With Season 5 kicking off, CEVO's TF2 division returns with 8 teams.

This season features some major changes, with the most prominent being the reduction of matches per week from 2 to 1.

CEVO|Clay has also announced via the CEVO Website that:

The new community items are banned in this season since their effect on balance is unclear. All other unlockables are allowed EXCEPT FOR THE SANDMAN.

Being both a Source player and a member of a community largely based around Counter-Strike: Source, it is hard not to notice the almost constant flow of communal negativity. As a community, we have made up our minds about the growth, function and life of Source.
 
Apparently, it is dead; I am not so convinced.

Counter-Strike: Source, to put it truthfully, is an online gaming phenomenon. When it was first released on January 7th 2004, it exploded off store shelves and into the PC’s of hundreds and thousands of whiny, lonely teenagers.

After its initial buying craze died down, it steadily grew till about 2006/2007, where it boomed again with the giant Championship Gaming Series (CGS) competition. Regrettably, CGS was made well before it’s time, and after the Series' demise, CS naturally slowed in its growth; however there is still a steady rise in its playing populace today.

GotGames.com.au is happy to announce the return of the GotGames Counter-Strike:Source one day competition.

The competition will be a 32 team open competition, held on Sunday, the 13th of December. Registrations will be opening 30 November at 8:00pm AEDT. Registrations will close on the 12th of December, although registrations will most likely be full before that date.

There is no entry free for this competition, thus no prize money. The sole purpose of the one day competition is to give teams an opportunity to prove themselves worthy of a GGCEVO invite and give other teams a chance to become familiar with the CEVO system ALL matches will make use of the CEVO CMN anti-cheat system.

The first 32 teams with 5 ready players (on the ready roster with SteamID set in CEVO settings) will get a spot. There will be 8 groups of 4 teams; the top two teams of each group will consequently progress into single elimination finals.

You've heard of Batman no doubt, but if you don't read comics, it's conceivable that you might be unfamiliar with Arkham Asylum. The iconic psychiatric hospital is essentially Gotham City's Alcatraz, and it has housed just about every villain Batman has ever tangled with at one time or another. Now, thanks to Eidos and developer Rocksteady, Arkham is also the setting for a great third-person action game in which the lunatics take over the asylum and only you can stop them.

As Batman, you not only get to go toe-to-toe with thugs in fast-paced punch-ups, but you also employ satisfying stealth tactics, play with great gadgets, solve some remarkable riddles, and do a decent amount of detective work. In short, you get to do all of the things that you want to when you don a Batman costume in a game, provided you weren't hoping to get behind the wheel of the batmobile.
