mTw wins Go4CS:GO Cup #1
Time: 2012-07-19 12:03
Game: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

The first in the series of Go4CS:GO cups organized by ESL finished last night with mTw's victory over French squad MAXISAUCISSE, 16-14 on de_dust2_se and 16-5 on de_nuke_se.

Even though the first of four scheduled weekly Go4CS:GO cups started way back on July 8, the final was postponed for yesterday. In it, mTw met MAXISAUCISSE, a French squad that knocked out Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund's and Richard "Xizt" Landström's mix-team ROCKSTAR in the quarter-final after overtime.

The battle started on de_dust2_se with mTw on the T side, and this intercontinental squad that features a Canadian player took a 10-5 lead. In the second half MAXISAUCISSE started mounting a comeback and they evened the score at 12-12, leading into a tight finish of the first map.

Several rounds were exchanged but still nothing separated the two teams, with the score still even heading into the 29th round. mTw were then forced to have an eco, hoping to bring the game to overtime, but their only Swedish player Alexander "rdl" Redl stepped up and recorded 4 kills to bring his team the crucial round. The next and last round of the half also went down to the wire and it was again mTw that came out on top, thus closing out the map with a 16-14 victory.

The second map was de_nuke_se where mTw started on the favored CT side and took a convincing 11-4 lead, partly thanks to Brandon "Weber" Weber's several clutch plays. After taking the second half pistol mTw didn't give MAXISAUCISSE a chance, and despite of dropping one round, they quickly brought the match to a close with a 16-5 result.

mTw's lineup for this tournament was:

Brandon "Weber" Weber
George "hudzG" Hoskins
Andre "nooky" Utesch
Alexander "rdl" Redl
Joshua "steel" Nissan

Final standings of Go4CS:GO Cup #1

1. mTw - 100€
2. MAXISAUCISSE
3. VeryGames
4. CodeRed

mTw received 100€ for their victory and they will have a good chance of qualifying for the monthly cup as one of the top eight teams in the monthly rankings.

MAXISAUCISSE have also practically qualified and are currently leading the rankings thanks to adding a 3rd place finish from the second cup that took place last Sunday.

The final of that second cup was also postponed and it will be played tonight at 21:00 between two French teams, VeryGames and Evokate, with ESL TV's Joe Miller casting the match here. Both of those teams were knocked out of the first cup by its winners mTw, who didn't take part in the second edition.

Go4CS:GO cup #3 is also on the way, scheduled for July 22 and the signups are open to everyone.

Like it or not, CS GO is part of the Counter Strike franchise, so get over it or keep whining.
2012-07-19 23:26:06
GO is not Counter-Strike. It just uses CS name to attract more people.

Well it's still something. Plus winning the monthly final will give you 500€ extra. For an open weekly league, playing a closed beta stage game I think it's ok.
2012-07-19 12:28:21
Since it's beta not that bad :>
2012-07-19 15:01:01
in Dota2 beta tournament the prize pool was 1.000.000$
2012-07-20 14:14:20
was it hosted by ESL? no.

also has any tournament ever, ever in cs had a prize pot of 1.000.000 usd? no, not even close and it will never have one so stop using dota2 as a comparison.

Okay, again 200 "I don't care about CS:GO" posts incoming..
2012-07-19 12:13:48
Correct! I'm obviously the minority who is willing to give GO a bit of time before I immediately dismiss the game as "CSS Remake" because it obviously isn't (for the most part at least).
2012-07-19 12:17:15
I actually don't care about CS:GO, but I don't find the need to spam every topic about what I care/ don't care about. I'd give it a shot if the opportunity came, afterall it's just a game.
2012-07-19 12:39:53
I've played a bit -- even played a few pick ups on ESEA.

And sorry to disappoint you, but the game is based about 80% on CSS and only about 10% on 1.6. The remaining 10% is original, but terrible ideas like the molotov cocktail and restructuring the buy menu for no reason.

The recoil is so messed up that it is not uncommon to see a T and CT meet at opposite ends of dust_2 middle (one at cat, one at top of mid) and both spend their entire clips without anyone dying. It's absurd.

I don't know what this is, but it isn't Counter-Strike. It's Counter-Strike gametype and that's about it.


TL;DR Promod is our only hope.

Guys you might as well cut out your idiotic "I dont care" comments, if you do not care about CS:GO, try not clicking the newsposts that contain "CS:GO".

We will continue to cover any and all CS 1.6 events there are, regardless of our other activities.

Out of line, on my own website, really? Is it maybe in fact not you that is WAY out of line trying to tell me what to do?

We did not cover CS:S because it was irrelevant from our perspective, CS 1.6 was the FPS game of choice for all big tournaments, and spending resources on CS:S would not be something that could pay itself off. With CS 1.6 now not appearing on so many events we have paid staff that has less work to do, so I could either sack Nix0n, Tgwri1s and lurppis, and be unable to cover the few 1.6 events that still remain, or I can put them to work covering other games, and keep them around for when we need them for CS 1.6.

So you tell me who is out of line here again.
2012-07-20 08:29:33
This shit starts to annoying me. Every time I see a news on HLTV I get excited but when I realize it's just about CS:GO I get very disappointed. If you really want to cover that game, could you please make an option to personalize the website so I don't have to read that shit?

And what, just post nothing, what exactly does this take away from you? We will keep covering CS 1.6, we will attend GameGune, we will keep doing booking, stats, demos and so on, so why exactly should we stop covering CS:GO?
2012-07-19 13:36:07
It sucks bro ! :(
2012-07-19 14:06:25
<rant>

FFS

Thats your opinion, that you think it sucks, doesnt give you the right to ask for it to be removed, wtf, your opinion is not the only viable one.

Learn to tolerate other people, there is people who do enjoy reading about CS GO (Me being one of them).

So please, just stop posting stupid comments about what you think of cs go in every post that contains cs go news, just dont fucking open the post, is it so fucking hard ?

As Nomad said, how does it affect you that they cvover CS GO, as logn as they keep covering 1.6, it doesnt affect you whatsoever.

Its like if you start whining all day because they put basketball on tv apart from football, and you only like football, does that mean that they can only show football because you dislike basketball ? LET ME ANSWER FOR YOU, NOOOO THEY CANS TILL PUT BASKETBALL ON TV BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE LIKE IT...

Now pelase cut your bulsshit posts.

2012-07-19 23:32:39

Fuck, please think before posting.
2012-07-20 00:30:04
I said "I won't read any topic about it" = "I will not read any topic about it" !!

2012-07-20 00:33:20
Ok, good point, my bad.

Still, I dont understand why you opened this post only to point out that. I highly doubt anyone cares about what you will or will not read.

2012-07-20 02:47:10
HLTV.org says that you cover everything aboute Counter-Strike right? But i havent seen any CSS news in ages? So why do you have to write news aboute CS:GO since its basicly css shitmod?
2012-07-20 02:42:11
thats how they can earn some money, with coverage some other games, cuz cs is almost dead.

Nice to see some GO coverage on HLTV.org. Hopefully we can see a little bit of coverage on the US ESWC qualifier.
2012-07-19 12:38:20
the developers/designers of games today are on a really low level. they just dunno what a game needs to have a good gameplay. thats why i dont support cs:go. and obviously games are becoming more 'realistic' which really isnt the point of games doh. dunno really what goes through their minds o_O they should definitely play the game for a year or so, to see what part of the gameplay is good to have. dont mind if you post news about cs:go, cuz 1.6 will die in 1 year (yeah ppl will still play it, but there wont be any events)
2012-07-19 12:50:47
I watched some minutes of this VOD, only search, run and kill, no wallbangs, hard to notice some nice throws grenades, no cool actions.

It was boring and my eyes was bleeding.
2012-07-19 13:02:04
there are plenty of wallbangs in cs:go ...just not as many as in 1.6 ...they are trying to balance out some ridiculous wallbangs for realism purposes.
2012-07-19 13:15:39
How do you expect there to be cool actions when there are no teams that actively practice this game yet?

Tho, I've seen some pretty good nades thrown in rockstar vs. some Russian team two weeks ago.

steeL played with 120/130 ping? from Canada, what a shit game is that ?
2012-07-19 13:23:27
actually it shows that the netcode is far superior to 1.6

wich is not a surprise since everyone knows 1.6 has the shittiest netcode ever ..wich is why only LAN games are accurate
2012-07-19 13:56:12
i played CS GO and i guess netcode isn't so accurate, and i prefer for sure 1.6
2012-07-19 14:07:44
That's actually a good thing. It means that they improved netcode.
2012-07-19 15:18:50
I recall playing on the csgo beta, when I got thrown into an "auto connect to a competitive" server, I had 130 ping and noticed instantly (from gameplay, not literally noticing I had 130 ping), people would kill me when I had already passed the corner, my shots didn't do damage just before I died, peeking is an issue.

the best way to show that you DON'T CARE about CS:GO is NOT to comment on news about it . I know that by posting here I'm contradicting myself, but I'm just pointing this out for future.
2012-07-19 13:42:19
support cspromod. i think it has a lot of potential..
2012-07-19 13:42:47
unfortunately there's nothing to support atm. just waiting ;)
2012-07-19 22:51:05
i love it how e-thugz come to every news item saying they dont care about cs:go

If you didnt care, you wouldn't reply in the first place. Saying, and taking the effort to actually write about it, is implying you do care since you want to show the rest of the world how you feel about it. "Hello world, this is me, and this is how i feel"

So, in short, the best way to show that you actually dont care, is not to reply to the item. This will be very hard, i know. To the guy below, and i know you will reply with " i dont care" i say: Thank you for caring :)
2012-07-19 14:30:23

This game is for CSS players , i mean they are 10x times better than CS 1.6 players in CS:GO, now we can see how this game is^^
2012-07-19 14:39:30
If it is for CSS players then why in The Sound Blaster CS:GO Challenge before CPH 2 CS 1.6 teams SK and ESC were in final and 4 CS:S teams attended that event mouz CSS, CPH Wolves CS:S, TargetDown CS:S and Blight Gaming CS:S.
2012-07-19 15:11:23
that tournament consisted of two top4 CS1.6 teams, while there really wasn't any top4 CSS team on that list.
2012-07-19 15:20:11
mouz won the css event tho

2012-07-19 14:44:18
exactly i dont know, what people see in CS:GO? There is no tactic, just run and fire, weak graphic. CS 1.6 has got best graphic, and need so think about what you can do. Btw better i will play CS:P than CS:GO, but never of these games will replace CS1.6
2012-07-19 15:08:33
You're wrong actually. The movement is quite good.
2012-07-19 19:09:19

People need to understand that 1.6 is basicly dead and can't be covered anymore simply because theres hardly any events.

Go setup your own website. Times are changing and there's no problem with a website evolving with the times. You guys use Microsoft Word instead of pen and paper. You guys use e-mail instead of paper mail. You guys use cell phones instead of land lines. Times are evolving and Microsoft, Gmail, and Cell phone companies have all started to evolve...no reason for hltv.org not to.

Stop crying about how you're disappointed. Don't come to the site then because I, for one, am very interested in seeing news on CS:GO and seeing if players like GTR, moddii, markeloff, NEO or others will switch over and how the transisiton is like.

Starcraft made the best transition into Starcraft 2 and now the prize money is in the millions each year with hundreds of huge to smaller tournaments for professional players in all teams that we followed in 1.6. Start supporting or stop complaining.

2012-07-19 22:25:28
That's your opinion. Many people still use snail mail. Many people still write with pens. Many people still use land line phones. It's all up to opinion but when there is change people tend to panic before realizing how amazing new can be. But again, it's your opinion. Pz son.
2012-07-20 00:23:32
lol you cant compare that : I still have a shitty nokia c3 and write in pen most of the time so what , im not some fucking dude against evolution.
But tell me what about all those newspapers with rankings for cellphones , with arguments and both products , cant they tell that : man that galaxy is technicly way better than the nokia c3 but the nokia is way more robust...
Are you going to write to them : wow how can you say nokia is shit nowadays? My opinion is ....
Well let me tell that people who experienced both things in long term CAN crush your opinion , when you put both games one near the other its clear 1.6 is a better game , now after all those years we need a change it"s clear , but NO SERIOUS PLAYER WILL ACCEPT TO SWITCH TO AN INFERIOR GAME BY FACTS , with money pro playes might but BELIEVE ME CSGO is following the same path as his sister CSS , personnaly I believe it's gonna be more like cscz flop fail but I dont want to sound too harsh to you son , peace out.

Its a site about Counter Strike.
2012-07-19 23:37:41
If its aboute counter-strike why i havent seen any css news?
2012-07-20 02:48:15
Because they didnt feel like doing newsposts about it, or maybe because it was not profitable to make newspost about CSS ?
2012-07-20 04:26:52
GO is not Counter-Strike. CS in the title is used for marketing purposes.
2012-07-20 11:11:47
No, you are wrong.

This is Counter Strike, and thats a fact.

You can like it or not, but the fact remains that it is indeed a CS title.

You are all one minded if you think 1.6 is still the futures game. CS GO will take off, even if you do not play it thouands will. Enjoy beating a dead horse.

Those that are saying hltv is simply a 1.6 site, you my friend are an idiot.

If you have a problem with CS:GO news then why the fuck are you reading them, there's no one forcing you to do that. Good to hear what happens in that scene cause there ain't much happening in 1.6 at the moment.

Just playing CSGO for the first time today...

What is this game seriously? A Joke.....?

CS:Source is very very much better than CS:GO and CS 1.6 will be the best 4ever. People, don't stop play cs 1.6 =)
2012-07-20 20:41:17
so whats better in css?
2012-07-20 23:07:58
Nice pricepool.... xD
2012-07-20 21:05:20
i dont care. take this to callofduty-community.com or what ever is the name :D
2012-07-20 22:45:58
I read here guys saying they don't care about news of CS:GO and guys "fighting" against to that guys.

The point of all this things are about the GUYS WHO CREATED THE CS:GO, they really don't care about the players who dislike CS:GO (Maybe I'm wrong...)
but is that what looks like, because they are removing CS 1.6 and putting CS:GO.

They want to be recognized in all community for FPS-GAMING(MODERN WARFARE, BATTEFIELD, CSS, CS 1.6 and other FPS-GAMING).

The reality is... CS 1.6 have low graphics and it is a old game, because of that, the sponsors of Video Cards they saw the others games and they got one conclusion that CS 1.6 is exceeded. THEY DIDN'T WON MONEY with CS 1.6 like in the past, because in nowadays we are living in another ERA OF TECNOLOGY and everything in the world is about how much you will win or lost money !

But I have to say here, CS 1.6 was the BEST, IS THE BEST, AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST OF ALL FPS-GAMING !!! (I'M SAYING THE BEST, because none FPS-GAMING have ever get close of the way to play with one gun!!!That's why this game is SO POPULAR in THIS WORLD xD!!!

CS 1.6 NEVER WILL DIE, WILL BE ALWAYS IN OUR MIND.
2012-07-21 06:46:06
the only thing that this game its going to do is to bring more ppl to cs 1.6 like css
2012-07-21 08:57:26
Do you really, like actually really, really believe that?


Awkward.
2012-07-22 16:16:22
People are so angry about a game still not released.

1.6 isn't just a name it's a patch number. It wasn't created that way. It took a few years to become 1.6. You all need to grow up.

Brb loading up cs beta 0.8. /sarcasm
2012-07-22 16:19:56
