These are not the words one would like to hear from one of the staff in the middle of Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) Extreme World Championships $100,000 Counter-Strike finals. But it happened. Finally, after the game was restarted, Team Eyeballers (Sweden) is the new CPL CS Champion over Schroet Kommando (also Sweden), winning (7-5;6-0)."

All the "cyberathlete" bullshit is about half of what drove me away from CS (and HL mods in general). I'm sure its great to make money playing games, but "esports" and "cyberathletes", give me a break. The CS community needs to wake up, and grow up.
