CPL Sunday
Steve Gibson
8
A couple of bits from ShackES this *hoppin* holiday Sunday, firstly Matt has written up a quite critical article (along with pictures) of the latest Babbage's CPL event which was plagued by delays related to the tournament software. (Eventricity, which has since been dropped by CPL). Also, CPL has announced some of their 2001 schedule. Which 4 out of 5 are now featuring Counter-Strike which looks to have been fully adopted by CPL.

Instead I want to talk about what went on at the event, about the accomplishments and the many failures of the CPL's four day pro gaming shindig. Babbage's was the CPL's final event of 2000, and it started a number of league trends that are supposed to continue in 2001. I'm wondering if some of those trends should stop, because after going to the last three CPL events I think I'm qualified to say that the Babbage's CPL Event kinda sucked. [...]

Maarten also snapped up a bunch of pictures of the event you can check out.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
