> Counter-Strike is played by two teams with five players in each.
As someone who played CS from the first beta, this is a convention that started with certain competitive leagues but was never a hard and fast rule. Most maps don't play very well 5v5, but that format took off because it was harder to organize more people at once on IRC.
This could have been fixed with matchmaking, but I suppose the toothpaste was already out of the tube.
