	Smittins 00:22 9/12/2002	did they include the question "Why have u turned the competition into a farce and included this custom 'map' ?" [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	DooMeh Lite 00:31 9/12/2002	also, there is more prize money for the rtcw tourny? why is this considering the cs side is much more popular and will command a much bigger audience [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Myers Saviour of UKT UKTerrorist 00:55 9/12/2002	u guys skim over the part that said it's 2 halves of 7 rounds? :) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Fox ClanNEW 00:57 9/12/2002	still a joke to use it for every game tho, as it stands it would be passable as a lower bracket map, i dont understand the MR7 either 8 teams = 7 matches single elimination 7 MR12 matches in 6 hours can't be too hard to fit in on LAN, depending on the size of the gaming area # of pc's etc they should be able to make it double elim mr12 [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Dr_Evil` 01:03 9/12/2002	The Games Domain comp was supposed to use a custom map at the lan finals but that never happened. Id think they will back down if all the clan leaders of the clans going get together and advise them that its not a wise move to include custom maps for tourneys unless they are the CPL ones. However if people just flame and moan they are going to wonder why they even bothered. GL & HF all the clans that will be there. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	shads theb0g 03:04 9/12/2002	The Intel Masters Gaming Championship is Intel's contribution to the UK gaming scene. what, take the p* out of how bad it is? We are staging the event to showcase the excitement of gaming to the wider audience it deserves. the excitement of watching the same s* map over and over for how many games and how a s*** map can turn cs into a load of boring crap with little skill/fun and entice many new players to play the game even though they'll a) never even play that map even if they do like it because its not in the cs download and its too crap for people to WANT on thier servers and b) they'll be mesmorised at how completely boring and unskillful the map makes cs Gaming is a spectator sport that is worthy of mass attention on a large scale and this is why we have chosen the Science Museum to host the event. lol no matter where it was hosted with those maps and such a fun mr7 tourney it'll be worthy of a lot of NEGATIVE mass attention and that's about it [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Chris0 03:15 9/12/2002	If map and rules stay as they are, will all the clans still go? most likely :) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Obi Clan ONE 03:29 9/12/2002	yes we'll go, but intel can expect some bad press for this farce of a competition [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	shads theb0g 03:38 9/12/2002	chris0 the only reason the clans are still going is the amount of money up for grabs, and the fact that even coming last u practically get most of ur travel money back theyre not coming for the tournament, competition, or lan practice like everyone does cpl/wcg and other more local lans, it'll be purely because of the amount of money, if it was like the same as cpl qualis with only the winning clan getting like a £100worth prize each then i doubt people would still go at all [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	shads theb0g 03:45 9/12/2002	if the tournament does turn out with good press (note not the players saying its good but comes out with greater media awareness etc than cpl/wcg, and that then takes off) then it'll be the worst thing ever for gaming in the UK, as it'll prove that 1 idiot with a big wallet can dictate how "pro-gaming" will turn out... ie nothing like the game we currently play and it'll be changed 50 times over every lan to suit 1 idiots wad of cash who doesnt even play or care about the game. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	shads theb0g 04:03 9/12/2002	[rantforobi] and 1 more thing i really dont get, is the people in #intelmasters said they were using a custom map based on the science museum so that it would attract new people to the game by them being able to relate to the map so, you want to attract people to the game by making them watch a map that a) wont even be in cs if they buy it and b) theyre not there to see (they want to go to watch cs at its best with the best teams, not to have a guided tour around the museum in 3d with a few guns going off here and there) c) is a 1 off map anyway, so they'll more than likely never see the map again in an online server or another competition so lose the relation completely after this 1 tournament d) is prolly the most boring map ever and DEFINATELY a hella lot more boring than any official maps u're also losing half of what "pro" cs should be about, planned out and practiced tactics, months of working on teamwork, ages of developing strategical tricks on familiar maps, people knowing exactly what they're doing instead of running around a map like a headless chicken (and a £5er says that'll happen enough times if the bomb is ever planted on this map - taking out the essence of being able to fight back once the bomb is down less tension garuanteed win once the bomb is down and a lot more boring to watch) ure calling the event the "uk masters" or whatever, yet what ure actually doing is taking away 90% of what these teams play cs for and practice at high levels for. people who play top level cs say that aim counts for like 10-15% of the game at that level and the rest is down to teamplay/tactics/strategies/map tricks, well those are out the window so what next yes u could practice the map for 2 weeks.... but the map isnt even finished when it was meant to be 3 days ago, especially when the mapper is changing spawn locations and bomb sites i mean those are the 2 most crucial parts to a map's tactics. and back to the map... how f*ing easy will it be for a last man to just camp... just about ANYWHERE on the map and never be found, u think thats gonna make for exciting watching? the map is just the satan spawn of anywhere near pro-level cs, so what the f* are intel actually trying to show people about pro-gaming when they're stripping it of everything it's worth.

	dave 08:01 9/12/2002	if all 8/16 clans were to just say we're boycotting unless a wcg/cpl mapcycle is used, you would be saving our sport and they would probably back down anyway. but if everyone turns up and licks intel's bum, its the 2nd phase to eSports being turned into corporate driven, rather than player/team driven which is what it should be. clans speak to each other please :/ /dave [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	dave 08:05 9/12/2002	take out all the nasty words and use proper english and send shads long thing off very good [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	nerf Clan ONE 09:28 9/12/2002	a custom map used for every round single elim? and mr7 Nice one Intel! You've taken a potentially great LAN tourney and turned it into a complete farce. They might as well have decided to play All Rounds Count 7v7 on cs_siege. With the rules they've chosen they've managed to rip out everything good about cs. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	shotti theb0g 09:33 9/12/2002	from what i gather it isnt a range of custom maps its just 1 map the whole tourny? sounds a bit of a farce [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	d0ly 10:28 9/12/2002	lol thats a joke. btw 7v7 on siege is fun and they shud include it in cpl ^^ o and xenon is gonna catch bare jokes and probably think that's what uk tourneys are like all the time.. also does the guy designing the map even play cs? [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	d0ly 10:33 9/12/2002	[quote] Will there be config limitations? Yes, these will be released soon. [/quote] i bet is this gonna be like cpl cfg but with the buy menu and crosshair disabled or something dumb like that judging by the way this tourney is going [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Ripper Rush! 11:15 9/12/2002	seriously tho, i managed to win a few rounds in ecsl by hiding with the hostages in the wooden water bit on militia - a map most people know there way around. Imagine de_sciencef*ings*hole in a 3 minute round, there's gonna be a lot of rounds timed out. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	FELLA 11:16 9/12/2002	Is it just CS having custom map(s) or RTCW, FIFA, WC3 as well ? Is FIFA going to have like a 5-a-side kickabout on a custom pitch set inside a museum ? If it's just CS that's getting this custom game s*** then I agree on teams boycotting the tourney ... someone raised a good point ... are I-es going to be allowed to wear their AMD sponsored T-shirts ... oooh handbags.

What more could you ask for? MOANERS JUST LOOK WHAT U CAN WIN, f***in losers!!!! ps. bring me back a ring i will write SUPARBOWEL WINNAR 2003 on it!!!! [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	NoToRiOuS 2 COOL 4 SKOOL UKTerrorist 11:40 9/12/2002	Yadda yadda: Myers, Rippers + my feelings have nothing to do with the non UKT envolvement in the Intel Masters. However i assure u had we had input we would strongly advise against mr7 and de_science(sp?) and single elim. Its just not fun for the spectators. You cant even eco really after losing the pistol round. MR12 is bad enough as it is, cuz when u lose both pistols u have lost 6 rounds already... IMO i believe a MR15 system would be a lot better. And i think CPL should follow me ^_^ [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Righteous- 13:09 9/12/2002	to add to the crap map, s***ty mr7 rule, i think you have to use the mouse mats they provide ( everglide giganta ones i think) and thier headphones... ok for me as headphones dont really matter and i use everglide mouse mat anyway, but for most gamers mouse mat is a vitual thing. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Geordie Last Chance 13:46 9/12/2002	the idea behind the mouse mats is to make it a level playing field lol.. cos lets face it u can get so much more advantage from a mouse mat!!i also think theres somthing on how u should sit on the chair, and comming soon what u must eat and drink before the event.. they are also going to drug test u, did i miss anything? oh yea they come to the toilet when u p***... have fun [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Smittins 14:11 9/12/2002	why dont they make the playing field more level by using the standard cs maps that everyone has been playing for ages and everyone has tactics for, that way it will be fair and no-one will fluke a win on de_joke or whatever its called [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Divvur 16:39 9/12/2002	Doesn't seem to be a live interview, more of a 'send me some questions and I will write an answer.' Sadly, this means we didn't get any follow up questions in order to get answers we actually want. 'What is the maplist?' followed by 'What is the tourney layout, i.e. Each round best of 3, over 2 maps, mr12 ?' Whats wrong with following up with 'Why have you chosen to use this instead of the standard Counterstrike maps?' before going onto tournament structure? Might as well be a bloody press release, but after spending last week doing my Journalism course on the subject of interview techniques, then seeing this, I'm less than impressed. I realise it doesn't claim to be an interview, but it tries to give the impression of one, and I'm gonna shut up know cos I am going on and on and on about nothing...

	DArtagnan Infinity-eSports 17:32 9/12/2002	well four-kings are sponsored by intel, and have tight links with the people running the tournament, so they're hardly gonna slam the tournament. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Havors 20:03 9/12/2002	its not a tournament its a xmas p***up with a few nice prizes to give out. I mean it shows how much they know by putting more money into that l33t game RTCW. They r just using us as advertising for there products. we may aswell use joypads to play, they may sell a load of them. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Messiah Game2XS.Monkey Magic 20:22 9/12/2002	they put more money in becos its 6v6 lee :) 1st works out at £1000 per person 2nd works out at £500 per person and so [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Havors 20:38 9/12/2002	k well it doesnt deserve equal money then so... [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	erm^Bom Online Multiplayer Gaming 09:29 11/12/2002	MR15 is better.. Double elim i hope.. The maps fine, i quite like it. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
