RIP CPL
Thursday, May 08 2008
Well, the Cyberathlete Professoinal League has ceased to exist. I was one of the team contestants for the 1999/2000 tournament years. The best we did was 16th place. We were just a bunch of dedicated Counter-Strike players who got together on weekends and had LAN parties. Pretty soon we discovered that we were demolishing other teams in the Texas region pretty handily, and found ourselves given an invite to a CPL regional (I think they were called "CAL" regionals...memory is fuzzy now :-). Well, we kept winning and went on to "The Show" in Dallas. It was amazing, because we saw PAID teams flown in from all over the world...South Africa, Finland, France, Japan, Korea....and they kicked our butts like we were in kindergarten. Our only saving grace is that were were pretty good for just being a bunch of "Weekend Warriors", so we made enough prize money to pay for our entry fees and a couple of overpriced hot dogs. We repeated it again in 2000, but by that time most of us didn't like the demands it put on ourselves or our families, and the 2000 tournament was our swan song.
Anyway...it was cool, fun, etc. I made great friends there too. But alas, no more.
ok, back to gamer geek stuff.
Psst....Conquerator is a BLAST!
