Outsider's View Of CS

Posted by Myers at 22:22 27/7/2003.

For those of you without anything better to do on a Sunday night, most likely unemployed or the Freelance Web Designer's amongst you, might wish to read an article in the Houston Press.

The article is written by Jennifer Mathieu who follows american side, Team-Forsaken, at the Austin CPL Qualifiers. Jennifer approaches gaming purely from an outsiders view and focuses largely upon LAN gaming culture.

Funk's playing is especially off, and his teammates excoriate him loudly as he makes excuses. The boys, who moments ago were joking with one another, are now very pissed at each other and their playing.
ExS, on the other hand, is running smoothly, as if their five bodies were sharing one brain.

"Come on, guys, we can do this," says one ExS member, and they quickly rack up round after round until they win the match 13 to 3. Now they just need to win more match and they'll take the whole tournament.

I recommend you give it a read.

"Anybody have a smoke?" yells 17-year-old David Jones from Conroe, clicking away.

"No time to smoke," answers Stuart Holden, also 17.

Being a clutch player means coming through at the most important times, when everything hangs in the balance. You hear it a lot in American sports, especially in basketball, for example Michael Jordan was reknowned as a clutch player for all the important last-gasp do-or-die shots he successfully made in his career. Someone who can handle the pressure and make that important shot/frag when it most counts. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

In all their self-consciousness, the members of Team
Forsaken seem to realize that there are only a few precious years in your life when society will allow you to humiliate your friends publicly, shake your ass in other people's faces, wear baseball caps at all times and play video games for hours on end. They seem to understand that the time for these things is now, and that soon -- for better or for worse -- it will be time to move on.

f*** no one told me :(

Good Read :D [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
