Sorry but I really don't think arsenal have the strength at the back to contend with barca. Neither do United. Barca to make it 2 years on the trot.

Season 11 CS1.6 Teams

Posted by sgl Blizzard on 23rd Oct 2009 @ 9:58am
Now we are moving into the latter stages of the pre season tournament, I thought it would be appropriate to run through which teams have qualified for it. Before doing so though I would like to run through the format of season 11 and the reasons behind it as it will be changing.

Season 11 for Counterstrike 1.6 will go back to the original format we started with back in 2004. For people who do not remember this format it was very simple with Invite, Premiership, Division 1, 2 etc however this time round we will add playoffs at the end of the season so again its all to play for so if you end in fifth you can still get promoted. Each division will have 8 teams in it with a simple two teams up and two teams down promotion/relegation. I’m sure some teams will see this as great move some will see it as a disaster. Before you make judgment though I would like to run through my thought process and give the reasons why we are moving back to the old format.

Back when theSGL started, your placement in CSGN was your ranking in the UK you could see who you had to beat and who you were better than. Even the teams at the top knew if you won a season you were the team to beat. Of course you had 4kings who were often away playing in European competitions much like Dignitas are now. No one could and can dispute there claim to being best in UK. Even then though It was always felt the teams flying the UK flag were the ones at the top of CSGN. When CSGN stopped theSGL took over there place to some extent especially in seasons four to Six but after season six the amount of games hit a low the system went stale. So we introduced the new system it worked well for us a lot more teams were playing & it was very competitive, it did exactly what we wanted it to do. For all its plus points though the one thing which was lost was teams could no longer have bragging rights over others. It is time for theSGL to step up to the plate once again and give teams those bragging rights back especially within the middle sector of CS teams where there is such debate on who is better than who. This season was all about playing a basic game of Counterstrike along with this it’s now about where you sit in the UK community who are you really better than.

So now onto the teams which will be in season 11 these are not in order of seedings. I will release these over the course of the weekend so keep checking back:

#thelastresort
Flattering to decieve
Dangerously overrated has-beens
Clip
Infernal Gamers
Afterlife-gaming


Some of these teams will have to play each other to determine there placing in season 11 fixtures will be posted here and i will inform the clan leaders of the game over PM on the site.

Afterlife-gaming vs Infernal Gamers  (To be played before October 31st)
Clip vs Afterlife-gaming
(To be played before October 31st)
Clip vs Infernal Gamers (To be played before October 31st)

So its back to basic’s and back to the old days where teams knew where they stood all they had to do is turn up and win. I want those teams who turn up and play constantly the ones who are really keeping the CS1.6 UK community going to have there ranking back.

‘Just AVE IT’

GJ on bringing back the old format, it was much better and left a few of us confused on why you changed it to the new one ages ago.

Now all we need is stone back and it'll be like 06 again.

But where would they get placed? In league tier?
#39 | au jshwa | Posted on 02/11/09 8:09am
i'm assuming if there's only places availabe in tier then this is likely =( it's okay jake we'l just msash it in tier for a season lol
#40 | se ets | Posted on 02/11/09 4:30pm

If its going back to 2004 format, there was a league tier..
#42 | se ets | Posted on 03/11/09 1:38am
ah right, i wouldn't of known that as it wasn't stated there was a tier back then, and also i didn't even play cs in 04...
#43 | en TEJUARRRRR! | Posted on 03/11/09 2:05am
wasnt it.

invite
prem
div1
div2
div3
open league x8
#44 | kr eKaj | Posted on 03/11/09 10:49am
yeh but not sure the amount of open leagues, very much doubt we'd had enough teams for one lol
#45 | sx NomaK[ASD] | Posted on 04/11/09 12:08am
do it like CAL with russka contra fire strike 3rdroutecomrade overrun etc added to the mix that would just make me go blind from pure awesomeness *points to the sgl with the cal maps* its too awesome.
#46 | se jmarsh | Posted on 04/11/09 3:24pm
so is there no chance of new teams to be in this who didn't get the chance of playing in preseason. Or will new teams be able to take the places of teams that have folded/dropped out?
#47 | en TEJUARRRRR! | Posted on 04/11/09 4:38pm
yes, there is ^
#48 | uk saM ;) | Posted on 05/11/09 5:55am

#60 | se jmarsh | Posted on 10/11/09 1:41pm
So is it coming out soon, would be cool to see what divisions people are in.
#61 | se pLo | Posted on 10/11/09 7:03pm
after reading what u said i really dont see why it was changed in the first place, the competition was always between the divisions and it stopped clans with hot headed leetists getting places to quickly and braking up within a few weeks

i welcome back the old format and hope everyone enjoys it as i did :] gg blizz and co!
#62 | sx NomaK[ASD] | Posted on 11/11/09 2:38pm
control, control! you must learn control! ~Yoda

I think its good if you make less divisions cause people have an incentive not to default or they risk losing a place in the sgl all together and they will actually fight for there place but if you have more than enough divisions then people are gonna go nah doesnt matter if we default there is plenty of places anyways, be stricter. It was like that in the old days and it was better, stick with old skool.
#63 | hk Makster | Posted on 11/11/09 8:59pm
:p xmas hols will be soon and if the season 11 starts just b4, there will be alot of defaults i feel coming.
#64 | se jmarsh | Posted on 11/11/09 9:52pm
yh that's true.

let's face it guys, started a season just before christmas is not what we need in our quest for less defaults.. how bout just a onlines heroes or something? i vote for the season to start in january, it's the only way it will work
#77 | se ets | Posted on 23/11/09 3:03am
true ^
#78 | ie digs | Posted on 23/11/09 5:25pm
starting the season in january is fail. i know i have college tests and alot more people would have too. ultra fail too many defaults
#79 | sx NomaK[ASD] | Posted on 24/11/09 11:42am
This is what happened last time, just give it a rest the season will start when the season will start. Stop bugging blizzard and the admins, it isn't going to make them go any faster probably the opposite tbh. If they put on an online heroes cup again to fill the gaps then goodie goodie. Can't wait though, it'll be a toot and a holler.
