New world record for Counterstrike kills in 12 hours

Can you beat 518 kills in 12 hours of Counterstrike? I tell ya right now, I doubt it. (Use that for motivation.) You'd have to get through Björn "Threat" Pers, first. See the rules in the press release--that will give you your practice routine.

A new record was set at DreamHack Stockholm on Monday 15th June for the"most kills in Counter-Strike (Valve, 2003) in 12 hours". The record is518 and was achieved by Björn "Threat" Pers (Sweden) at DreamHackSummer 2009, Jönköping, Sweden. This new record will be shortlisted forinclusion in the next Guinness World Records Gamer?s Edition to bepublished in Spring 2010. The Gamer?s Edition 2009 is already availableand can be found in all the good bookstores.

Gaz Deaves, Gaming Records Manager at Guinness World Records, said:
"Counter-Strikeis one of the most enduringly popular online games, and players likeBjörn are constantly striving to push themselves to new levels of skilland achievement. With such a strong pro gaming scene in Sweden, Iexpect to see plenty more Swedish record breakers in next year?sGuinness World Records Gamer?s Edition"

Christer Körnbäck, CEO at QPAD Pro Gaming Gear, Organizer of the record attempt said:
"Ihave organized 1on1 competitions since 2004 and Björn "threat" Pers isone of the most skilled aimers we have encountered. I think we have agreat record here that will be extremly hard to beat."

Björn "threat" Pers was thrilled with his achievement:
"Iwanted to make this record hard to break in the future so, although myfirst goal was 300 rounds, I finally went for 500 rounds in total. Bythe end of the attempt I was exhausted and my body was very tired. Itwas worth it, becoming a part of the Guinness World Records Gamer?sEdition is something every gamer dreams about."

If you think that you?ve got what it takes to beat Björn?s record? Then the rules are:
1. Have to be played on the same map: QPAD AIM map.
2. 12 hours.
3. First to ten wins the match and meet the next challenger (King of the hill)
4. The player with the most rounds during 12 hours has to beat a total of 518 kills.
5. Players are only allowed to change ingame settings.
6. Counter Terrorist skin have to be used on both sides. (So both sides have same visibility)
7. No "duck" bind on mouse wheel
8. No scripts allowed
9. Freezetime 0 sec
10. After reaching 10 the result screen have to be pictured in combination with detailed written documentation.
