This is episode one of two about sickness's career. sickness was playing in the very earliest days of competitive CS, back at CPLs where it wasn't even an official tournament title yet! Playing alongside names like Chamleon and Rambo he played fifth-to-sixth at the Babbage's CPL in late 2000. The team sickness was the iconic leader of was riot squad and he finished fifth with them at the Speakeasy CPL in the spring of 2001. Later in the year he found himself teamless for the big CPL Winter 2001 often cited as the first CS major and would play as the sixth man of X3, NA's best team. In 2002 riot squad were one of the better NA teams, managing to finish second in the CAL Invite season famous for TSO going undefeated. At CPL Summer 2002 the team cracked top eight. At CPL Winter 2002 they would go one better and finish seventh, notably beating vesslan's esports united team in the lower bracket. sickness continued to play on and attend the occasional CPL but his interest and activity in the game had waned after that. In part one, sickness talks about the earliest CS LANs, big names like Chameleon and Rambo, establishing names like Lektrik and Jaden on LAN, releasing POV demos and why MMORPGs were a scourge on the competitive scene.
