We must crush the inferior esports to secure the purity of esports by making it SC2 only.

You should see threads when game X is being forced on a starcraft stream before the finals, making the SC2 spectators think that they are going through some kind of huge ad before the games they have been waiting for start.
LoL finals before SC2 finals in.. was it Dreamhack or MLG? is a good example.

honestly i see a lot of similarities between the types of demographics for sc2 players and tribes players. after i hit masters in sc2 i wanted a nice secondary competitive game that you can spam competitive games but a different style from RTS and i settled for tribes coz of the similar skill ceiling height to sc2 and the "play more get better" sort of thing.
also it looks just beautiful when you run it max graphics on a big screen

very funny, except this is a starcraft orientated site watching a starcraft league. if you want people on teamliquid to understand a random game being played at nasl you need to do a better job than LOL BUT ITS HARD TO SHOOT.

Yes and sc2 finals started 0.30am in local time which doesn't make any sense.

In how many hours will there be Starcraft 2?

I really don't know all that much about Tribes. I played a few hours of pub games as a jug and played as a "heavy on flag" as a doombringer. So when I'm watching comp play I'mm sad when I don't see heavies being played more often. Why is that =(?
Plus its pretty rough to pub on open maps as a jug when u got pathfinders flying all around. As for spectating the game, it really is damn hard to watch. But there are moments when a team desperately tries to defend a flag cap where it's simply makes an epic scene that you could use in a highlight reel.
One of them is using a brute as pseudo HoF right now.

Weird. You think a group of RTS fans would appreciate the strategies used to snag the flag.

Go and educate yourself then. Actually go and play the game. It's free, so you have no excuse.

Every game streamed involves some form of strategy. That doesn't mean I want to watch every game.

Tribes needs a minimap in spec mode. Its really boring to watch otherwise since you have no first person mode to appeciate mad skill shots and you really don't know where any of the players off screen are, which most times is more tan half of them.
It does seem a beastly difficult thing to spec as well.

I'm betting you think SC2 is the pinnacle of skill in competitive video games. LOL

The thing is what we see is not spectacular. I remember when I first saw a sc2 cast, I didn't understand half the words but I was enjoying what I saw (lasers, pew-pew, hundreds of lings... etc. sc2 is fun to watch) whereas right now when watching this I also understand half the words but I'm not excited at all by what I see. It must be great to watch when you play the game, but a good esports should be enjoyable without playing it imo.

So does someone know how close this is to ending?

I agree to this. I think that we can't imagine any kind of Tribes esports as long as they don't make that 1st person spectator view happen.
