complexity cs:source team?

[DeFy18]

I was wondering since complexity is a multi game gaming organisation if complexity will ever re-add source back? (This is for anyone in coL that would know the anwser)

I'll be very blunt man. I doubt that Source is gonna make a comeback. I love the game and how it's fun in its own way but unfortunately when CGS died it kinda ended the Source ERA. There are still a couple lans and teams that play Source, but its not as big when CGS was around. Everybody is back to focusing on 1.6, but 1.6 is losing a lot of lans from the economic situation.

It's really a sad time for e sports. Hopefully the economy gets fixed soon before it gets really bad.
To answer your question however. I very doubt that complexity is gonna pick up a source team for the very reasons I said above.

hopefully not

I can see what you mean, but its still a huge competitive sport with great players all around the world. But since the gay ass economy downfall happened esports has taken a turn for the worst and the lesser games have lost there touch.

Yea when CGS died source went with it and almost everyone went to 1.6

[smont]

source player for life here lol yes 1.6 has a lot more competition but i play source because i started with it and i like to play it. just filled with a bunch of unintelligent kids, would be better without that =D i hope coL gets a css team but im sure it wont happen D=

[Tilley]

E-Sports needs more games for people to compete, so if CSS did start to grow soon, maybe coL would look for a CSS team to represent the...franchise(?). It looks unlikely because of the economy, but you can always hope, :) !

why does esports need more games? that just means now the sponsor money will be spread out over more games making it harder for players to make a living. NA needs to find 1 game that the majority of people will watch so that everyone can get behind 1 game so the community will stop being fragmented.

[Tilley]

NA would not be able to pick 1 game, if we did i think it would be WoW over any game. I believe that more games should be introduced into competitive gaming, so that more people in NA will be interested and sponsorships/endorsements will come. Depending on the state of the economy...

ya they are prob right , its sad i have been playing cs for 8+ years "when ever the game came out" and i was a huge 1.6 junky and thought i would never switch to source, but when i did i loved it, and to be honest i like source better then 1.6 now, i just think 1.6 is old and its boring to me, i guess source has that new look and feel i dunno what it is but i like it way better now.

[drayp11]

I started out with source and i got better but then i stopped improving, the game got very boring. After the CGS died i switched to 1.6 and i love that game way more than source, only problem with 1.6 is so many cheaters.

[claymore]

cheating is rampant in both games.

Personally, I go back and forth between the games because there is a certain "luck" factor in Source that makes it fun to play (not competitively) once in a while.

Name one major CS:Source LAN event... and that answers the question of if a pro team will go to CSS :)

[DeFy18]

Major? I think there is some big ones, idk what your definition of major is,but i know some like showdown, gigabits, wsvg, the i#(current is i34) lans, the recent iZed lan, EGN, digital storm, starbytes, and cpl is coming out soon(maybe) and lots more.

There is lans out there, you just gotta know about them, just like 1.6 .

[AlbeL]

its i36 now defy

[claymore]

even if there aren't huge lans (which there are already fairly big ones), the potential is still there. CGS is NOT the basis of source competitition, it was a jumping off point. The Source community is still alive, even if the competitive region of that community is somewhat hindered.
