CGS is dead!

The CGS was great to everything but the CS community. Being a Counter-Strike player myself I've seen the best of the best and worst of the worst. I started in Source and loved it. But then one day I played 1.6 and was wondering why I was still playing Source because that game was bad compared to 1.6. The CGS forced most amazing 1.6 players to go their corporation by guaranteeing a salary if they went to SOurce, the players for the other games such as FOrza 2, DOA 4, and FIFA 08 were guaranteed salaries as well. I had found that the CGS made the best 1.6 players in the world play the worst version of counter-strike in the world. Now that CGS is dead the players should go back to 1.6 allowing for the upbringing of the best counter-strike game out there.

Dell's College Gaming League

There are so many colleges participating in this awesome event that I wish I could contribute to. It's tournaments in and between Colleges. The fun seems like it won't be ending for a long time. It involves so many games including Counter-Strike and Halo 3. If you go to a college that's involved in this then have fun. http://cgl.delluniversity.com/home/. In my personal opinion it seems pretty fun. Seeing as I can't really participate in this daily event, anyone reading this and involved in the events comment this topic with what you know.

Gamer's POV on age expectancy for team recruiters

In today's world of gaming and even maybe before, teams have asked for people to join their team with certain requirements. I understand fully that games have evolved into more than just fun and have expanded to competition. To look on one aspect, it would be the most controversial, age. If you've looked for a team you may notice that they are usually accepting only 17+ or even 18+ players. It's hard for a 14 year old to get a team anymore. Most teams don't just jump into the competitive gaming scene and get to, referring to CAL, CAL Invite in one season. It takes awhile for a team to develop as a whole. Team recruiters need to recruit broadly and look for that needle in a hay stack. Yes, it will take awhile but not everyone above 17 is mature. There will be that one person that you see fulfills all the requirements except that most important one, maturity. So, to all the team recruiters out there, don't ask for members so narrowly unless you are an already professional team, people develop in many different ways. If you can't mold a player don't expect one already molded.
