So your league join application was rejected in 1st qualifier? Such a sad story. Since we hate to see you masculine gamers cry, we've three more qualifiers so stop being sad and start being awesome instead!

After some time without a new game mode or map changes we can announce some changes today for Counter-Strike in VERSUS. We added a new game mode and removed a map from the mappool. If you want to know more, you have to read this news to get all details.

We are proud to announce you the next event in the International Counter-Strike Section. This time it's a team event so you better not come alone. Gather your mates and be sure to bring your A-Team because we do not hand out premium keys for "nice try" or "most friendly team". Long time ago we had some 5on5 cups, but here we will have a cup series.

A week ago we added 2on2 Quickie as new game mode to VERSUS and after your feedback we also added the 2on2 MR15 mode. You will decide, which game mode will stay in VERSUS for more than just a week, so ask your friends and team mate to play your favourite mode. And next week we will start a poll about a mappool change in all game modes.

Well guys, we hope you all enjoyed playing because we had enjoyed administrating this cup for you. This cup was created for one purpose only: to give you a closer look at our new ladder.Now, we give you our runner-up and winner.

The Spring Season 2012 is running since the 3rd of January and now it is time to bring a new game mode to VERSUS.
