( I cant reply to your comment on my comment because you need to be moderated… )
I completely agree with you dude… but at the end of the day its all
about the money and this years ESWC is split between CS:GO ( 5 players )
, Shoot mania ( 3 players ), COD:BLOPS2 on Xbox??? This one seems
really dumb to me (4 players ) , Dota 2 ( 5 players ) and FIFA ( 1
player ).
So out of all these games we will choose the cheapest option of course.
*sigh*
The old days were awesome I agree, unfortunately I didn’t get to attend
that comp at Emperors but everyone said that it was the most awesome
competition ever.
I would have loved it if Dota 2 was the chosen
game for this ESWC opportunity and I would have definitely attended to
compete and see our best actually go overseas in a game that we can
actually spectate and have huge support from the community, instead of 1
guy that nobody knows ( well I don’t at least … How popular is
competitive FIFA here? ) going over and then us reading about it later
and being like “meh..”
