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)." Update: 08/02 01:06 GMT by S : There's a more detailed report over at Gotfrag.

    I'm going to be a sucker to take on your sig as well.

    If nader wouldn't have been an option in the last election, Gore would have been president. Instead, Bush was. Did the country move in the direction you wanted it to?

    Politics is all about compromise. No Kerry isn't the ideal candidate, but he's a lot better than Bush.
