As announced earlier, CyberGamer placed a $50 prize for the grand final MVP - between v300 and aShock.
We've taken two players from each team who we think are worthy of the award, but it's up to the community to decide by voting on the nominees. The winner will be announced after the poll closes at 9pm tomorrow.
Update
The money will now go to the Haiti Appeal, read post #57 for more information.
I'm not afraid to admit my mistakes.
Not having a go, i like the idea of a public vote - but maybe for future reference there should be a private poll done between teams who were in brackets or even in groups but didn't make it through to finals who vote.
I donno just throwing it out there to try and calm the situation :P then again that could also just fail seeing as most people wouldve dogged the pc after losing their games LOL.
Just the consequences we have to deal with being in such a small circle of 1.6'ers :( maybe shouldve made it a carton of redbull so it wasnt such a money hungry vote! hahaha
there are at least 65 votes
Let's start when aShock was kicked for abuse the first time round?
I'll be glad to repeat EVERYTHING I've said to your face next time at the next qualifier.
I feel so sorry for you beedee ._.
Idk what marks talking about but George is one of the only people left in the community that is proactive in keeping it a live the insults hardly seem fair.
Can't blame geo for peoples votes? Meh
Needa get away from all this hatred. Give me some laughter!
why the hell does no one else have an avatar besides me
i feel special lol
you should be thankful for the amount of work george puts into stuff like this instead of abusing him and giving him shit, we're lucky to have someone like george left in this fucking awful community.. no wonder people like sten are no longer around.
Guys can we step back a bit, this was not a WCG qualifier or an AU nats qualifier it was a cup put on to celebrate DICEVIP and their anniversary. Who was there for you guys when AINC caked putting up the cash to ensure you still played?
You guys are all lanners for the most part it was a fun online tournament for you. Pretty shocked at the display guys.
The MVP award was concocted by me as a fun spin off where you guys could vote for who you felt had played well, but as it seems this is not going to be the case the $50 is withdrawn and will be given to the haiti appeal.
Hope for the most part you guys had fun, we are coming up with more and more ways to find things for CS1.6 just try to remember when the comp is for fun and when its for serious prizes please guys.
(and just for the record, you were the one who almost got you kicked out the 2nd time if that counts for anything)
I feel so sorry for you beedee ._.
its how they carry them self in and out of game
Fizz should get MVP
also good decision by talnoy, hope cg and dice can team up again for future events without those teams who banter the admins.
just my 2 cents
Just take one second and imagine yourself in his shoes.
thanks george/dicevip/cybergamer for your hard work
a public vote is what it is - a public vote. It won't be accurate because no one will spend hours of effort to watch the POV for every person in the final and then weigh up who did the best frags/game breakers etc...
why always the aus cs 1.6 community?
GEORGE GW FOR RUNNING THE COMP. 99% OF THE COMMUNITY LOVES WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR AUSTRALIA
I think for the next mvp/poll an article then a link to a forum thread where everyone votes in a post and saying why. That way everything is transparent, nothing can be abused really and it'd still work.
wd to aShock and v300
So you're saying, there is nothing wrong with giving shit to someone, who has been nothing but kind and generous, gone out of there way to organize comps, better the community (lan events, coverage via the site, etc) ???
You guys can disagree at how stuff is run, but be respectful about it?
and thanks dicevip/cg, even though i didnt play, i was able to watch parts of some games :D.
Disappointing result for us, but nether the less we had laughs a plenty and look forward to the next one.
Within time these online comps will only get better!
But my opinion towards the debate of the MVP situation.
It should be easy to judge the man of a match, i watched all games and kagan was clearly MVP after his last inferno game. The whole vote for MVP thing doesn't really work. Its like having a community vote in Los Angelas over LJ or KB, KB gonna get the goods. I watched all final games and after kagan's last episode on inferno, he was clearly MVP. Although hes being abit of a doucherington with the keyboard, he did a good job both calling and fragging for his team. Its hard to give MVP to a losing team, MVP's win games, they dont lose them. A winning player is allways more "Valuable" than a losing player.
Comentatah, John Mottson.
however, it's no bodies right to say how the money should be used other than the person in charge. Maybe the admins should vote next time, since i know i watched at least 10 maps today alone.
Everyone knows Mark was the best player, WD mate, however it was a community vote, so unlucky, maybe work on your online persona, (because you clearly have nothing left to work on in cs :)
wd mark and ashock
cya next comp :)

good comp and fun to watch...
even the 3-4 hour iM v ashock match that i promised to watch thinking it would be 1.5 hours max..
..oh wait he is grown up
..oh wait he is
thanks george and co for running the comp!! these online comps are awesome and i hope we can see some more of them soon.
grats to ashock for taking out the comp, well played. Didnt get to see the final as i was to busy ending my life so i didnt have to continue to live in such a filthy state, but from what i heard kagan definatly for mvp.
ye ima moron dw no breadleft
you never get what you hope for gaz...
your just being a cunt saying stuff like that
Rofl man look at this guy talk about this mouse man, lazerbeams, team logos, weight system.
every one has a plan untill they get knocked out
GG to all teams this comp wouldn't happen without us(the teams) and grats 2 aShock.
dedicated to gazR lol!
I feel so bad for beedee after just reading this... i think he did the right thing, in lettin a public vote who they considered was the best... and its only natural 50% of it is going to be a popularity contest, but he did it the fairest way.
BeeDee did a great job on runnin this comp, and every other competition, i know me and my team havnt been in the scene for a while, but respect beedee to the max in the effort he puts into these comps...
B?AHAHA FUNNY ASS threat thanks guys, good read!
