i probz remember from 2003 up._.
HaHA TrONG Ur A NoOOB
I remember that exact same thing.. catchin the ol glen waverly'er to City and keening up on the walk to russ3l st. gettin in and just sittin in the war room watching trong tony lemming and zevier play 1st to 1000 aim maps and then gettin 13-1'd by them in MGL div1.. ahh the golden days
especially with the 09 bit
and x2 #17 WTF
ROF nevermind still is
mad cunts ahha
Its really funny to see how much of that really relates to what I used to do back in the day. Skip school just to go to a LAN cafe and play cs from 11am till 8pm almost every day haha, and cant forget the silent awp in 1.5 when u switch quickly with a nade that was the best.
Miss days tbh... :(
- You knew u were in 2001 when u'd join an Optus 32 server and there were 5 guys tagged up as 'cr@zy
- Playing in pub and watching guys play the chicken dance music over the mic and watching them hold a primed nade and throwing their mouse up and down for the firs time. gold.
mx500's are still the dream
i remember everyone took pride in the alias of their team and themself, now people would rather alias talk shit and make you wanna quit the game
my first clan i joined tag was "crushing_10(number reflected when you joined the clan, e.g 10th person)

there was one day of the week when I had a free period before lunch and then French afterwards. I would just leave school when the free period stated and play cs from like 1pm. Quite a treat.
I still got 90 for extension english though
I don't even remember anything about CS in 2005 but in 2006 I went to lan for the first time with doug, milky, anxious and elesnack and we lost to sammcf's team and HYPER despite me clutching a 2v1 in pit with awp
Then I joined HYPER and we qualled for WGT at the LCC. Somehow we got 11 rounds on nR despite being hideous and beat aGamers who were frankly very bad.
In 2007 my teams owned all the mid-tier teams but fed horribly against the top 3. Oh well. Then I quit. Oh and we lost to davestr1zl at WCG 2007, the event itself being a piece of shit. That was probably a big factor motivating my retirement.
actually i found the bracket, sharp:

i remember bizzare knocked me off my chair at ibisq trying to get through the isle and kept walking like as if it didn't happen
i also remember evolution came walking into ibisq with a cheeky grin claiming he had just changed from mx500 to v1 and went from an awp king to a burnout in a matter of 1 match, he was never the same.
that was brutal

- ksharp demo
- 'get one, get some fuckin get them all man' + takita smashing a burger.
