Counter-Strike Game Officer Announced!

It’s been a long time in the decision making process, but we are pleased to announce the appointment of Root to the Counter-Strike Source Game Officer position!

Root has been with us since the launch of our Source server and during that time has shown an exemplary understanding of our style of play and overall guiding philosophy. Being able to understand the core values of our Professional Counter-Strike (PCS) standard is not always easy. PCS can seem both liberating and restrictive at the same time, and the key to understanding what you should do and when you should do it always boils down to being focused on your objectives. Root has demonstrated his capacity at understanding and managing these complexities and putting PCS and the overall health of the server before personal popularity.

I would like all of you to assist me in supporting Root as he refines and shapes our Counter-Strike servers in the weeks to come. For old and new players alike, Root is the ideal candidate to bring back the true spirit of PCS of a reincarnated game with the new Source engine.

Congratulations Root!

Jesus, Apo... that was really, REALLY well written. Easy on the eyes and states exactly what needed to be said.

From one to another, many well-earned congratulations to Root. You're best qualified to fill this very needed role. Best of luck moving forward.

Re: Counter-Strike Game Officer Announced!

Its well deserved. Root is a machine when he's smacking around the nubs. Root is to CS:S, what Wyzcrak is to NS.... that's huge.

Congrats Root.
