Once again, we have been swamped with news submissions, so get ready for the post of the century!

• As I'm sure many of you will have heard, a bug has been uncovered on the new version of de_cbble. The fault means you are able to plant the bomb in an un-defusable place in the CT Spawn bomb point. A demo has appeared, courtesy of clan-calibre.

  As well as the planting issues, it seems de_cbble has undergone more game-play changes than first expected. These include a new room, a darker tunnel and an extra crate. CS-Extreme have done a review of this, which can be found here.

• ESReality.com have caught up with 3 members from the top three UK clans. The interview manly concentrates on the WCG tournament, both the UK qualifiers and, in 4-Kings' case, the Korea finals. The three CS players interviewed were 4K^Wr!ght, omg!TeppuM and ONE|Keiju.

  Here's a snippet from the Wr!ght interview:

  You'll be heading off to Korea in October and also Paris, how much will the team be practising and will it be the same team - or will legendary schumi be joining in practises?

  lol, how do u know the "legendary" schumi? Ah ye, He's coming to my house in the next 6 hours. I'll tell him he's a legend, he'll love u, but no he won’t be playing sadly.

  The team will be the same 5 that played in the qualifiers, there’s no reason to change it. Despite our begging, schumi just wont join.

  The article is in two parts, part 1 are the above interviews, as well as some conversations with well known faces from other games, and part 2 features even more interviews, this time with our very own Myers among others.

• Mike, of CS Sprites, has made a handy guide for all you Counter-Tweakers. The article, which includes useful screenshots for clarity, shows you exactly how to install your custom sprites on the the newly released CS 1.6. Good stuff!
• As if all these interviews aren't enough for you, amarc caught up with 4K member Harriman at the recent i17 event.

  A few ex-4K members recently formed a clan with the old infinity-eSports name. (i-eS was the name of the 4K CS squad players when they split from the 4K clan to play on their own in 2002, before rejoining the 4K team early this year). What is your opinion on this?

  Its pretty bad they called themselves i-eS, I think it was to try and annoy us but it didn't really work. They have got a really good team, I am sure they will be UK #2 if they put in the work, and stick at it but it will be hard to beat the new clan ONE.

  Check it out!
• The next generation of the freeware game server browser has been released to the public in alpha form, following 5 months in development. This release adds STEAM support and STEAM master server browsing, so you don't have to use the in-game server browser anymore.

  More details can be found right here.

• Tazzle has very kindly made a CPL GUI menu for CS 1.6. You can find this and an updated titles.txt (restores proper gun names) right here.
• Finally, as we reach the end of this monster update, I thought I would update you on the latest titles posted in our columns section. The first one was a preview of the CSGN league season 2, by deebo.

  The next column to catch my eye was a piece by PFCalcio on how he believes 4Ks dominance of UK CS isn't such a bad thing. Lastly, phear^ managed to catch up with ONE|Keiju for a pretty interesting interview.

Now that that's out the way, I can get back to watching STEAM crash over and over again. Yay!
