Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

15,000€ will be up for grabs at Pro Gamer Series Exponor, taking place October 11-14 in Porto, Portugal.

It has been a little over two months since Porto featured the last event, which was the xfunction Fraglider Cup by CJM. A new event has now been announced to take place in October, featuring a 15,000€ prize purse.

The event will see support from peripherals manufacture Ozone, naming the tournament PGS Ozone Counter-Strike 1.6.

The 15,000€ prize purse will be split between top three finishing teams, with the following breakdown:

1. 9,000€
2. 4,000€
3. 2,000€

In the announcement it is mentioned that this event is an invite only event. Teams wanting to take part in this event will have to contact the organizers by going here.

Well done .pt!

Would like to see some sick teams invited, we need another tournament like CPH Games!
2012-08-07 22:20:32
Yeah, CPH games were awesome!
2012-08-07 23:19:34
Aye! Mind you, I'm not opposed to weaker teams getting a shot at getting to play vs pros, but the group system in DH Valencia was a bit shit.
2012-08-07 23:32:54
I totally agree, it definitely was.
2012-08-07 23:35:34
There will be tournament as CPH games, later in November
2012-08-07 23:32:05
Great :)
2012-08-07 23:35:17
name?
CPHGAMES 2013 will feature CSS, CS 1.6 and CSGO :)
2012-08-07 23:37:45
Game and Gadget Expo will be comming up in November in Fredericia, Denmark, which is arranged by the same guys behind Copenhagen Games
2012-08-07 23:40:10
That is absolutly AWESOME NEWS! i will be there 100%!
2012-08-07 23:41:50
where can i find more informations?
the website is empty
2012-08-07 23:46:57
Almost sure NaVi will be at this one, as they mentioned they would come to Portugal this year.
2012-08-08 05:08:42
:) good news
2012-08-08 08:51:05
+1 1.6 FTW
2012-08-08 13:20:55
yes! :)
Brazil in game...
PlayArt, paiN or GamerHouse? in portugal.
2012-08-08 13:43:10
i wish playArt :)
but i guess pain will come here again for "revenge" :D
2012-08-08 14:23:41
'-'
paiN x kick
Game of the Century
2012-08-08 14:41:14
not of the century but yeah, it will be a great game to see how pain will play this time and if k1ck will use their strats ('cause coachi said that they didnt use it anyone) but k1ck vs playArt will be more epic
2012-08-08 15:39:26
why you never saw the GamerHouse in action.
GamerHouse champion upon Mandic now (PlayArt)
link: http://www.teamplay.com.br/view.php?not_id=8437

GamerHouse – rikz, kng, lrz, michel e fv
Mandic.Razer – bit1, fallen, fnx, nak e bruno
2012-08-08 16:21:47
looooooool

paiN dont stand a minimal chance against k1ck

they will be raped everytime they play against k1ck
2012-08-08 18:36:21
I agree!
No entanto, eu não posso dizer o mesmo entre GamerHouse e PlayArt.
The Kick does not have many chances in the game ;z
2012-08-08 18:58:32
I think K1ck are still 1 step above GamerHouse and PlayArt :P Games that would be interesting to watch!

Hope to see u at Pgs :P
2012-08-16 12:10:55

seems like with the big lans gone, it's left room for smaller lans to spring up with very decent prizes
2012-08-07 22:09:38
yes. but as the big lans dissapear do does the top players will to play the game practice and be at top level. less and less cares. they start playing dota2 / csgo 3x more then cs1.6 and when the games are released we will lose alot of the CS 1.6 top players
2012-08-07 23:39:11
big lans will be back,stars will be back. no one has really retired from CS:)
2012-08-07 23:42:44
What the... nobody has really retired from CS?
Mhm... yeah i admit... some still play gathers and such.
Big lans will be back? I really hope but we need a big community for it. And as CSGO soon will be released a lot of peoples from this site will rotate to CSGO.
2012-08-07 23:46:45
you'll see =)
time for new generation

Sory but Russian Fox was known before Portuguese Fox...

PT Fox came to fame when he played at GameGune and he used foxj not fox

RU Fox was already known by that time
2012-08-08 11:32:12
No.

You might have known him around gamegune, but portuguese fox has been around in the international scene way long before that. The whole "fox > *" comes from gotfrag by the time WCG 2002 took place, it's not exclusive or new on hltv.org.

Dude
"fox" was known in international scene before his years at gamegune?

He was "no one" as so to speak

He has been playing from a lot of time ago I know that... but he gain fame at gamegune and with the nick "foxj" and not "fox" as I recall...

most retarded comment i've ever read around here.. congrats..
2012-08-07 22:33:01
The event will see support from peripherals manufacture Ozone, naming the tournament PGS Ozone Counter-Strike 1.6.

Ozone isn't a Portuguese brand so..

http://files.sharenator.com/genius_meme_There_I_Fi..

Besides that, we have no money cause of eurozone lol, when we had our own currency we were doing just fine :), guess why germany is the richiest country and the one with "more power" in europe :o
2012-08-07 22:35:19
Every country is becoming poor except for Germany :x
2012-08-08 11:36:53
lol dude, this is because Germany has a fkin awesome economy..they can provide for themselves in almost every way..plus they have so much multinationals who bring in the money and invest in their own economy, that they are not depended upon import
2012-08-09 14:46:53
if you're more interested to discuss economy in hltv.org instead of support 1.6, i think you shouldn't comment.
2012-08-07 22:37:05
indeed.. they must be hiding something..

HAHA
2012-08-08 02:41:40
Yeah cause 15.000 euros is A LOT of money rofl.
2012-08-10 16:59:48
you could almost buy a country with that kind of money!
2012-08-11 01:22:00

we have 1 or 2 tournaments every week, we have a medium/high tournament with 1500e prizes at the end of this mounth, we got XLparty, and we now have this huge tour...
it seems that cs 1.6 is going pretty well around here... so you can go fuck urself IEM, ESWC, WCG.
we don't need big LANS, small lans and dedicated players/staff will carry on with 1.6.

And btw, this event will also host 5000e Starcraft II tournament, sponsered by MSi.

mad cs:go fans?

Yeah, come here to play, noobs. K1ck will give 15-0 to fnatic, if needed. They were lucky we missed them in Spain. But I guess they smell the skill from Denmark and will not come.

Anyway, nice prize money. Easy money, I say.

fnatic, ESC, Natus Vincere, Virtus pro, M5 (If you have time to prepare), Ex-SK (maybe), znation (Hope), DELTA, x6tence, KerchNET (Must also have a decent game show), K23 (If you go, it is to prepare and will look much more worthy than GameGune), I should like to see a band of Swedish (niko, zneel, FYRR73, threat, kHRYSTAL), without a doubt it would be nice videlt BASiC and CO,, well, in addition, are any German groups, if these still remain. Or like the staff HEADSHOTBG.

If that's supposed to be the teams you think should be invited, I must ask: you made that list with k1ck already in your plans?

Big teams like fnatic could very well this tournament. Flight plus accomodation is around 500€ per player (around 300€ for the flight and 200€ for a room and food). Since they're fighting for the 1st place, they make a good profit from the experience. Even if then take 2nd place they're still winning money (even at 750€ per player which is a bit overpriced).

Anyway, I will cheer for the strongest portuguese team (most likely K1ck)), but we may see big teams in this tournament and it will be MUCH more difficult than our the last "big" one.
