Barcodes win i15

Posted by Dev at 11:58 17/3/2003.

For many UK gamers this weekend the main focus of attention was not CPL Cannes 2003 but the latest in the 'Insomnia' LAN series 'i15'. This time the event was huge and it was the first LAN event to break the 1,000 participants mark with a total of 1,095 people attending. This huge number of gamers battled over the weekend on a number of different games but of course the one that matters to us is Counter-Strike. For many the 'Insomnia' LAN series has lost its appeal and is not as 'serious' as it once was, gone are the days where 4K would attend and wipe the floor with everyone. The memories of the SLDR vs. 4K final at i7 are distant. However the event still manages to attract gamers in there hundreds and the amateur and pro Counter-Strike tournaments are still contested strongly.

Last time round at i14 you may remember Barcodes took the title after a good final against Disturbed and they were back again to retain their title. They did not disappoint, Barcodes (Big-G, A_BeAsT, b33p, DuGsta, Droneboy) took the i15 tournament after a very close match in the final vs. erm (Bom, Monst, StoppA, Fox, kA). The match was played on de_aztec where the score finished 12-12 forcing them to play de_inferno where Barcodes came out on top 13-9. A truly excellent game with some brilliant moments, Fox's terrorist pistol round on Aztec just to name one. You can download the HLTV of both maps here courtesy of Rav0r. Congratulations then goes to Barcodes who managed to retain their title. Here is a short list of some other clans who attended the event and played in the 'pro' tournament:

12:20 17/3/2003		 mr 9 with 4 minute rounds ("to save time") instead of mr 12 with 3 minute rounds...

oh wait what does 4x9 and 3x12 equal! yes they both equal 36, exactly the same thing!

added to the 200 LAN-tastic ping and bein expected to play a non-cpl map, prodigy, for both our group games makes for some tip-toppin fun :D [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

12:32 17/3/2003		 exactly, it has lost its serious edge now, its a fun event where people go to socialise, yes there are competitions but there mainly designed so people can ahve a game of counter-strike with there clan. It isnt the CPL. Like dan said, if they got bigger prizes and made the effort to run the 'pro' tourny more smoothly i am sure more clans would come. But 1095 attendess isnt bad, they must be doing something right. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

13:09 17/3/2003		 nothing

the first event was run by Wireplay/Gameplay, and they called it insomnia 99, [i1] they then bought the rights to to the name insomnia, so they just call it iwoteva, cos insomnia = owned by gameplay, and they dont work with them any more [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

13:49 17/3/2003		 To many people are letting the CPL dictate how CS should or should not be played. They are simply one organisation who happen to have the most money. Simply because they no longer have Prodigy in the map list is not an excuse for everyone worldwide to drop it. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Too many tournaments dropped it because the CPL did, and it is such a pity.

There was no real reason for u guys to stop playing it though [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
