The documentary interviews players like Zeus, dev1ce, Hiko, and B1ad3. The Navi documentary interview various CSGO personalities about moments in S1mple’s career, going all the way back to his days competing at Kiev’s Cyberarena, the ground zero for much of CIS’ Counter-Strike, Dota, and World of Tanks competition. Aleksander ‘s1mple’ Kostyliev, arguably the most talented CSGO player in the world right now, now finds himself the focus of S1mple Formula, a documentary created by esports organization NAVI about the Ukrainian player’s historic career in Counter-Strike. However, as we enter the modern era of multiplayer gaming, new players and personalities have emerged.
Other documentaries have chosen Counter-Strike as their subject matter, like Valve’s Counter-Strike: A Brief History or the CTV’s investigative documentary ‘ First Person Shooter,’ which was actually made by CS pro shaGuar’s dad (I’m really showing my age here).
Heck, Counter-Strike even had one of the first franchised esports leagues with the Championship Gaming Series of the late 2000s, complete with Playboy Mansion player draft and everything.

Much more would actually be spent gathering that much equipment from various resources if they were supplying rigs that were good enough for CS but not much more.By Sebastian Lubbers in CS:GO | Sep, 8th 2021 There's also the manufacturer's logistics issue of supplying large numbers of consistent computer configurations. If you were Intel/whoever, would you advertise with what gets the job done, or what kicks the job in the ass and and says bring it on!? Gamer's don't want to buy your gear if they don't have the impression that it's going to change or greatly enhance the way they game. How many players are going to drool over the gaming rigs and then be disappointed going back to their old faithful? Advertising near its best. "With 64-bit dedicated servers using AMD Opteron processors, Valve will offer online gamers increased reliability, improved stability and greater throughput."īut as far as the general gaming rigs go - Overkill for CS?

I you probably could run 3 cs games on it simultanously I think. Man thats definate overkill for CS and with the graphics card. Saw that Intel sponsor the cpl so that would explain that. WTF are they running cs on a P4 3.06 Ghz machine for? AND with a GF4Tri4600!Ī few years ago my friend had a PIII 700 oc 933 with a GF2 64mb pro and it ran cs FLAWLESSLY at 100fps CONSTANT no matter what was on the screen.
