Being as hardcore as I am, I realised the August 2003 edition of PCGamer was released on this fine day. In this months "online section/letters from the front line" it features a letter from Novotny, who is, and I quote, "the organiser of one of the UK's major Counter-Strike Ladders." In case like me you have no idea who he is, he's connected with EnemyDown. The article features an interview with long standing ED big boys Choke, delivered from UKT favourite, MaT. In the article MaT goes into the detail of how Choke managed such a fine and well respected position:
We scaled the ladder quickly mainly due to a good 23-1 win over HH and a 16-8 victory over a strong Snipers Alley team. After a few more good hard fought wars with AnTs, HH and Kru.lt, the game that stands out the most was indeed our best game by far: we beat Team letters 20-4.
...
You don't get to the top without being able to make your own luck.
So true MaT, I hear life's tough at the top as well. Apart from that obviously exciting piece, there's also a picture of the new knife model being used in what I can only presume is 1.6, while Halflife 2 and CS:CZ appear in the "latest on" section. I highly advise you part with your hard earned cash for this one, it's worth it.

and I didn't ever write that last line btw "You don't get to the top without being able to make your own luck.". That was artistic license on their behalf.
I didn't realise it was gonna get a whole page in PC Gamer. I was asked to comment on a few games, so I did and left them to it. It's a nice thing to happen though despite the odd negative comments that I've been receiving for it. There are 5 times more people that have been congratulating us and that's refreshing.

No "BaL" 'clearly' your wrong. I'm a long time reader of pcgamer as I'm sure others are, what got me laughing is 4K have appeared in it before, but never more than a sentence or a small coloum like "best at". The part of the magazine is dedicated to online games and gaming, but the fact ED featured for 3/4 of a page really made me realise that they really didnt know alot about what they were printing. My story was 'tongue in cheek' because of that, and the fact it made me laugh.
Hands together for ED though, they sold themselves quite nicely and to the other readers that dont play or follow CS i'm sure the fact ED "has attracted hundreds of teams including FCC,SO19,RONIN, SCEE, SODA and Choke" will be very impressive.
No offence to these teams or ED really they do the best they can and they scored big time with a near whole page article in a major gaming magazine, but the fact is they could have featured somethign decent in this section! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
