It’s been a long time since theSGL has had anything positive to say about cs1.6, this season has just seen me constantly fighting a battle with defaults and inactive teams. Well after a more positive week last Sunday in the league, we believe its time to breathe some life into the old game. The man who has volunteered himself for this job is Allen from versatile, as I’m sure you are all aware of him I will dispense with the full introduction and just say we welcome him into theSGL admin team.

Allen will be running weekly one night cups for cs1.6 gamers over the summer; I believe the plan is to keep to the normal maps until the league is over to help teams practice. Once the league is done more “fun” maps will be introduced, we may even see a return of the famous de_sglstone. I have bullet pointed below important information which you will need to know:

• Games will be on your own servers
• Players must be on your roster however the wait time will be ignored.
• SGLAC must be used, as ever if you don’t use it your team will be removed from the cup.
• A leader or manager must be in #theSGL @quakenet on IRC 15minutes before match time.
• No prizes these are fun cups however if you win and you want VIP I will set it up for you. (Just pm me on the website)

The first installment of the Summer Series Cups will be this Thursday at 7pm and sign ups are open now. This will be open to 16 teams and will run on a first come first served basis. Teams will be posted a night before. Finally the maps will be:

Round 1: de_nuke
Round 2: de_dust2
Round 3: de_Inferno
Round 4: de_train

If the response is good to these cups we may run more than one over the week. On a final note many people say the game is dead maybe it is maybe it isn’t, over the next few months this question will be answered. theSGL started on CS1.6 and have continued to run competitions over the last five years. Even though we have expanded into other games we have stayed loyal to CS1.6 and once again we show our faith in the game with these cups. The question still remains whether there will be a season 11 its time for you the teams to answer.
