New Counter-Strike Instructor: Mike Connolly


Mike Connolly is best known to most for his time with Meepins where he rose through the ranks of CAL to become a key member of that online wrecking crew that is Meepins. To ESEA FEL players he's best known for consistantly bringing in big numbers (see right). He's also played with a number of old school CAL-i level clans including ]r3z[. Recently he was handpicked to become the new united5 player but shortly after accepting the invitation he declined it and returned to his home with Meepins. Mike will be offering lessons here at ESEA as an instructor, playing on the servers and uploading pov demos for all you meepins fans so expect to see him around.

Counter Strike - Prodigy Overview

E-Sports Entertainment Association's Moses from the professional American team, TEC, has reviewed every nook and cranny of the Counter-Strike: Source port of the infamous de_prodigy. Additionally, helpful screenshots have been coupled with the writeups of each area as a compliment of sorts.
You either love it or you hate it. Prodigy has been around for ages, but that didn't stop CAL and CPL from taking it out of the map rotation due to unbalanced sides. However, with Source being the way it is you might find that it is more balanced. This might very well be one of the better competitions maps ported for Source.
This is certainly a refreshing change to read from the perspective of an experienced player.
