CPL Winter 2001 Final - NiP vs X3

NiP beats X3 in the Grand Final of CPL Winter 2001

Game 1: 12-16 @ de_nuke
Game 2: 13-11 @ de_nuke

X3 came from the lower bracket and had to win two games. The last overtime round and the last two rounds of the second game are missing. This is a converted CS 1.3 demo played with CS 1.5.

Crazy to think that it was 18 years ago and I still remember it. CS 1.3 was awesome. So many legends in this game that would dominate the scene later on : Ksharp, Rambo, Heaton, Potti, ahl, vesslan etc.

I do have to admit as an OG. This was an epic matchup. I can't believe it was 2001. Flashbacks of LAN parties.

One of the best if not the best match up of all time, amazing game, thx again bro, brings back memories

[oneactoneda]

I think Potti deserved the first ESL hall of fame. He was way consistent, stable and nutty than Heaton for like 5/6 years in competitive CS. Heaton been nerfed and not really doing that good since 1.6 back in around 2004 when the spray pattern had been changed, horribly. I must say he was just doing really great during 1.3-1.5 but not in 1.6 while Potty stats were still way consistent than him

15:30 4 mans Nuke boost !! NA pre-Olof boostmeister in CS v1.3

[alexanderglad]

amazing match! what a skill for 2001! cs 1.3 was so lively version

[Sticheg]

It feels like x3 were more skilled than nip, and more aware of the game I would say.
I mean ksharp was on point (the first half at least), they did the boost on the roof, they were wallbanging successfully, had some really nice shots...
I am not from NA but I was cheering for the guys and felt bad for them when they lost.
Anyway, it was interesting to watch, thanks,
Ancient CS!

Crazy how we can watch CS demos 21 years later in full hd, but Valorant a 'competitive' game developed in 2020, after 2 years still doesn't have a replay system.

parabens meu amigo @neo!! grande jogo contra NiP!! melhor IGL do csw 1.6!!! com apenas 12 anos de idade já era um prodígio da sociedade!!

[squick]

Is this the most even, tense and epic match in cs 1.6 ever? or are there others i should know about? Also, is there any way to see the ending?

[gudl-]

Like this boost . Did they fix it later?

[mezod]

hey Ancient, do you by any chance have the NiP vs mTw.GoL semifinal?

[gregomme]

How did the score system work back in the days? I only watched CS GO pro scene and I was playing CS 1.5 with bots bc no internet when I was a teenager...

HeatoN and Potti were the fucking gods of this era.
