DoP Counter-Strike Tournament

Posted by Fluke at 12:15 5/8/2002.

Top American clan, Domain of Pain, have started up their very own 1 vs. 1 Counter-Strike tournament and is now accepting registrations. There's a limit of 32 players and the registration fee is $20 USD per player, payable only through PayPal. The cash prizes will be distributed as follows (assuming 32 players sign up):
1st - $250
2nd - $120
3rd - $80
4th - $40
5th - $20
The tournament will start out as a round robin with groups of four, so everyone is guranteed at least three matches. After the round robin one person will advance from each group to enter into double elimination rounds for the remainder of the tournament. The tournament is scheduled to start at 12:00PM (noon) CST on Sunday, August 11 and finish on the same day. More information can be found here.

how is it pathetic?
not gonna be hard to admin a 1v1, if some unknown person wins it then its gonna raise suspicions, its also an easy way for them to raise funds for themselves, seems pretty smart to me. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

their giving the majority of what they raised back in prize money, online you have ping differences, configs, and hacks, cs isnt a game designed for 1v1s, and 1v1s in cs are pointless, thats why its PATHETIC. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

they get $150 for doin little work, i wudnt say no. Ppl who say its pathetic need not apply and if u were 1 of the ppl that had a chance to win 250 i doubt ud say its pathetic either.

its just the concept of the whole thing, the money making idea is pretty good, but it would be daft to enter..imo [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I don't know, I think it could be lots of fun, just get a WWCSL enforcer yokie and insist everyone admins, its not that hard.
/me wonders how he would go about setting up a paypal a/c to be paid into..... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

not really..also PHB, config enforced is fair enough, what about ppl who use soundpacks where the noise which is made when ur shot, changes to a scream, which can be hear around the whole map, which can give players a MASSIVE advantage, how can u police things like that?

hate to say it, but i agree with iron.

this is why i play q3, its a far better 1v1 game.

if i really wanted the money i could just hax my config to s***, and install loads of dodgy stuff. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

You can enforce default models and sounds through a HL cmd as I remember.

Also you seem to be making an argument againist online cheating as a whole, personally if I ran a league I would insist that every single team member opens up their PC to a FTP or whathave search before the game starts.

Basically you have to make it so much effort for the cheats to work for the cheater that they wouldn't care anymore [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

cs isnt a 1v1 game, and since theres no monsy settings i can see in the cfg, whovoer wins the pistols is gunna have a massive advantage. the maps look decent tho, makes a change from feighters which imo tells you nothing about aim, just about who's spent the most time on it ;) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

CS isn't totally 1v1's but it sure has a lot to do with how good you are at the game. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
