Unfortunately true, but still, it's the only way to get decent games :\ On August 29 2012 23:22 BeMannerDuPenner wrote: in what way monopoly? i have zero clue of cs leagues so what keeps someone from just hosting a nice tournament? also IF go takes if in the rest of the world couldnt the americans just jump on whatever the rest is playing? It's a monopoly because nobody else has started a league (afaik). CAL folded because when they started they had $50 million or something as funding. By 2009 they had nothing. Running a league is expensive. If MLG picked up GO it would certainly help fuel a free league, but there aren't any other big players. | ||

There is technically nothing stopping anybody from hosting a 'nice tournament'....but all the good players are already deeply involved in esea-ran tournaments which have shit advertising and shit production from a spectator pov, because they only exist to serve the paying esea customers, because thats all esea cares about. MONEY. You have to understand the history of cs. cs was HUGE before esports was anywhere near 'profitable'(still isnt really), and torbull ran team3d which was one of the best teams in the world for a while. when the CGS came around, all of americas big teams put all their eggs in one basket and it failed miserably, leaving a sour taste in tons of important people's mouths. Thats why big teams like EG and complexity have been reluctant to push csgo, because they just dont want to get burned, but in reality they got behind a shit business model with shit planning and did themselves in. thats why torbull has given up on team3d and is completely focused on his little money making machine(esea). | ||
