Yea let's sit around doing nothing and whine about there being shitty maps. Hoping for someone else to fix your problem is never going to work. Time to take action. | ||

We need to figure out the details regarding the venue, costs etc... but stay tuned, the official map list will be posted here soon!! I don't think any of the teams that have signed up for your tour are considering an airfare budget to participate in the finals. It's kind of misleading not to have mentioned this possibility in the OP. | ||

If you are going to have LAN finals you should have stated possibility when talk first came of the event, if you run LAN finals after teams from abroad that would never see any point in sending a team to lan finals for a small prizepot then IMO its a kinda retarded move my2c | ||

No Lan finals = NA, EU and SEA teams can participate Lan Finals = only NA teams wants to participate for the reasons FXOpen, Nazgul and Dahornn mention i'm pretty sure the NA only teams wouldn't go to Europe/Asia too if the finals would be there, trust me everyone LOVES and prefers a lan finals, but for the prize of flying your whole team + the prize pool it can't really work lucky ESEA seems to be flexible with what the community/teams prefers | ||

Too many pretending that people aren't going to flood the league with registration just because some teams can't participate, the fees are too "high", maps "suck", etc. yawny yawn yawn that being said it'll probably be online anyways | ||

And, I mean, people are paying without being sure if there will be or not a lan final. I believe that even some top teams can't pay people to go anywhere they want. | ||

Also believe ESL helps with travel? Or is that IEM. I think most peoples problem is that some teams have already signed up and now only being told that there could be a lan finals. Rather misleading. | ||

Rather misleading. for that reason it'll in all likelihood be an online finals, but next season there will be an increase in prize pool (this is a pilot league remember) and an offline final. This is how they implimented CSS so I don't see them changing their MO @ smokim: the difference is that everyone in this game seemingly wants a handout because I see plenty of 5+ player teams, playing for even less, travel to LANs. CS....CSS...COD.. I suppose my real question is: Why can they pay and we can't? | ||

Personally, I will never stop gaming and going to gaming venues will always be a pleasure to me. I always go to it with the best intentions of winning, a lot of times I haven't even gotten close to winning. But the best experiences was traveling to that place and having fun. It's like a vacation, I've spent so much time and money in gaming that it's worth it to me to do this. This is one of they reasons I spend 20 bucks per GSL ticket, I LOVE watching them play. If you don't want to risk 9 dollars to play, and to have a chance to maybe come to america and have a good time, I don't know what you're getting out of gaming. ESEA is one of the most promising North American leagues EVER, it has been around for at least 6 years and it is still growing. If there was to be a big lan event leagues like GSL or ESL, ESEA is on the right track. | ||
