June 8th, 2010Man Plots Against CS Rival and Gets 2 Years
June 8th, 2010A French Counter-Strike player is sentenced to two years in prison for plotting an attack to kill a rival Counter-Strike 1.6 player last November. Julien Barreaux, who is from Cambrai, France, spent six months plotting the attack by showing up to the victims home and stabbing him in the chest, only inches away from his heart. Barreaux has been recommended to undergo psychiatric tests and anger management therapy by the court.
When he eventually found the victim, Barreaux knocked on the guy’s front door, then “plunged a kitchen knife into his chest” when Mikhael opened it to greet him. He missed his heart by an inch.
A local police officer told the courts “Barreaux was arrested within the hour and told us he had wanted to see his rival wiped out for killing off his character.”
The judge, who locked him up for two years on a charge of causing grievous bodily harm, says of Barreaux, “You are a menace to society. I am frankly terrified of the disproportionate reaction you could have if someone looked at you the wrong way in the street.”
Quick Reactions, Fragile Bodies
June 8th, 2010Note: This study or any variables involved can not be confirmed by CompLexity Gaming.
Dr Dominic Micklewright, from the University of Essex conducted numerous physical and psychological tests to see if playing computer games could be defined as a sport.
The tests came back that gamers had traits that are comparable to real athletes. They reacted to visual stimuli almost as fast as fighter jet pilots. However, their fitness levels were very low and made them seem older than their actual ages.
Someone of this age should be much fitter, but perhaps this is the occupational hazard of the professional gamer who can spend around 10 hours a day in front of a screen. It is always difficult to say how these things will develop, but it could have long term health implications such as an increased risk of heart disease. Screen time with children has a very strong correlation with childhood obesity and risk factors with heart disease later in life. – Dr Micklewright, University of Essex
Dr. Micklewright was very surprised by how close these gamers compared to pro-athletes with reflexes, but shocked to discover the health results.

PG2: coL.cs vs Underestimated
June 8th, 2010Postgame
After a delayed start due to some ESEA issues, the match finally got underway. coL dropped the pistol round on a team ace by UE after some sound team work. UE was able to pick up the following rounds, however the rest of the half proved to be all compLexity as they battled back behind some great fragging by Thomas “ThoMz” Garcia to make the score 10-5. In the second half, dboorN grabbed 4 frags with the USP to secure a much needed pistol round for coL. Because of this, the momentum continued and coL was able to roll over the veteran-filled UE team with a final score of 16-6. Good game to both teams!
Pregame
Tonight, coL.cs looks to put together back to back wins as they take on Underestimated on de_nuke for Week 7:2 of ESEA-Invite Season 6.
