from the outside looking in, it seems to be the best run event i have seen, in terms of coverage and stuff, maybe the hltv fiasco was a bit off for a while, but it seemed to work in the end. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Shame we were robbed of the SK Team9 final.

Final was rather 1 sided.

I still do believe SK is a better team than zex, but anything can happen on 1 map. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

wp 4K and team9. possibly the best run tournament ive seen for a while, maybe Myers picked up a few things while he was over there to help the UKT Lans run a bit more smoothly. 4K put in a quality performance and deserved their 5th place or maybe even better. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

pld team9,shame about sk they are like the Man U of the cs world they are the better team but lots of people like to see them lose ;P

Well done 4k 5th is a good placing but i personaly think they played far below their standard and could of and should of gone further but nm.( roll on Dark) o/

Player of the tourney was Vesslan for me hes got skill but hes like the most intelligent player there is out there tbh. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

If cpl or wcg really want to push to make gaming into a sport, then the type of media coverage provided by the realplayer streaming with the commentary, views of players and the screens, heart monitors etc is definitely the way to go. Over the coming few tournaments we should see that adopted as a standard, made the tournament so much more enjoyable for people following [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

yeah the video stream was excellent. The commentators were very good and made it very interesting even for then non cs tournaments. Hope to see more of video streaming for future LANs because it is a step forward to maybe going on TV. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I hope other tournaments wont be adopting the arene program because it wouldnt work at all for me. I asked one of the help people and he said 30 people out of everyone who had watched had the same problem but they didnt know how to fix it. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i only bothered to set up arene for the final, and it took about 2 minutes until i was in the hltv server, i really dont see how it was so hard... i assume lots of ppl entered their custom password instead of the emailed password, hence getting a password error. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

good thing zex didnt win. i wouldnt beable to stand hear the yanks boasting they the best in cs, i mean seeying the parade they pulled off after beating sk. too bad mtw didnt win. they were my favs :x

did any of you listen to the french video feed when the english went down, and team.9 got an eco win. they were going bezerk, screaming on the mic, was so funny. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Arene wasnt just made for the HLTV, its been around for ages, they provide servers on demand for games, i think it was just the sheer amount of users on the arene network that made it go slow, i never had problems with crashing but i did have problems with like 3 minute lag when connecting to a HLTV

lol bet the [9] cafe is pleased, a good cash injection for them no doubt.

as greg said earlier, SK are the better team over zEx, but train is zEx's best map by far, so it was a shame to get such an awful final

i dont think 9 are the best in the world though, not by a long way.

its all up in the air atm

best event i've seen for a long time, coverage was awesome, HLTV for nearly every game, and you rarely saw any players crash, except Shadow (4 times) in the Eq - 4K game. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
