ESL Classics: fnatic vs. mousesports - Grand Final - IEM Cologne 2010 - Counter-Strike 1.6 

Lol what pros are still playing 1.6 I mean over here in NA wed run random 1.6 ten man's for awhile after csgo came out for the first year or two but it was barely anyone n was hard to even get a full ten for a pug. Now no one even brings it up anymore. It's just a bunch of bots and Brazilians on pub servers and rage hackers when you hop on 1.6 now lol. Don't get me wrong I love 1.6 and it will always hold my heart as the best cs to date even greater than the legendary 1.5 or even 1.3 depending who you talk to lol. Csgo is a pretty solid game though and I'm content with it and glad the game ended up being more like 1.6 than source. Csgo is def the second best version of cs.

@@kevindreese5283 some EU pro's playing 1.6 j4f. So here in eu you can easy play some pcw without cheater. :)

@@douglasyanceyfunnie136 I'd love to join you guys but my ping would be way too high for cs. The best of found for old-school cs structured pug play is a cs beta 6.1 community with a good few na players but they only rly play beta 6.1 and maybe sometimes 1.1 or 1.3

I miss 1.6 pugs. I'd settle for 1.5 but 1.6 just feels like the most solid version of cs.

@@FighterSo2what happened to them bruh?!

​@@gorkie6998 cyx was a goated player. Part of mouz's only lineup to win a major. And sadly he was killed in a car crash in 2010 after he missed his flight for an event. Shanghai I believe but not sure. Was really quite tragic.

@@TehSharuking so sad to hear that... he was a great team mate

What happened to him?

died in a car accident in 2010

Oh poor guy, thanks for the info tho.

rip

+Dre's Ootoob You can tell he has much more respect for 1.6, watching these old events I'm realizing he's slowly loosened up as he's complained about GO more and more Which is fine I love final form thooorin

it's funny to think that even though this was years ago, he was still in his late 20s or in his 30s at the time of this event

gore-neo-blizzard-roman R and johnny R was nice too

GrayzBDF Story of my life :D

No joke. Man cs progressed so much from when I fell out of the scene in 2006 to when I came back in 2009 and til the end.

The difference was almost night in day in how much everyone progressed. The latter half of 1.6 was def the era of rapid progression in the game.

with this monitors u saw the real facts making games good.

i own one :) u can have 180hz on them ;D

rip

rip ;c

+Haziiyama CRTs have more hz than normal LCDs

+Haziiyama CRTs are still faster, lower pixel persistence (less motion blur), and higher refresh rate than all but a few gaming monitors today

+Haziiyama noob

Rene Nicolaus well done

lol wtf. just asking a question

+HaZarD better question if this is 2010 why they are playing with CRT monitor :D (by the way CS-S was as competitive as cs go )

+johnnyhun1 CRT is better than LCD monitors. If they could make a flat CRT, I would use that still over any monitor.

narancs5 really bro? u r mad... omg

***** I don't know about the current high-tech stuff, but so far I haven't seen any modern monitor outdo the contrast and cleanness of the picture of a CRT, so yea. It's really bad for your eyes, takes up a lot of space, but other than that....its the best.

WIEBIE old video

Invaders must die

ikr

+Seaque rip english

As nice as current IPS monitors are.... some of those old CRTS went up 200hz refresh rate! And colors were a lot better than lcds were back in 2010 lol. And in 1.6 hardly anyone played above 1024x760 so they worked great. Too bad they weighed as much as a microwave.

+Fifty0ne Microwave? You mean refrigerator? :)

+Han Lars I Owned a 21" CRT that was around 30kg. I remember the fear of letting it fall when i carried it down the stairs. Had to strap this fucker tightly in the backseat or even hold it on my lap when i went on LAN. Thanks for always driving us, Mum.

cool, thanks, i sort of went to do some research after and figured it out ^^ thanks tho

Wait, you know about the death of cyx but don't know why people used CRTs?!
