cgs has such a idiot system. if fnatic.css win, then fnatic gonna lose their team and cgs taking it over.
just see the advantage for the team, not for fnatic. was it worth, to spend all the money just to lose the team at the end? don't get it...

Well if CGS offers more than fnatic does, why wouldn't they switch? fnatic will just have to get a bunch of new players, they won't lose their name..

i'm talking about the salaries, costs for trips, accomodations etc. in the last months.
hopefully is the pr the money worth, but sam is a clever guy and has a good team around him, they know what they have to do.

Second isnt that bad and NoA got asskicked in the two last matches =D
Fnatic 4:2 NoA ^_^
It seems like the Fnatic Counter-Strike teams suck at dust2 =D
When proph is playing again, Fnatic will be undefeatable even on dd2 ^_^
Four maps lost, three of them on dust2 says enough? :D

it's called gamers being general mangers.... they pick teams on ppl they know and are friends with. Things like this always happen it's just biased. This team has been nr 1 of europe for a while afaik and now they pick 2 teams above them? gg
some extra stuff if you are interested how biased it is:

i understand heaton for chosing eye instead of fnatic because eye was the best team at the CGS Combine.
but i can't understand for chosing noa instead of fantic. Also he said that he thought that the most germans don't like people from netherland so he chose noa...

Nah... I don't think that's true. Maybe us dutchies don't like germans, but until now everytime I was in Germany everyone was very friendly. But maybe it's just me ;)

Mm... Even for the fifa guys who made it, looked pretty biased there too ;/
fnatic.css was the overall the best team there and not EYE coz fnatic has been doing well throughout the year and that just means they are super (ye different rules for CGS i know but still...) - -;
But well, as always, there's no such thing as objectivity I suppose. Sad for our boys, cheer up guys and own it up next time and pwn all the other tournaments through the year ^^;

Very sad but oh so predictable. Even if we had beaten EYE, Heaton would have choosen them. The system is totally unfair and lents itself to corruption. Why bother competing??? Jut ask Managers who they would like on their side, thats what it basically comes down to.

its for television, if you want gaming to go mainstream worldwide, consumers have to stay interested in it. I hate the idea too, but for a TV watcher who doesn't know anything about Counter-Strike its very interesting. :P
