"RED NOVEMBER - Online Counter-Strike Tournament
Sponsored by: AMD, Belkin, Corsair, Gainward, Gigabyte, PCZone, Jolt, MSI, Multivision.

So you think your Counter-Strike clan is the dogs bollocks? And reckon that if you entered a competition you’d waltz off with the top prizes just in time for Christmas? Prove it. That’s the challenge in the massive online Counter-Strike Tournament – Red November.

DK, if their favoured competitor for UK team manager pulled out, why shouldnt they vote for you?

Fair enough about sucking up (etc etc), but if you would have been their second choice then there's nout wrong with it.

Before they'd rather have had chris0, now they'd have you... :). As if always the case with these things...if someone's favourite pulls out, they back another. gl btw. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Nice that the eSports Pro clans wont be involved. Whos betting that either A) All their clans players merc for other teams or B) some of them form a clan specifically for this competiton. Should be the usual UK scene flame war either way.

Fair comment blitz, I agree. Again tho, I'm talking about people spouting BS when their intentions on me getting the role were clear.

I really don't see how esport-pro clans can be excluded from this competition. What makes us pro?? We've had no sponsorship deals as of yet, no financial backing. Just because we've signed some agreement that most of the team have no idea about, shouldn't exclude us from a competition, thats lets face it, will give us more if we win than esport-pro will ever give us.

It's not that I don't appriciated what esport have offered, but it would be nice to see some results from all the promises, especially if we are to be excluded from competitions for being with them. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
