Strippers cannot distract Counter-Strike players photo

Dedicated Counter-Strike players are possessed of an indomitable will, as evidenced recently in Russia where a team promoter tried to shake their nerves during a round of the first-person-shooter. In order to put his players off their game, he flooded the room with strippers who did their best to distract the players. However, these hardened Counter-Strike veterans have clearly given up on women long ago, and acted like they were not there.

Even exposing their bare boobs and sitting astride the computer monitor like had no effect. The gamers just kept on clicking like nothing was happening. To be fair, a number of the strippers look kind of haggard and drug-ruined, so they might be easier to ignore. In any case, however, this story is proof that if you play Counter-Strike for long enough, you turn into a psychopath. FOX News must be informed!

LOL! I think those counterstrike players have just developed the ability to multitask... the guy in the picture looks like he's quite enjoying the grope he getting - while still playing! :)

Bleh. Honestly the event looked more hilarious than sexy.

Now get one of those girls grab one of their dicks and we'll see how easy it is for them concentrate.

Or maybe they're just that good at Counter-Strike. :P

I'm pretty sure they're capable of enjoying both thanks to the wonders of the human brain and multi-tasking.

Best CS deathmatch EVER, I'm sure.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're enjoying both. I mean, really, how involved do you need to be for a lapdance? Essentially you sit there and have a boner. It's not like they're having sex.

Some of those strippers do look pretty worn out. It's probably because all of the good ones get sold to rich countries like the US and UK, while the Russians get all the tired single mom / substance addicted ones, since they're more affordable.

They look ropey to say the least.
Not to suggest I'd say no, just that they look like ragged out alley twat.

IMO these Counter-Strike players are doing true gamers proud.

Also I recognize that embarrassed smile from the header pic from a video someone took of me in a similar situation. Sadly I gave in to the feminine wiles; I am not a true hardcore gamer, boo.

I've barely been able to pull myself away from Borderlands in time to go to work, but I sure as hell know if there are bare tits around, my 360 would be off in no time.

And of course it would be Jim who posts something tit related. coughBayonettacough

It's one thing to be competitive in games (in anything really) but these tourney people scare me.

Dude, those strippers look like the kind of strippers that...well...you'd see being desperate enough to actually do something like this. Not really the prime distraction quality.

Aids. Strippers have aids. Counterstrike does not.

@ jim,

"However, these hardened Counter-Strike veterans have clearly given up on women long ago, and acted like they were not there."

It's not that at all. Not everybody in the world instantly prematurely ejaculates in their pants at the sight of a woman like you do, apparently. Personally, I'm not phased when walking into places like a strip club, because I know they're only topless because they want money. That just doesn't do anything for me. I guess I matured at some point.

Making gamers round the world proud.
Not the ones totally ignoring the strippers.
The ones that are multitasking.

If you check out some of the other pictures on the original article's page you can see one or two guys getting a little distracted.

Honestly? I don't think this is that weird if you realize that

a) They probably weren't allowed to touch - which means:
b) No one was gonna get laid
c) Probably not worth striking up conversation since the strippers probably didn't give a rats ass about them in the first place.

And most importantly:

d) The players were being tested during a tournament (article even says so) and these are supposedly two of Russia's top teams. There was no way they were gonna let themselves get really distracted - it was a matter of pride.

Oh, and also:
e) The strippers weren't exactly the most attractive women in the world. :-/

Pacopaco,

Nice, a rational human being on this site who isn't bursting at the seams with negativity. That's kinda rare. Nice to meet you.

And point well said.

I actually agree with runtheplacered. You guys say these guys arn't real men? Well, what would you do if you were there?

Stare at them?

Look what they're being enticed with. If someone dropped a 10 Rubel whore on my lap, I'd shove her out of the way too.

The guys didn't have many options. These are strippers not hookers.

And yeah, they're sort of nasty anyway.

Strippers are icky. Also, I find trying to look away from something you hate is much more difficult. They should have gone with gay strippers xD

I would be ignoring those women too. They look straight up haggard. I hope these guys had a chemical bath after those specimens touched them.

To be fair, most of them are trashy looking and not that hot, as far as strippers go. Not that it wouldn't be distracting, but really, these are the hottest strippers they could get? I'd feel more disappointed than aroused.

Wow, you took one joke sentence and turned it into a po-faced, self-aggrandizing statement. Well done. You are definitely so much mature than I am.

They weren't getting any, so why would it have been worth it?

It's entirely possible that if they looked at them and got a lap dance, they'd have to pay, when they're trying to win money in the first place.

Men that can resist their sexual urges and not completely lose their attention in front of strippers? Seems like a pretty useful skill to have. Let's see how Fox News like "games turn people into non-perverts" or something.
