ESR interviews Angel Munoz

ESReality has interviewed the founder and president of the CPL, Angel Munoz.

snipet:

What are the reasons behind the CPL yet again picking TsN for the World Tour notwithstanding the immense amount of criticism after their ‘performance’ at CPL Winter?

TsN has been reporting live at CPL events for years and have done a great job. I think they are very aware that their Painkiller coverage needs a ‘brush up’ to become equitable with their CS coverage. I like the iTG staff very much and they do a super job because of their one-versus-one experience. In fact they are welcome to attend any of the World Tour Stops as our agreement with TsN is not exclusive.

Ztrider wins Jolt PCZone

Ztrider just won the PC Zone Jolt Painkiller tournament. He beat Jabb0r from the UK in two maps.

  • Sacred: Ztrider 17 – 15 Jabb0r
  • Absinthe: Ztrider 30 – 1 Jabbb0r

The game was played on 1.61, and i think they had some fps problems in absinthe.

GG to both.

Bluefoot and Shadish did not play, and share the 3th place.

PK 1.61: A step backwards

GotFrag? posted a article concerning the problems with the new 1.61 patch.

A snipet:

“Easier movement isn’t exactly “easier”, it seems almost more sloppy and random instead of tight and controlled.” said Flander. “I can’t even play online anymore. People who play out of control and just run around are going to dominate online; it’s not going be about aim or skill”
