CS Manager – Portugal [Release + i-View]

Como foi noticiado o mês passado aqui no FRAGlíder (FRAGbit) o lançamento do CS Manager em Portugal será dia 27, já na próxima segunda feira, e o FRAGlíder foi conversar com jorgo, um dos seus criadores.

FRAGlíder|m0x: Hello jorgo! First of all, thank you for your time. Could you please introduce yourself to our community?

jorgo: Hey! My name is Jorgo and I’m 21 years old. I live in Stockholm and I’m one of the three creators of the online manager game CSManager.

FRAGlíder|m0x: Thank you. Now, tell us a bit about CSManager. Many of us have heard about it, but I think not that many know exactly what it is.

jorgo: Basically it’s a football manager game with a twist. Instead of managing a football team you will manage a CS-clan. Through different sections you can manage your players, finances, staff, tactics, matches and so much more!

FRAGlíder|m0x: Do you think CSManager can be seen as a faithful reproduction of what happens in real Counter-Strike, or at least of what real professional Counter-Strike managers do?

jorgo: Yes, We are always trying to be as close to the real game as possible. Of course the game is not 100% like the real world but close enough.

FRAGlíder|m0x: I see. Do you play CSManager yourself?

jorgo: Yes, but it would have been unfair to play in the normal league system with the “deadly” users so we have decided that no creator is allowed to participate in the league system.

FRAGlíder|m0x: What is your favourite aspect of the game?

jorgo: That has to be the 2D-live and tactics part. This function gives the game extra depth as you can see graphically how the game went.

FRAGlíder|m0x: Being a player of CSM myself, I have witnessed some significant changes in the past months, including some great additions like the Vacation Manager, or the max PCW warning, along some significant improvements in the game engine. Can we expect any more important changes in the near future? Can you name a few?

jorgo: Of course, We are improving and developing the game all the time. As time goes by new maps will be added, national teams will be created and so much more.

FRAGlíder|m0x: Well, that brings us to the next question. As you know, so far the only available map in the game is de_aztec, and most of the players are anxious to see the other maps being integrated in the game. When can we expect that to happen?

jorgo: We don’t have an exact date but we are aiming on adding a new map within a few months.

FRAGlíder|m0x: Also, as has recently been announced in the CSManager news, a Cup will be played amongst the existing clans, envolving real prizes, worth something like 500 euros. Can you give us some details on that?

jorgo: Cups that appears every now and then gives the users a chance to show to the community that they are the best. The 3 best clans win nice computer-related prices that are sent to their homes.

FRAGlíder|m0x: Ok then! I’m looking forward to see that! Now, as we know, CSManager will be released in Portugal in the end of the month, so let’s talk a bit about that. What made you choose Portugal?

jorgo: Portugal has always been very interested of the game and we have thought of adding you long before this but we didn’t really get the chance until now.

FRAGlíder|m0x: Can we see CSM expanding to further countries in the near future?

jorgo: Yes, we are planning a world release within a couple of months

FRAGlíder|m0x: What expectations do you have for CSManager in Portugal? Do you think the game will have the same sucess it’s had in other countries?

jorgo: I really hope so. I would be wonderful to see the Portuguese national team fighting for the gold medal in the nation’s cup that will be played in December.

FRAGlíder|m0x: One of the things I’ve seen a lot more often than desirable as a CSM player is that new players tend to commit the same basic mistakes over and over again. Do you have any advice on that to the future portuguese CSM players?

jorgo: My advice is to read as many guides as possible before starting to take actions. All the help needed to be read is on the right menu when you are logged in.

FRAGlíder|m0x: Wise words indeed! And now, for all those who missed the english classes, will CSManager be available in the portuguese language as well?

jorgo: We are aiming to have the game fully translated to Portuguese for the release.

FRAGlíder|m0x: Well, all of us at FRAGlíder expect the game to have great sucess in Portugal, and we whish only the best for CSManager in the future. Any final message to our readers?

jorgo: Yupp. Don’t forget that the faster you register (after the game is released) the higher league you will start in.

FRAGlíder|m0x: Once again, thank you for your time, and for this interview. Vi ses!

jorgo: I should thank you for letting me be interviewed. See ya in the game

Adicionalmente, o FRAGlíder anuncia ainda em primeira mão que, e como forma de promover o jogo no nosso país, o registo de jogadores em Portugal (e apenas em Portugal) será grátis. As inscrições abrem dia 27 por volta das 14:00, e tal como foi dito na entrevista, quanto mais cedo se registarem, mais alta será a divisão onde jogam.

Boa sorte a todos!
