The very first Cup *Update: now with Aequitas*
As many of you probably already know, the CS Promod BETA version 1.04 was released last Sunday for public testing. The new version was highly praised by critics of the earlier versions. The mod is now an almost perfect copy of CS 1.6... in HD.
To help the developers to test their mod and of course to get a feel for the game, we are going to host a few cups. Okay, for most of you it's probably just about kicking ass.

Update:


because of the feedback we have received from the community we have decided to change a few rules for the upcoming cup.

1. Aequitas
We have decided to make Aequitas mandatory, even if there are small known issues. The main functions should work anymway. It is important that you use the standalone version of Aequitas and NOT ESL Wire.

Download Aequitas standalone: http://www.esl.eu/de/csp/download/590704/

2. Servers
If a dedicated Server is available, then the dedicated server must be used. If you do not have a dedicated server of your own, you ask for one in #esl.csp on Quakenet. There are a limited number of servers available for the cup.





Anyway, it doesn't matter what your motivation is. If you would like to compete in one of the very first Cups for the CS Promod ("CSP"), you can sign up today.
The rules for this cup are kept very simple so that you don't have to worry about all the rules and enjoy the game more. Only the very basic rules apply:

General Info
  • The Cup will be a 2on2 Cup
  • Two Maps are played
  • Mode is MR12
  • Please remember to play all 24 rounds of a map.

For each Match you must upload:
  • 4x Roundscreens (Screenshot of the Scoreboard, one for each side of each map)
  • rcon status screenshot
Date and time: The Cup will take place on the 6. February, starting at 15:00. The amout of slots will be adjusted corresponding to the applying teams.

For this and probably the next few cups, it will be allowed to host a Server on your local computer. We decided to allow this, because there are not that many CSP servers around. This way every team has the possibility to host a server. Each team hosts one map per match. If you would like to play the whole match on one server, you can do so. But only if both teams agree.

You can find a short tutorial to setting up a CSP server on your Windows computer as well as the required server settings here.

Anti-Cheat:
Aequitas does not officially support CSP yet, but it works anyway. At the moment only the standalone version works with CSP. One of the known bugs is that the config files do not appear in the Aequitas file. Because we don't know how well it really works, Aequitas is not mandatory in this cup. But if you want to prove to your opponent that you play clean, feel free to use it anyway. You can download it here.

We are working on getting CSP support for ESL Wire.


Your Admin Team. We <3 CS.

Hey but do we have servers ? ;D
My team has a very good server :)
Any team that would require servers for their match is free to contact me.

We currently have 15 free servers that can be given out for the cup at the same time.
Hm are there any Germans who offer the same as aXoTi. ? Its very kind of you axo but the ping must be very high :|
aXoTi., maybe you could post the IPs so that the players can test their ping? :) Maybe also post how the teams can contact you?
Here's an IP you can ping to:
85.190.2.254

Routing to the server is perfect, Germans should have a ping smaller than 20-30.

The servers are based in Frankfurt, Germany. The teams that need to borrow a server can just send me a PM.

Please start the cup next time when it was scheduled! And make it public more then 1 day ago that you postpone the cup. There were some ppl. who had on 7th Feb. other matches and especially EAS matches. So pointless how it had been done. Anyway...nothin' to say any more. :/
