dude please think all around the world not only in ur country..
maybe in only ur country it has become like this but in other countries its still a bigger hit..
its right that u can get easily bored to play alone this game but since it is a multiplayer game u cant blame on that!!!!

*sigh.. when i see a counter strike tournament on TV, i envy those players who still play CS.. Why does Filipinoes have to play Dota?. it's not that i don't like Warcraft, but i don't feel the excitement i get when i play CS.. *Sigh..

Hmm, it used to be one of the biggest hits here in Egypt about 4 or 3 years ago, but not anymore
LAN games were specially very popular here
For some reason everybody is playing Winning Eleven nowadays, dunnow why, never been a soccer fan anyways
UT2006 is also a very popular LAN game here

i don't think CS will be a hit here anymore. i don't see any computer shop who has CS installed.. but i believe if one international CS tournament that will be held here will change everything.. :D

Aside from winning tournaments.. here in the philippines, CS is being played with a simple bet. Loser pays the winner a certain amount that you both had agreed..

It's not a secret to anyone that video games can provide source of income. But you have to be professional. In my country(Romania) contests are held every week with big money going around. There is Pgl, and other unofficial constests played by clans. One time when I was playing big, there was a server wich paid their top players. So rallymercado if you are still good, you just have to find the best oportunities in you area to play it for the money.
But as time changes games changes, and now i feel like 1.6 has decaded a little bit, and Source is going up faster.

I also think that IT is the best.. but here in the philippines, this great game is slowly becoming a legend..
nobody wants to play this game because they say it's old fashioned.. I don't agree with them but I can't play alone right? where's the fun if I play alone. *sigh!!

I have to agree with you. I was a hard core counter strike fanatic and it took me to places just to play the game. I would play as far as Sta mesa and Paranaque( I live in makati) just to compete. Every provincial and foreign assignment I would look for an gamer station to see the play the competition.
I used to be a regular at Bcon greenbelt and that was the game that ruled for more than 3 years since it opened. However, I may have caused its demise in that shop because I remember getting hooked into DOTA and convinced my pals who were the hard core bcon counter strike addicts to play the game. What happened was almost an over night transformation. What was the last bastion of counter strike finally surrendered its reign to the new king - DOTA.

yup.. that's what happened in our village.. most of the players that used to play CS played dota.. since then, most of the shop owners erased CS in their computers.. that's why noone played CS anymore.. :( i miss the good old days.. :(

Yes, I think so.
Even though it may not be the best FPS when it comes to graphics but what I know is that when I go to play online, cs servers are always full so it means there's still much people playing it all the time... it may not be that good in graphics but still it's the only game I often play for now.
