Stomper John Callaham has an interview posted with Valve's Erik Johnson regarding the new Multicast Spectator mode that will be debuted at the Speakeasy.net CS Tourney down in Dallas, which has just started. Click that link to find out what it's all about. I've had a chance to test it first hand and I can tell you it's very cool and should bring competition spectating to a new level.

And speaking of the Speakeasy.net CS CPL Tourney, good luck to all the teams competing. There should be some intense matches, so we're looking forward to seeing the demos from the event. You can stop by ShackES for full coverage.

[ {sbz} is dead ] [ Saturday, March 31, 2001 ]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Counter-strike clan {sbz} is dead! {sbz} is dead and will
never be back. Sbz has been changed to [DQ] Die Quietly.
So now it is [DQ]GuNSliNGer not {sbz}GuNSliNGer and
I am full with screenshots. I have 60 and I
don't need anymore.
Thanks

[ Fixed Installer Posted ] [ Saturday, March 24, 2001 ]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The downloads page (at counter-strike.net) has been updated with fixed 1.0 > 1.1 Mod
version installers. The fixed installer csv1011b.exe, simply has the
correct version of de_vegas. If you have already updated to 1.1, you do
not need to use this file, instead you should just grab this fix.
Webmasters, please update your mirrors with this fixed file (getting rid
of the old Mod upgrader). Feel free to email me with mirror urls of the
new file.

Also, if you're running *any* of the upgrade files or full files and are
getting a "de_dust cannot be opened/upgraded" (or similar) error,
make sure the installer is pointing to the correct directory. For Mod
version it should be the /half-life/ folder and for Retail version it should
be /counter-strike/ (by default).

Lastly, I'm looking for CS 1.1 screenshots to update the screenshots
page with. You may e-mail me a zip of your shots in .jpg format. Please
no software rendering, and please use at least a resolution of
800*600. Make sure the shots are action packed and noteworthy.
Thanks.

regular Half-Life). The patch, cs1001.exe, weighs in at 19megs.

Regular HL owners, Valve's HL/TFC 1.1.0.6 patch is now out as well,
so you'll want to upgrade with that as soon as you can get your paws
