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!

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
Best CS deathmatch EVER, I'm sure.
Not to suggest I'd say no, just that they look like ragged out alley twat.
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.
And of course it would be Jim who posts something tit related. coughBayonettacough
"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.
Not the ones totally ignoring the strippers.
The ones that are multitasking.
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. :-/
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.
Stare at them?
Like a real man?
And yeah, they're sort of nasty anyway.
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.
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.
Besides, if they stopped playing, so would the strippers!
