    CS:S tourneys are fun to watch people bitch and argue over the rules and maps in the forums. The matches are boring cause it is the same goddamned map you have seen in the previous 500 tourneys.

    For our sanity no CS:S tourney.

    Yeah... no CS:S would be awesome!
    And a COD4 tourney would be sweet because it was neglected, bullied, and abused out of the console tourney (totally not feasible for console, but still, COD4 has feelings).

    there's a 95% chance there won't be a CS:S tournament.

    We're just waiting to hear from an "OK GO" from an unnamed developer/publisher/retailer. Otherwise: CSS it is.

    Hardly. That sounds like my kind of prize...

    Seeing as how whenever I play CS:S, I always manage to walk backwards right into the enemy lines.

    In WoW terms, I am a level 70 medic and level 67 pyro.

    When the game came out, I played nothing but medic for over 200 hours on my clan's server. When I finally
    started playing pyro, people always thought I was a spy because they were so used to seeing me as a medic.

    My other WoW TF2 class levels:

    Scout: Level 55
    Demoman: Level 48
    Sniper: Level 46
    Engineer: Level 40
    Heavy: Level 38
    Soldier: Level 30
    Spy: Level 1

    What about you guys? What are your best classes?

    Oh, I am also one of those strategy/leader types of players. I work out plans and coordinate my team members when necessary, like if our intel has been dropped and we need some defense.

    Are these just numbers we make up based on how good we think we are at the class? Here's how I feel I am.

    Heavy: Level 70
    Medic: Level 65
    Pyro: Level 60
    Demoman: Level 55
    Spy: Level 42
    Scout: Level 40

    Yes. That is correct.

    70 = Elite or master of the class
    1 = I don't know what I'm doing, I'm lucky if I get a kill before I die.

    There wasn't a non-BYOC DotA tourney last year, so I doubt there will be one this year. Besides it taking too long, the tournaments try to focus on more recently released games.

    yes there is a PA server, there is even a PAX forum steam community.

    And jonxp, if you do make a team like that I want in on it. In fact I'd even help organizing it if you needed me.

    There are three (3) PA server, and one semi-PA server. Check out the TF2 thread in G&T, TrainwreckX.

    Man, trust me, I'll have a call to arms if we get to make our own TF2 teams for a PC tourney. And we will lose, but have such an incredible time.

    FYI: there are a fuckton of new games out there, some of which are far better than cs in every regard (even ones that get more playtime online than it now).

    Its time to move on from that.

    I agree. I think that Call of Duty 4 was the final direct nail in the coffin. I know very very few people that still play CS, and none of them all that religiously anymore. At one time, everyone seemed to play it. I talk to people while playing COD4, and I would say like 80% of them said they were playing CSS before COD4.

    TF2 is definitely a better game, and it's far more fun. As is Call of Duty. If there were tournaments for either (or both) I would be forced to enter.
