Okay we're going to start cracking down on people bashing players for no reason. You don't have to like every player, but at least show some respect. (as of page 402)

if all top foreigners come into 1 or 2 team house and practice together. They will probably be able to compete with koreans. the like of Idra, Ret, Sheth, Morrow, Select, Thorzain, Fenix, Major, Sjow, White Ra, Naniwa, Kiwikaki
Otherwise they will fall further and further behind. Practice with the best and become the best.

Its really not halo's pretty much at the level of bw with the level of mechanics at the top.
level of bw mechanics? someone call the doctor!
LOLOLOL troll or insane?
I facepalmed so hard. Same level as BW? Someone hasn't ever played BW.
Halo is one of the slower shooters around. And do not even get me started on the multitasking differences between the two.
He could kinda have an argument with CS 1.6 or something... The calibre of players at the top was insane but... Halo? Sorry no dice.
Even then i'd say BW is harder. Infact the more i think about it, way harder.
I agree with you entirely, yes.
1.6 had some insane players. I remember when fatal1ty joined a pro counter strike team and was removed because, well he just could not stop shooting his own team mates.
i was about to laugh when you brought up fatal1ty in cs until i read the rest (tehn again zet had a nasty habbit of killing his team in css )
1.6 is still to me the greatest esport of all time. so many great tournaments and teams. starcraft is really awesome, but 5v5 cs in its prime with teams like sk, 3d, col, noa was simply insane.
Too bad the community was so fucking shitty along with DotA
moonan played very well in that game. His constant sieges and drops made kawaii run between his main and nat. A 1 sided game.

So what? Any CS playered get's demolished in Unreal Tournament or Quake...
of course they do, but fatal1ty seemed to push himself into other games pretending to be the next best player in that scene
he pretty much went into every new fucking fps that got released for several years back then
CS is a game that is so much different from most FPS, you cannot start playing and instantly become good like you can in a lot of them, it takes so much practice because the recoil is so hard
I'm sure the guys that win the Halo tournament probably just started playing last week....
Most of them have been playing since Halo CE back in 01, and if not H2 back in 04
No you're wrong because some guy who played cs 8 years ago and has no idea about Halo wouldn't be surprised.

His path from this point on: SeleCT- EGiNcontroL ThorZaIN (Plus will have to play extended series) EG-Machine oGsMC Someone else (I'm assuming either July or SjoW) IdrA or SlayerSMMA IdrA or SlayerSMMA or Naniwa or IMLosira IdrA or SlayerSMMA or Naniwa or IMLosira IdrA or SlayerSMMA or Naniwa or IMLosira (twice or extended series since he's fomr the losers bracket) That's going to be like 20 bo3's.
Its a brutal schedule but I bet he would prefer it to being out of the tourney which is what single elimination would mean.

Fatality admitted CS was the hardest FPS to get adjusted to..I'm just saying it's much different from your normal fps

I dont think anyone doubts that idra and naniwa can compete. The skill gap comes from the fact that pretty much any code s korean and many code a ones would have similar mlg results as the ones who attended...but theres only 4-5 foreigners who would have any success in gsl.

Had a pretty good habbit of all-killing in 1.6 though :D.
I guess he got even more aggressive in source? I didn't even think that was possible :D I quit 1.6 as soon as the majority of players/clans all started moving over. Ironically went on to play a little game called BW
