Hello everyone!

 

Finally the year of 2011 has come to an end. The year has been great for me, both in real life and in my cs career.

Yes, we have had a rocky year with lineupchanges, one that included me being replaced, and also alot of bad tournaments.

All in all I can say that Im satisfied with this year. We won 3 majors, on some we were among the top4, but whats makes me happy is that we ended this year in a way that we should be proud of. The last 4 tournaments, with our danish monster Friis, we placed 1st IEM Guangzhou, REALLY BAD ESWC, 2nd MSI Beat IT Russia, 1st Dreamhack Winter and now we managed to qualify for IEM Kiev in January. 

I think the qualifier for Kiev had all the topteams today, Yes there werent any american or asian teams playing but to be honest I think the noneuropean teams hasnt been that good lately, except the brazilian team which I think could do more damage than they did at WCG. However, im not a fan playing important matches online. Mostly because online, fucked up things happen. Players and teams that has no clue at LAN is owning - a fact. Problems with deciding a proper server to play on, (Germans always get which server they want to play on, IEM <3 Germans) and also all the problems players can get while playing online, for an example DDOS, something that I think noone got during this qualifier.

However, enough with the sad storys, we are trough and thats the most important thing. Im really looking forward for the next year, hopefully CS 1.6 will be around for a while, and while testing this new CS, "CS:GO" as they call it. I find myself thinking if I will continue my career with CS:GO. The problem with CS:GO today is that alot of the weapons used today in CS 1.6 isnt any way near what it should be in CS:GO. For an example, while trying this beta, I saw that 8 out of 10 played with the AWP. Why? Because thats the only weapon that shoots in the direction you want. Trying to play with AK and Colt is like playing with the same weapons in CS 1.6 - blindfolded. The bullets aim at the clouds and not on the opponents. So, in order to make other CS 1.6 fans to stay I really think the should fix the aim, at least a little bit. Because now, to be honest its totally fucked up. 

However I like the graphics alot and I think everyone out there should give this game a chance. We know that we cant play CS 1.6 forever, and as the computermanifactures are increasing in technology, we also need to do that in our game, that we love. If we keep doing that, we will see this game around for a long time. Maybe it will be as SC2, that more money are put into the game, which will increase the standard of players and proffesionality. 

The beta keys will be handed out to the public in the beginning of the next year. So it would be great with alot of feedback from every gamer, no matter if you are good or bad, every little feedback helps the game to develop, and thats something that is needed.

 

So, the next time you will hear from me will probably be before IEM Kiev or after, hopefully. To wrap this year up I would like to thank our alltime fans, that has been with us when we started off good, when we did bad, and when we came back. The motivation you guys give us when you believe in us is enourmus. It helps us to always push beyond the limits, because in CS there is no limits! The sky is the limit!

 

I want to wish everyone outthere who is celebrating Christmas a Happy Christmas. And ofcourse to everyone outthere a happy new year!!!

Talk soon - pita!
