thousands of players won't stop playing CS because 50 professionals quit/switched to another game. There will still be local tournaments, online leagues and stuff like that. And frankly, I'd rather play a tournament/league myself, than watch others...

CS 1.6 is much too legendary, popular and good to die, although it might die on the same competitive level as we know it. People still play Diablo 2, Quake 1, Unreal Tournament and they still have fun. So will 1.6 players.
2012-07-02 21:02:49
i don't always joke , but when i do , its not about 1.6 ! but good point there sir
2012-07-02 23:09:00
People are talking about COMPETITIVE level, not how much it is played and if you can play it with friends and shit.
2012-07-03 05:35:46
yeah great and now every event have shits like tekken and forgot great games like 1.6 .
2012-07-02 18:34:46
So expected because Counter-Strike in Asia is long, long time dead.
Good bye
2012-07-02 18:37:30
HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU PLAY TEKKEN, i just don't understand....ok, you play at home with friends, for fun, BUT NOT AT A FUCKING BIG TOURNAMENT!

Lets hope that they will back next year with CS1.6. GameGune now feature CS, but i think that ESWC will made it also. ASUS Winter is our last big tournament this year.

South-Korea did much for all the games ( including cs 1.6 ), what do your country have already done?

organized more than 20 tournament on Balkan.

Hope we still will see some Action from CS.
2012-07-02 18:53:43
Well, not very surprising, it's true that outside of europe CS isn't on a very high lvl for quite a while.

Though I was surprised to see the prizemoney for ESEA lan finals :O
2012-07-02 18:54:56
CS DEADED
2012-07-02 18:58:58
Yes, everyone who isn't playing counter strike is retard, bastard etc. especialy asians because they prefer LoL, SC2 and other than BEST GAME EVER

Now pretend that CS is not dying, show me some screens with XXk of viewers, insult CS:S, CS:GO

Yes guys, fuck them because they gave money for 1.6 and host it over 10 years (WCG), fuck them for watching epic matches during the night (when it was in China/USA), fuck them for creating an Olympic image, fuck them for everything...

We should also fuck ESL because they want to earn money from adv. on stream, oh let's creat some topics about ReDeYe that he sucks.

Let's still thinks that 1.6 is immortal.

I dont get all this whining. If you actually stop and think about it this was to be expected. Cs has died already died in asia. Were they only suppose to hold a cs tournament to please a small european audience when they could easely get much bigger ratings in different games? I understand that you guys love the game but still.. Have some common sense.. It had to end sometime.

2012-07-02 19:42:28
its all about money, why would they have a CS tournament if just by adding LoL you will have thousands of casual gamers watching on your streams?

Doesn't matter though, if CSP gets big we will be on the biggest tournaments again, no doubt.

PS: CSGO keeps suckin and is not even getting updated neither balanced at all.
2012-07-02 19:52:10

I remember when I was testing CSP last year, there were many players from source and from different games and they were hoping for CSP to take over 1.6 so that the CS community will become as one again.

So I guess the only way to save the CS e-sport scene is for CSP or CS:GO to be successful.

It's a popularity thing. People are moving to different games and tournament organizers have no choice but to drop 1.6 most likely because it's no longer profitable.

True. These people act like kids and they blame the whole race for everything. Just don't let it get to you.

As for the CS:GO nah, I hope not. I would be more happy if CSP takes over instead of GO. I don't really like CS:GO.

Not really sure why everyone is getting upset at eStars.

Last year at eStars the crowd was horrible for us, barely anyone. Infact more people lined up to play a trial of some new asian MMO then watch any of the matches.

Their game "Operation Flash" or something had a crowd 10x bigger.

Korea is more focused on Sc2 / LoL at the moment. This is what the crowds will want to see, the organisers can only cater for the crowds.

eStars was a good tournament for 1.6 - prize money paid, great organization, great venue, great staff.

The fact of the matter is, no1 outside of europe (that is capable of hosting a major event) plays 1.6 anymore.

eStars was one of the good guys. They did things good.

link to post claiming WEM has 1.6 (that is somewhat recent)

If WEM does happen, and does have CS, it would be because China still values 1.6 highly where as Korea doesnt.

2012-07-05 16:29:48
its not about cs 1.6 life time. its about sponsor. about huge community. Day by day, we live with cs 1.6 and maybe in future will have another game with big tournament and another huge community like us. so plz dont judge anything about what game is not as good as cs 1.6 . CS 1.6 is a very huge statue in FPS game, is made by huge community.

Sponsor makes tournaments and gamers make community. so let it be. Sponsor takes the newest engine in gaming so they want to test out how that engine does in a FPS competitive game, how cs 1.6 gamers think or others in cs:s gamers think.

Now you can not accept that engine in that game makes a sh** thing but for sponsor they also want to make a huge tournament from the benefit of that sh** thing they show us. For me, tournament = sponsor + gamers. and when sponsor can not find any exciting things in cs 1.6 anymore, so tournament now becomes gamers + ... how we roll the games ourselves with no prize. I believe cs 1.6 will never die in our heart but for a competitve game, everything can change for a new time.
2012-07-05 16:38:25
FUCK eStars, ESL and WCG!
2012-07-05 22:58:52
Oh well
Csgo sucks . I got 2 beta keys for free few month ago and sold one key for 70$ lol . Sine valve annouced csgo official verison would be 15$ and i was so happy . Personally , i regconised this game would never be compared with cs1.6 or css . Evenwen its new game

2012-07-10 10:24:20
and if featured CS, that wouldn't be interest, because most of teams go on GameGune. So dont be sad because they didnt put CS
2012-07-11 02:53:30
next year the all transition to CS:GO because valve makes a tournament to popularize it and top teams get sponsor because they are interested, same thing happened with 1.5 to 1.6...
Hopefully this is the end of 1.6 vs Source war, only time will tell.
