theSGL History #1

Posted by sgl Blizzard on 1st Jul 2009 @ 11:44am
     
  Season One

On the 17th September 2004 theSGL was created, back then we were known as the suicidegaming league. Our aim was to “bring you a simple, straightforward competitive game of counterstrike. No less and no more.” With this simple plan behind us we opened sign ups for our first season. For people who do not know our first site was not automatic everything was manually input by Uzi, this took a huge amount of his time but after a large effort from Uzi we had our first 24 teams signed up and on the 5th October 2004 the first games kicked off and theSGL had began its journey. Over the season it ran with few problems from what I remember. What I do remember, is with the site not being automatic me and uzi had to pm every team on the match night to give them there server ip and password (a password which has never changed). I’m sure Uzi will remember a lot more which happened over season one and for the people who were about they will have there own memories. I will not continue to bore you with the goings on of 5 years ago as this is really a very brief overview however there is one moment which stood out for me, this was proberly due to me having to tell the team in question. The moment was when Naughty were told they were losing there title because Nehoe was caught cheating by Steambans. This may seem a small matter in relation to now when a cheater is caught every five minutes, but this decision paved the way for our hardline on cheating. I believe there was even an online petition to get him unbanned at the time. Anyways I have searched web archive for a good three hours and found the final standings for Season One and the majority of the original rosters.

Over the coming weeks I will be doing news post just like this one about the history of theSGL, every season will feature and every major cup tournament. While doing this I will be compiling a Hall of Fame while which will be released at the end. This Hall of Fame will not only include the winners of the leagues but teams which should have legendary status which played a part in the history of theSGL and gave a lot back to the CS1.6 community. I will not only be including CS1.6 tournaments our first CSS tournaments will also feature, including the Cups we ran for intel and our five thousand pound cash prize for tournament.com.

I hope you guys have enjoyed this brief look back at our first season if you have any memories you want to share please put them in the comments.

Quotes:

Uzi:
“We have never felt we needed the ten best teams on offer, just give us ten teams who want to play some matches and we will give you a league season - and so became season one.”

(If anyone is still about who played in season one and would like to say something about it please pm me (Blizzard)

#51 | sgl Uzi | Posted on 02/07/09 3:56pm
All the rage set the standard for what to follow.

"oh yeah we are good players, but we dont actually play the game any more" - sound familiar ?

"atr" more like "whats the point".
#52 | hk rimm3r | Posted on 02/07/09 4:29pm
