Our fellow reporters at Navi-Gaming.com have released a video interview with Dauren "AdreN" Kystaubayev, which was conducted during ASUS Final Battle of the Year.
The Kazakhstani star is currently plying his trade for Virtus.pro, who boast a lineup that contains some of the most successful 1.6 players in Eastern Europe.
Last week, Virtus.pro finished second at the SLTV StarSeries finals, losing to ESC Gaming in the tournament decider to walk away with a $3,000 cheque.
Before that, Kystaubayev and his team-mates relived the golden days of 1.6 as they took part in the ASUS Final Battle of the Year, where they clinched the bronze.
During that event, which was won by KerchNET, Navi-Gaming.com sat down with Kystaubayev, who discussed the process of creating this Virtus.pro lineup, the team's difficult transition to CS:GO and also his own opinion about the game.
The interview was conducted in Russian, but there are English subtitles which will help you understand what is being discussed.

hahahahahahahaha
taz neo ander starix nip etc etc
csgo pros say that, alluding to their 1.6 fans to make the switch, because a more popular game would mean more money for them!
Rule Number 1 in this CRUEL World: NEVER BELITTLE YOURSELF!
So your opinion is not susceptible to subliminal messages by anyone, unlike a lot of people around here:)
there are no additional money from spectators. tard. all money are being got from sponsors

More fanbase = + Tournaments/ + Sponsors.
+ Tournaments/ + Sponsor = + Money for Pros.
Oh and none of taz neo starix nip EVER said that GO is better than 1.6 !

PS: CS:GO is similar to CS:Source - AdreN.
Post edited 2012-12-30 03:03:02
I didn't even know he started in source but he was for sure one of the best in the world but his teams wasnt quite on the same level as him.
he switched to CSS in the early days of CSS and never came back because (according to his own statement) he would had to practice a lot more to compete in 1.6 than in CSS.
he played like 1 year CSS and became 2nd at WCG. his short time in CSS was pretty succesful, don't you think? how can you say "he was a noname in source and then became successful in 1.6" if he got second at the only major tournament CSS had during the time adreN played CSS? and as far as I know he never got second at a major 1.6 tournament.
Post edited 2012-12-30 04:29:14
You probably mean 2011, and that was the shittiest WCG ever with only 3 of the top10 teams at that time attending!
And they were barely 4th!
They were down 1-0 and 15-13 against ENTiTY in a 1v3 but some stupid miscommunication between entity's players cost them that round and later the match!
But you're definitely right about the bracket :)
fail, any 1.6 player > the best saucers. take a look at NiP.
Why you always have to be mad? Grow the fuck up, kid
Post edited 2012-12-30 11:37:28
I have read so many similar comments from you, and i have found them funny because i was convinced that you were joking. At least to some extent.
But now, I'm not so sure anymore and i have to ask you? Are you really serious with these comments? Do you truly believe that ANY serious 1.6 player is better than even the best source players?
You are probably suggesting that people with talent chose 1.6 and people with no talent chose Source. This could in theory be true but hardly likely right?
Now to my conclusion: You are not stupid so you understand what you are saying is probably not true, but the hate in you towards CS:S and there by association CS:S players is so strong that you can't stop saying these things. Why are you doing it? What do you want to achieve?
Is the simple answer that if you can't write hateful comments you don't have anything to write at all?
I actually agree with you to some extent considering the maturity of the 1.6 scene. We have always been far ahead when it comes to maturity of the game and most 1.6'ers are far more experienced when it comes to LAN's.
Actually I'm not debating the fact that 1.6'ers are more experienced and probably have an edge in any team based FPS. But i was more questioning the hate from dbie. He comments on lots of different topics but one thing that is constant is his hate towards CS:S and the CS:S players. And he is expressing it by repeating the same concept. Anything that involves a history with even the weakest connection to CS:S it's not even worth taking serious.
Like in this topic, adreN's personal opinion is worth nothing since he once played Source. The fact that he also was a dominant player in 1.6 becomes secondary. The truth is that adreN probably would've been a dominant player in what ever game he choses. Same goes for GeT_RiGhT, f0rest, Neo or any of the top players from 1.6 or any other game. Talent is talent. Maturity is maturity. Talent + maturity = Top Player.
And yes, i agree the reason behind it. Though it seems like a player like f0rest is just purely talented in every game he plays.
Very Games is raping everyone other then NIP. All of them squad are Source players and they even spank big teams like ESC.
Most of the pros like AdreN here are saying it´s pretty much 80% source. You failed, sir.
Just to come back to original argument:
No but i think that the best 1.6 players are better than the best CSS players.
Your words, and i proved you wrong. No fuck off.
Post edited 2013-01-08 01:23:09
I wouldn´t care less if you are the coder of both CSS and CSGO
"No but i think that the best 1.6 players are better than the best CSS players."
"Your words, and i proved you wrong. No fuck off. "
No you did not you dumb fuck. f0rest, GTR and Xizt have been the best players in CSGO.
So i still believe that the best CS 1.6 players are better than best CSS players. And it´s already proved by gtr & f0rest who are considered as one of the best. The others such as neo have some catching up to do.

Mercedes > Audi > BMW
Pure psychology!
Your example is totally different !
You do not have an immediate gain by liking mercedes more than bmw! That is if more people drive mercedes than bmw it doesn't make a difference to you!
If a game is good for me, why should I say it doesn't? If I feel more comportable in this game, why not to say that?
The awesome thing in cs:go is that it has players from both sides, even some of you don't like it, but NiP also have cs:s players, and it's awesome. VG are beasts. ESC are training as hell and learned very well the game. If you ask for recoil update, take an example from pro players, practice, practice and you will learn and use to it. New game, new things.
YOU don't have an immediate gain by claiming that mercedes is better than bmw, so your opinion can be considered 'meaningful', while Adren can benefit a lot if more players make the switch!

And yes, Volcano and sunman don't count as top players after 2006, they weren't winning tournaments anymore.
The top 1.6 players in the states like frod, rambo etc switched back to cs1.6 but none of the european cgs players did that bar zet (who was horrible in css imo, nothing but spray&pray).
CGS pretty much destroyed the american CSS scene so its no wonder that players wanted to move where there is competition. It took years for the broken CSS scene to recover from the CGS collapse in the states.

Adren is right on so many points , promod has indeed absolutely no chance to overcome CSGO , the game improved a tons from start and should be near perfect in a few monthes.
Love the haters with their cappy Pentiums IV that barely handle CSGO with 20 FPS and cry about how bad the game is.
Peace!
What can you do now ? Saying i'm a nerd ? -.-
And no, CS players like CS because of the way it's played competitively, because of the huge community, because of all theses fun mods etc. Crysis, BF and COD are totally different games and most of the players get bored after a few months because it's everytime the same
http://steamgraph.net/index.php?action=graph&a..
http://steamgraph.net/index.php?action=graph&a..
The competitive side of CS, CS:S have been dead for months and those games still top the charts, while CS:GO keeps lingering to the bottom.
most of the players get bored after a few months because it's everytime the same
Please tell me how much has CS changed in the last 13 years...
Same maps
Same weapons
Same mechanisms
Of all BF, CoD and Crysis, COD is the only one that hasn't changed much (for 5 years now), but every time they release a new game, there's new weapons, maps and modes. While with CS all we get are re-skinned maps, weapons. Especially gotta love the re-skinned L4D2 maps used in demolition and arms race.
The player activity decreases in those games because all those players also have interest in other games, they don't get stuck with just one game, they are gamers, they are not looking for role play experiences.
Also CS and CSS are games that, for many many gamers at least, have been in their lives for years and years, I dont see why they would feel the need to get a new game if they still have their favorite publics up and going on their favorite cs title.
I could go on to the very first CSS and CS public servers where I used to play for months before I had even heard about competitive scene and guess what, no matter what time id join there would probably be a few players that id remember from those times, playing there as always, just as bad as back then..
CSGO will start to get more players but it will take some time, just like it did with cs1.6 and source.

I hope half of the people posting get hit by large modes of transportation.
If you like one game more than another game, generally you're saying it's better.
There is a subtle difference, and if you cannot comprehend why then I would suggest you go back to school.
Not to mention, you're nitpicking the grammar in what is basically a auto-google translation.
1.6 just in its last update has been around and going strong since 2003. The game is about to be ten years old.... And now a new game is starting to garner some attention and momentum. Ya big win there for CS:GO.
I like the scenario to the current crop of 1.6 players in NA. They are not good. There is just no one playing the game. Win by default.
Post edited 2013-01-01 10:37:28
looks like someone talking shit for no reason. adreN is a good player who has proved himself on LAN vs top teams, so why act likes hes not good.
Bunch of clowns on this forum who act like they are good at cs when they've done nothing ingame or never won anything. adreN has been taking his teams to intl LANS for years and pulling some nice upsets.
So if I was adreN all I would say is WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU NOOBS
Yes, because it's obviously a source player who knows adreN's skill-level in 1.6...
As I said, ace fnatic and Na'Vi on LAN and maybe someone might know who the fuck you are, but until then you are just another no name noob talking shit about a player that you wouldn't stand a chance against EVER, in ANY cs version.
That or users here have horrible English(suprise!)
that they don't know the difference between "is better" and "I like better" ...
PLZ someone tell me there is a cure for the stupidity of this userbase! :[

All the excuses in the world, ranging from, 'one of the best 1.6 players is a noob' to 'VALVE IS OBVIOUSLY PAYING EVERYONE IN THE WORLD TO SAY STUFF!ONEONEONEONEON!!!!11!!!!!!!11}111!!11!!'
Ofc, there's the theory shared by those who aren't retarded morons with the intellect of a 3 year old on crack, which is simply 'He prefers CS:GO, like many 1.6, CS:S players and pros alike.'
Note, every post with the word 'saucer' (Or its variants) will be reported. Seriously the HLTV mods really need to step their game up, their lack of action is hurting the CS community as a whole.
i've had many posts nuked where i very vaguely say csp is a pipe dream and has no chance against csgo while a bunch of brainless farts are allowed to bloat the comment section of every thread with their 2 word vocabulary of "1.6" and "sAucer".
hltv is good, i appreciate their work very much, but the way they run their forums is fucking depressing.
Post edited 2012-12-30 10:02:16
But I do agree that they need to get tougher on all the hate (From both sides, but lets face it 99% of it is from the 1.6 fanboys), start handing out perma bans and having a 0 tolerance approach to mindless trolling, hate and discrimination.
crack down on all trolls, 1.6 leaning or otherwise, because i (and i'm sure i speak on behalf of many others) don't want to feel the need of responding to these blockheads so very often only to grant myself a lovely nuke while their ignorance ridden posts are kept intact for everyone to see.
Post edited 2012-12-30 10:33:36
Personally a month of zero tolerance 'Any hating against another game = perma ban' would clean this community up in no time. And overall provide better content as the idiots were no longer posting idiotic things.
The 1.6 pros doesn't do that. So let's grow up a little bit kids.
Plus, I agree with the fact that most 1.6 fans, maybe more then 50%-75% users here dosin't have latest computers to be able to play that game without lag and with full details. Thats why they say that 1.6 is the best, "yup the best 4 there pc's". Look at taz interview, he changed his mind, that on full details, when u don't have any lag, all settings on max, then u can really enjoy the game, taz who was so sceptic about GO in the 1st place and sayed that they won't switch untill there be 1.6 tournaments & now he enjoys the game and ESC took there 1st tournaments in GO at SLTV.
Have you tried? From your comment seems that you haven't...
So how do you know it's not actually better than 1.6?
:-P
already taz said, ppl dont play the game [so they hate it] because their machines can't run it correctly, and that's why u all mad
Post edited 2012-12-30 16:17:17
Happy New Year. Na zdrowie!
You guys just like to cry over 1.6 like a bunch of stupid babies. Accept that the competitive scene is gone so either keep your mouth shut and play your dead game, give CSGO a chance, or don't play either.
Learn to respect someone's opinion. The guy is nice judging by this interview and you're all talking shit because he likes one game over another? Grow the fuck up. Bunch of 12 year olds as usual that are probably that ones bitching anyway.
Why do I bother...
Post edited 2012-12-30 10:36:27
If ur not religious to 1.6 then ur fucked. Those people believa that 1.6 is da best anything else is just cod. Any else recoil pattern is just bad or random. Any different movement is again random cos only 1.6 is the right way.
Fucking funny is that they are so fanatical that they worsiped a poo for a years.
oh god 1.6 kids...
But, I must agree, CS:GO is much better game, in a direct comparison, CS 1.6 has nothing to offer now.
Just because his line of thought and his own personal preference/opinion is different to yours does not mean he is a "sellout" or even "traitor".
God forbid people to actually like a game they play, and then say it.
Because generally people who like 1.6 will also enjoy similar games (For instance the other counter strikes?)
So you're saying he only does it pr. interest and it has nothing to do with money/the community?:)
Fuck my life, some of you actually need to make sense sometimes.
"why didn't he pick any other game...."
Perhaps because he enjoys Counter Strike, perhaps because he likes the game? Perhaps that is where his friends play now?
Is it a crime to play CS:GO and like it?
Read... think... reply
Quote wiki:
Selling out is the compromising of integrity, morality, or principles in exchange for personal gain, such as money.[1] In terms of music or art, selling out is associated with attempts to tailor material to a mainstream or commercial audience, for example a musician who alters their material to encompass a wider audience may be labeled by fans who pre-date the change as a sellout.
/Quote
It's a personal opinion whether it's a good or a bad thing in the various situation, but he can still be defined as a sellout.

Football is the best sport ever dude. Face it :))
Post edited 2012-12-30 12:08:38
No but seriously, you don't think that a sport played by iceskaters, with sticks, a sport where you barely even see the ball (or the puck, whatever), a sport with a goal keeper who has the size of the GOD DAMN GOAL LMAO, a sport where every player wear protections on every part of their body to prevent from hurting themselves (poor lil boys :'[ ), and a sport that only 2 countries really have interest in (Canada and USA, who are btw the kings of boring and shitty sports) is better than a sport played and watched in every single country in the world?
And yeah, goals in football are kinda rare (well, the average is like 2.5 goals/game so it's not THAT rare), that's why they are so special. Spectating a goal in football/rugby is pure gold, spectating a goal in basket/handball/hockey/insertyourshittysporthere is MEH.
You ever been to an icehockey match, played the game or even watched it on tv?
I assume you have not. Therefore your opinions mean fuck all to me. Been to matches in both sport, watched them and played them myself. Football is a no go.
I've a title for you already: Neo "I'm best friends with TaZ because we play LoL together"
NO.
come back when CSGO reaches 75K spectators after 9 years of excistance(?). Can't exactly remember what ESWC it was.

Btw, ppl who likes 1.6 over GO (random first game over GO) likes it cos of the same reason they think his mum's food is the best in the world.
but i'm never gonna say that cs:go is better than 1.6 , cuz it's not.
1) you can use the filter options
2) you can die hard on pubs
3) you can finnaly open your minds and start playing CS:GO or promod
These people can't own a 700mb game after all these years so i understand that they are afraid of change.
AdreN's status changed, thats why he prefers GO
There is also a bunch of different tricks and new things to learn which makes it more exciting. This game is also the most attractive CS version for new players.

He's nobody? Ok mates!
From what I can see they don't look that impressive
You can move as in 1.6. Russiaduck and so on, everything you old Legends want.
You can shot as in 1.6.
You throw nades as in 1.6
You have 1.6 Maps ported on a wonderful crisp looking Engine. Graphics which look so crisp on colorful on high and stable running Settings that CSGO looks like a HD Console Call of Duty Modern Warefare Footage compared to it.
CS Pro Mod would be the real Future if it gets its earned Chance.
CSGO is just a out of the Sleeves shaked Project for Valve, with a 30 Percent Effort which was never focused to accomplish the old Principles and Mechanics of CS for real.
You will be the dumb not to realise it.
CSGO is just played right now because it's in. But it will die exactly out of sudden as CSS did now.
CS 1.6 has still more Players than both and CS Pro Mod has everything to accomplish those old Values on a new Engine.
CSGO looks like shit, the Weapons sound like Toyshit, Movement is not counter strike comparable for real and is a clear Downgrade compared to CS Pro mod.
Some of you Guys better get over it, that CSGO was never planed to be the future and never will be for real. Even Valve always saw it as a Major Update for Source without the Plan to accomplish anything.
It's just a Snack and that's it.

a TON of the professional cs:go players dislike the game and play way more dota2 for example, some of whom would completely surprise you but i won't list names here out of respect.
there was plenty of stuff they did even with booths at e3 etc, and flying the cs:s players to seattle was also a pure marketing move so you could count that in ^^
Seriously, here in the UK, the total advertising was as follows.
Valve announced they were making the game, did a few interviews. (Free, same as CSP)
Hosted 1-2 show matches at Lan events. (Not so free, maybe 9K max, nothing stopping CSP doing the same)
Made a trailer they couldn't be bothered posting on facebook (Free/Cheap)
Half assedly advertised on steam (Slightly more expensive for CSP, however not really that expensive.)
I'm not seeing this 'millions' people keep talking about. If CSP can't match that level of advertising, then CSP is screwed.
I tried CSGO and did not like it but will most likely buy it as soon as I upgrade my PC.
I love both CSS and CS 1.6 but CSP seriously sucks. Not only it takes 10 years to develop (I have been following it since 2008) but for whatever reason they decided to import even EVERY bug from 1.6.
So you can crouch run in the game and therefore make it unappealing to EVERYONE new (only people who are OK w/ it are those who have gotten used to, remember when I played 1.6 I always got angry comments in mixes for crouch running = so even most 1.6 players hate it)
Not forgetting HE that kill you through the wall, retarded grenade physics of course.
There is a bigger chance for 1.6 to make a comeback than for CSP to make it. (note that CSP is for free and still nobody plays it)
I have never seen any advertisement for either 1.6, Source or GO so probably that is not the reason.
Post edited 2013-01-01 14:42:05
no one knows of csp yet so it isn't popular, just wait :)
ps. you think every video game store, steam etc didn't advertise cs:go a fuck ton when it was coming out? yeah right
adren's whole career started from cs:s so i don't see how it's surprising he could like cs:go.
God you are such a retard man.

Everybody knows that the 1.6 gameplay is better than the csgo one. BUT, VALVE is updating the game every month and they already said they will update the recoil and the movement. So the game might get better than 1.6?
CSP wont survive when csgo is getting updated every month when csp has almost the same EVERYTHING that 1.6 has and source graphics.
if i wanted to play/watch something in black and white (which cs:go is) i'd just put in the blu-ray of 12 angry men.

You can prefer either one, but your black and white comment definitely seems like thrash talk to me. Not very professional in my opinion.
the lower picture is not (i repeat: NOT) from counter-strike 1.6, but source.
cs:go is all grey. we could call it the grey offensive.
Well everyone knows how 1.6 looks. I was more concerned about lurppis black & white version of CS:GO.
It's clearly an exaggeration and i was wondering why he does that. There must be a reason.
You're such a two-faced person it's unbelievable. I'm surprised how you can write articles about csgo without wanting to cut your own fingers off.
I'm just glad, like you are I'm sure, that your pro gaming career ends with 1.6. There are too few honest ppl in the community nowadays.
LOL. You're so genius, Lurp.
really? cmon.

CSGO doesn't only help you with your income, it also help hltv.org a lot. Without CSGO, what would be hltv now, if not a corpse like CS1.6?
So why not say something nice about GO at least once?
i'm not gonna compliment a game i don't like just because it helps me or a company i work for; it doesn't change how i feel about the game.
And you dont need to promote anything you dont like, just leave it alone to be fair.
everyone else gets to comment, why don't i?
You're so delusional. I've followed pro-scene 4 or 5 years, long enough to see that it had been dying. Good players retired, team disbanded, not many new young players came, less tournaments, less money, less spectators day after day. Even cArn said that 2012 would be the last year of cs 1.6. And that's true.
CSGO came out to the scene because no sponsor/spectator cares about 1.6 anymore, not because CSGO killed it. CS 1.6 died by itself because it was old. CSGO is young and has the chance, just like your CSPromod game you always cheer for.
You have the rights to say anything, but you don't have to so bias cocky about it, you don't have to repeat your opinions hundred times. That's annoying. You're an admin after all.

if cs:go wasn't announced in 2011 (which is why carn said 2012 would be cs 1.6's last year) the scene would have never started getting smaller, at least not anytime this soon. it might not grow bigger, but why would it have to?
It's really hard for me to arguing with a smart bias ass like you, Lurp. But I've already said what I need to say.
Btw, thanks for the sheep in esport that keep this site alive. Amen.
ps. i understand reading comprehension isn't one of your strong suits (if there are any) but i was referring to event organizers who decide which games are played. they are the ones who decide, not fans who keep this site alive.
Just because some new game released, CS 1.6 had to be dropped? It sounds like just because new baby was born, the others should be abandoned.
You just insult how 'amazing' CS 1.6 was doing, lol. A good doing great esport game 1.6 was DROPPED because of a BAD game still in beta? What a logic here, xD. So no esport game is safe to play now? :D You dont have to be funny that much, do you?
I say it again, 1.6 was dropped because it didn't attract any more new gamers/spectators/sponsor etc. Those things is required for an esport game. If a game dont have it (anymore), it will be dropped. It's the fault of the game itself, not organization's. They think only about spending money efficiently. Nothing wrong about it.
And Yes, agree, org decided what is the right game to play. But the fans are who keep this site alive. Example, why did Gotfrag die?
This site is very much alive thanks a lot to fanboys always flame here. Get my point yet?
Look, what special does hltv.org have these days? That is CSGO><1.6 war, with thousands comments and topics. Get my point yet?
How to make the site have a lot of views, users? Easy, keep being bias, and keep/make/ignore the flame wars to happen. Everyone has some fun of playing war. :D
p.s: it's good to have argument with you.
gotfrag died because mlg cut all of their money from cs and made them only cover games in mlg, that had ***NOTHING*** to do with fans. nice try.
However, it turned out that CSGO isn't better than CS1.6 but only a different game. But surprisingly (or not), CS1.6 wont come back as a esport title again, that fact just proves how old-dying game 1.6 is.Maybe that's why you cheer for CSPromod instead, that's why I'm trying to protect CSGO for its fairness here.
They (Gotfrag) probably wouldn't have cut anything off if it still was supported by fans. That's how economic runs. You have fans, you have ads/sponsor, then you have money.
it doesn't matter when cs:go was released if tournaments were going to switch, but the fact that it was released and iem dropped 1.6 killed 1.6. that's a fact, everyone followed it.
of course i cheer for promod because i think it's good, it's what reasonable people think -- support their beliefs. most people here on the other hand are drinking the "if cs:go doesn't succeed fps genre will die!!!1111"-koolaid which is a joke. who gives a shit about the fps genre?
you just don't get it...
the people who ran gotfrag sold it to mlg for millions. they all left the site, and mlg had no people who knew anything about cs and no interest to cover cs. gotfrag went from a huge popular site to non existant basically overnight. people like you just think the site was alive after it was sold, which it wasn't.
WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU COMMENTING IN EVERY FUCKING CS:GO THREAD IF YOU DON'T PLAY THE GAME?
You see, I don't play 1.6 anymore, I stay out of 1.6 threads. I don't play Cod and think the game is trash, yet I don't feel the urge to talk about it in every thread.
I understand that you're butt hurt that your game died, partially because of GO, mostly because it was on its way out anyway. However you are left with three choices.
1: Stop being a little bitch, and just keep playing 1.6
2: Stop being a little bitch, and leave FPS in general
3: Stop being a little bitch, and join go with all its advantages and flaws.
Either way, the mature way forwards is to STOP BEING A LITTLE BITCH AND STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT A GAME YOU DON'T PLAY!
Here's the thing. I was (probably) wrong about my theory. However your bullshit use of 'correlation does not imply causation' did nothing to further that. That saying is one of the most misused arguments in the entire of statistics, and in itself means NOTHING. The entire of science is based on the fact that we observe correlations, and assign causations to them. The 'correlation does not imply causation' is the basis for counter arguments involving generally a 3rd variable. However it in itself is not an argument, as if it was so, you could use it to disprove every known scientific fact in the universe.
Do you know who proved my theory wrong? I did. I was the one to originally do the study to see if I was right, rather then simply accepting my opinions as fact. I was the one to share my findings to see if anyone could find any issues with it. I was the one who accepted certain ideas, and then did a secondary study. I was the one, who when presented with data that didn't fit my theory, changed my opinion.
When was the last time you did that? When was the last time you changed an opinion due to evidence or argument provided by others? Judging on your posting quality, your blatant disregard for actual stats, and your fanatical fanboyism is regards to your ideas, I'd say somewhere between Never, and the amount of copies of HL3 currently sold.
Was my theory wrong? Yes (probably). Is that a bad thing. No. Does the fact that unlike you I'm willing to accept and change my opinions when presented with new evidence that I actively seek out mean that my little finger is more of a man than you? Yes.
you might have had to go through all that work to understand your shitty theory had no basis but since i actually have an iq higher than your 50 it was obvious to me your theory was shit the second i read it.
And I have to wonder what powers your IQ of 51 gave you to be able to deuce that this was obviously wrong (Which again, the data doesn't 100% disprove it). Did you have access to a dataset of 10K+ individuals that I didn't, some kind of survey that was done? Or some mathematical or scientific law of physics that decrees that people of lower economic power will have the same or better technology as those with higher economic spending power.
No. Your entire reasoning can be summarized as 'LOLOLOLOOL CS:GO BEDZZZZZZZ SAUCERZ. 1.6 CSP BEST CS:GO BED DEADREDSADIFHAISDLHGF', promptly followed by your carer coming to wipe the dribble up.
The fact is you're a has been, a very sad angry man being left behind the times, unwilling to move onto another scene to get your ass kicked by Get_Right and Forest in yet another game. Yet so unhappy and unfulfilled in the knowledge that you'll never get another 8th place finisher, that you spend all your time barging into discussions about another game you don't play, a pathetic cry for help screaming 'Look at me, I'm still relevant, honestly!'. And frankly, I feel pity for you.
if i wanted to be good at cs:go i would, it's just not a fun game to play so i'd rather do any one of them 1000 things that are more enjoyable :)
you sound mad ;)
ps. i "quit" cs months before cs:go came out
He played only in countries like ukraine and russian.
so nothing huge.
Probably valve pays for ESL and NiP etc.
when heaton joined nip again 2012,he started saying CS:GO is best and bigger than 1.6 ever was.
ESL pays Joe Miller to say cs:go is better than 1.6.
I exactly remember the words of a Valve Leader exactly explaining what the Reason for CSGO is.
If you followed those things and the Dev-Steps with GO you know what's going on.
Man Jesus, I would love it to got the best CS of all times with CSGO also, but it's miles aways from that Goal and was never planed to please the old CS Base. And it's not my or your Guys Job to talk everything good if it's not.
And if you are really convinced with CSGO you just need my or many others Perpective to see things different.
Yeah but Adren is ok, he can say what he wants. Not a big Deal to me.

adren just said that because finally got picked by a good team. If he was picked by a good pinball online team he would said the same..
lol.sellout
In hltv.org, if you say you like cs:go, you are:
a. A fucking sellout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
b. Getting payed by Valve by saying so
c. Wrong
d. A seahorse
e. All the above
Hltv.org forums... A place where opinions and common sense goes to die.
You cant tell little children the sky is pink, they will promptly argue that its in fact blue.
and thats what happen when anybody say csgo is a better game than 1.6 , it may be true in Daurens world, but not in the real one.
Haha just have to laugh really, how funny it is.
Look at that Game Folks. XD

Just cuz they almost went to the top when they played against ESC AdreN is saying CS : GO is better.

Can you Guys imagine what will happen to the Future of Counter Strike if it will stay in the same wrong Lead of Valve and Gooseman and Cliff or Persons with real CS Knowledge won't get a Lead Development Position for Counter Strike 2, what's still planed for the far Future?
Seriously, I am not here to just doing senseless trashtalk, but if you look at the CS History, from CS1.6, to CS:CZ, to CSS, to CS:GO you see it's getting rather worse and worse than better.
And a Person who isn't convinced anymore becuase of some Aspects or never really was, has the right to make his Point clear so long he has some Flavour in the Pocket.
Sure, I mean it's pretty save that those Valve Guys, will Guarantee us their way of Counter Strike Future. But what we should ask as Gamers with a real competitive claim is: Is that how the Future of Counter Strike should be and stay?
Counter Strike, the modern Call of Duty Main Stream Franchise of tomorrow?
Think about it young warrior and chose the Path of Glory. XD

I don't know what you're smoking, but can I have some?
What we have seen is definitely a step in the right direction. Developers attending LAN's. Weekly contact with Pro Players to make the game better.
CS:GO's death will start anytime soon.
Hopefully CSP developers will find a way to attract more people to the game, at the moment the only ones that are playing CSP are those who really believe that if a game can replace 1.6 it's not CS:GO.
Infact I propose AdreN be named the first patron saint of counter strike global offensive

Stop thinking about what he said,hes just guy who doesn't matter in this scene.
/facepalm
What the fuck is wrong with you. 'Who the fuck is AdreN?' 'You lost supporters' 'fucking saucer'
He has done more for the scene in both css and 1.6 than any of you randoms. That's one persons opinion and you get together like a witch-hunt back in the 1500's and tries to slay him with retarded third world english comments.
Grow up guys, really.
On topic: huehue
Same with Na'Vi, and most of the teams that came from 1.6

cs:go ~~~~ 24k players
csp ~~~~ 100 players
the fact is sad how csp goes hard on and releases public once they seen cs:go start doing well and take major teams in tournies. where were you 4 years ago when we needed you we dont want you anymore go away like its like a anoying bug like a house fly
You think they should give up their dream just because Valve releases a shit game?
Have a little respect, they aren't getting paid for trying to deliver us a better game than CS:GO.
have little respect he says
med cuz csp is ded
med?

And they as game developers deserve abuse from the players of other games?
Now if you could perma ban all the CS:GO haters, then we can talk about playing the 'who deserves abuse card', as lets face it, 1.6 fanboys (Which hltv never seem to get around to perma banning) are the ones who started this shitty community before GO even came around.

Both games are played a lot...and fun, but both games are at a different level when it comes to be a competitive sport.
I bet if CS:GO wasn't named counter-strike and had a completely different setting so it doesn't get put into 1 corner with cs ... numbers would be low as fuck.
I liked what he said at 5:49.
Ive played actively since 2003. But I guess 1.6 is more fun if you only played it for one or two years

Sure he attended a lot of events, won a few, but what did he win? You can be proud of many titles, but those aren't some of them.
Where's your top 8 WCG finisher?
Also this has nothing to do with me and what I've attended / won etc., since I'm not a player. But please Bainshie, go ahead and compare it to a decent player who actually won something that matters, then you'll see it's not that impressive. Not at all.
I've seen interviews on ESWC and watched games. It was horrible to watch when VG obliterated ESC with nothing more than molotovs, then game changed, late adopters (like ESC) started to pick up the pace and it's much more enjoyable to watch and play GO.
He got asked the question, so he answered :)

He take box of cream and make liquid of two animals same size.
in that case his opinion mean nothing
The best reason for a flame-war is to publish a player's opinion about comparing two different version of CS.
What is the journal value if this interview? He likes CS:GO better than 1.6? Okay, and?
HLTV, get some quality, currently you are going down...
find another game
dont waste time about go and tournamens
If u want know what Adren means there try to play more then month and turn back to 1.6 and then u can feel diff.
If this is not an obvious troll/flameware bait, I don't know what is. If the crew itself encourages this kind of thing you've fallen pretty low.
