ESEA is good actually, it's not a ladder but its ranked. The problem is it would take like half a year to not get tooled on all day. | ||

It's a great game but quite frustrating and single player.  | ||

FPS: CS 1.6 Call Of Duty. Ladder wise in 1.6 it does have them now since ESL season 1 just started but its a 5v5 ladder. If your just looking to play a lot of pugs or scrims just buy ESEA(even though i hate there servers and it doesn't reg!) its fun  | ||

quake cs street fighter IV trackmania (cant play that in euro :<) the thing is, games that actually reguire training are rare, and they aren't very popular. Starcraft is your best bet if you want a competitive game. Or quake. Trackmania has a lot of players and stuff, but i dont really like it =P | ||

Hmm, a fighting game for the comp would be sick. Are there any? One with a ladder would make me cream my pants. | ||

Oh there's a ladder for DotA (garena, the iccup of dota), but I found the game to be pretty repetitive. Sure there's a fuckload of heroes you can play but it lacks in depth. I'll look into kar rider, It'd be pretty cool if it's anything like Mario Kart (wii version had a ladder but the matchmaking was pretty broken, GAH I'm beeing too picky.) | ||

It's already been mentioned but if you haven't given it a shot, try your hand at Go. It's a blast, the community is a billion times nicer than the starcraft one. Tons of people that are willing to help, and very few unsocialized kids who feel that their "skillz" are the only thing that matters in life. You'll have no trouble at all finding experienced players who are willing to go over your games with you. It's a little harder for most people to jump into than chess because it's so open ended (unlike chess where most of the time even a very new player can find a few moves that look good), but I think it's easier to get decent at, doesn't require a lot of memorization like chess does, and the community is just outstanding. Yes, yes, joseki is memorization, but you can be pretty dang good and not know any joseki if you have solid fundamentals and know how to read. | ||

Qlive is also tremendously fun to watch in first-person view. It doesn't look nearly as impressive as SC does, but I still found myself shocked the first time I loaded up a demo. Of course Quake has frag videos, which I think most would say are >>>>> SC videos. I wouldn't say at the low level it has a comparable learning curve to SC, but it is probably more frustrating at times. Personally, I've decided to come back to SC because you can actually listen to music in SC without suffering too much for it. I'll save Quake for when I only have 10-30 minutes to play. | ||

You beat me to it! I was going to quote my blog about NetStorm. NetStorm is the closest RTS I've found to Starcraft in terms of competitiveness. I've found that most Starcraft players take to the skill required to play NetStorm. There's a decent learning curve and the skill ceiling is as fast as you can be (like SC). There is a ladder but the player base isn't huge, or at least people tend to take extended breaks, so the ladder isn't nearly as large as iccup. Anyway, I'd highly suggest giving it a shot if you want another RTS. | ||

That game is so complex... as you play and play any given map, there's always something new to learn about the correct strategy in any given situation. For example, I play on the map Bridge Crossing exclusively, and I'm always learning new tricks of how to use the map to my advantage. Give it a try. It's got a fairly steep learning curve, though. You understate its learning curve...it's suuuuch a complex game in general...): | ||

Warcraft 3 - obvious choice here, like sc but warcraft. Dawn of war - more nooby version of warcraft, which is a nooby version of starcraft. But actually quite competetive since there are alot of noobs out there. Also i think its imbalanced??? Cs 1.6 - the most competetive shooter. Is quite similar to sc in some ways, such as the bm/crappy mods/hax you will encounter. I'd assume this is quite hard at top levels since it's been around for as long as starcraft. Guitar Hero- Quite possibly the only micro based game where you dont use a keyboard. Fun game too. 200 apm guitars zomg! Dota- mod for warcraft 3! I guess this is quite competetive but ive never played it so i can't tell. You could also try out other competetive Korean games such as lineage, lineage 2 and kartrider. Lineage 2 has more subscribers than WoW apparently, which is quite a feat. | ||

Here's a pretty fun video: The guy's tag is Gosu. You can't go wrong. Honestly I never went serious with this game since sc > all, but when you start reading about high level movement skills it becomes as technical as a good fighter. The graphics aren't spectacular but that's hardly relevant. No hate, but if your problem with sc is playing lazily, just pick it up =P Fast-paced games can invigorate where slow-paced ones make you tired. | ||

There used to be 5v5 (5x 1v1, sort of) tournaments in Korea but I think they stopped because there's very little technique in 1v1, and Koreans are carebears when it comes to PvP. | ||

I had a friend who used to be part of one of the top 3 teams in the world in GunZ and he said it became flooded with hackers so he quit. Love this game! Not sure how competitive it is, though. | ||

There is 4v4 svs league is ongoing, 6v6 smallpub league is finishing is in semifinals already, hockey league just finished, trench wars leagues (3 of them: 8v8 basing, 5v5 wb, and 5v5 jav), and others that I can't think of off the top of my head. The diversity in gameplay is pretty big. | ||
