The History

I've played Counter-Strike 1.6 for about 3-4 years now. I used to play on an HP that was running an AMD processor, wireless mouse and keyboard, and had onboard graphics. I was so terrible that I would just play in public servers all the time. Then after I got a new computer that would run [Counter-Strike] 1.6 great, I went into playing CAL and CEVO competitively. I played with a couple of friends' teams in CAL-O to get me in the competitive mood, then later I participated in CAL-IM and CAL-M. Later on I wanted to play another game so I found out about Day of Defeat through Steam (I had the game installed without knowing it)and started playing in public DoD servers. I went into a CAL-M DoD team that knew I had no experience but that I was GREAT at holding a spot and killing them [the other team] all :). Then after that season they broke up and I went to a CAL-IM team. Sadly in the beginning of the season DoD 1.3 died in CAL. So now I just ESEA pug with friends and live life.

My very first computer setup was very bad like I said earlier; it was an HP with onboard graphics and a wireless mouse and keyboard. I could barely drop a 20 in scrims, but now since I have my godly computer, I wreck the people that I play against ^_^ [Says C-Low in haughty grandeur there...]. Also my setup is a basic setup so when I go to LAN, I don't have to make any big adjustments to get all my settings in order.
