The Tale of Torrez

I'm back with more content for the CGS team sites. This time, it's a look at Mark "Masternook" Torrez's career, from the very beginning and through all the highs and lows. Enjoy!...

CEVO-P Preview

As part of my ongoing (and possibly never-ending) quest to earn money for writing, I wrote a CEVO-P Preview for the Carolina Core website. Also, as a side note, I'm in Florida and it's supposed to be thirty-four degrees tonight....

Interview with Carolina's Mark Dolven

I have a lot of respect for all different kinds of people. I respect Stephen King because my brain looks a lollipop compared to his. I respect Chuck Norris because of his internet fame. (Just kidding, I respect him because...

Daily Spray (9/19)

– Organize a parade, I updated the Source rosters!  They really needed it, too. It was starting to get dusty in there. As always, if you have rosters tips, corrections, or a set “starting lineup” to send in, please do...

Daily Spray

When I first started the blog, I had a “Week in Review” section that got dumped faster than … well, I don’t know if anything has been dumped that fast. It wasn’t a bad idea, I just decided to...

New Source Rankings!

New Source Rankings are up! These reflect the action at CPL, CAL Season 8, and the beginning of the CEVO season. Enjoy!...

Pandemic Wins CPL

Congratulations to Pandemic on their CPL championship! It was a long road back from the lower bracket, but they prevailed over Turmoil 13-9 on Inferno, and 13-11 on Nuke. It was a great tournament, and I'll have a more in-depth...

Upper Bracket Finals

We're underway! Pandemic scores the first round on an outside split, with paradox picking up the last two kills from under bomb train. Sasquatch comes back with a big 4-kill round outside, floating between outside and middle; sauce picks up...

Predictions

The time is almost upon us when one team will stand over the smoking corpses of their fallen opponents. Their battle cries will be heard throughout the LAN(d), and their legends will rise to near-mythic proportions among their fellow gamers....

Pandemic Epidemic, Part Deux

I’m hopping back aboard the Pandemic train for one more stop.  Choo-choo! I thought everything regarding the selection was over. He made the pick, people were outraged and took to the streets (read: forums) to complain, and some people, including...

CGS Draft, Part I

So much happened tonight, I feel like I need some blogging minions to help sort it all out. I’m thinking something less creepy than Oompa-Loompas, but more helpful than the workers at Planet Express. Send in your applications! Disclaimer: I’ll probably...

CGS Mock Draft

Finally, the deed is finished. (I can’t believe how long this has taken already, even before the writing.) You know what that means? Two things. One: prepare yourself. This is long, strong, and long. You don’t need one snack. You need two or three, at...

WSVG Games

The WSVG shifted focus away from Counter-Strike for a good reason. If a seventh seed wins in a tournament, but the top six teams didn't show up, did they make any noise at all?

Buy.com LAN Recap

He might not look like much, but after looking at the results from the Buy.com LAN, it's clear that I need to eat some crow. (Thankfully it's only a figure of speech.)

Two Things I Hate About You

If you want to watch the original Star Wars movie, you're expecting to see Han Solo. When Jar-Jar pops up, it's disappointing -- just like some of the links and headlines on GotFrag.

Buy.com LAN Preview

What does USA basketball have to do with the Buy.com LAN Preview? Both have people trying to play two versions of the same game, with the same relative lack of success.

coL wins a ... 1.6 tournament?

If you're tired of coL winning in Source, you should be happy to know they've just won a little 1.6 tournament. If you're tired of coL winning, period, well ... better luck next time.

WoW: Arena -- Competitive Wonder?

WoW released their competitive update recently. Will it take off like a bullet-train, or will it plod along like an old handcar? Hint: there will be a lot of sweat involved.

Rank Rankings

We’re always concerned with the best.  Who’s the best (I am!), who’s the best AWPer (me > Ksharp lololol), and, if you have a girlfriend, which shoes go best with her dress?  (It’s a trick question.  Your girlfriend doesn’t need...
