A lot of technology companies were throwing a lot of money around, sponsoring large FPS tournaments in the early 2000s. QuakeCons, CPLs, etc. Well they both won their money in vastly different times in the development of esports. JD won most of his money from the OSL and MSL once BW was well established in Korea and teams had sponsors, team houses with other high level practice partners, coaches, and a strong esports culture where players could just train all day pretty much. Fatal1ty won his money when things were less organized. I remember his thing on 60 minutes (you can youtube it if you want) when he talked about how he had to set his own schedule, and find his own practice partners. People would fly in and train with him before tournaments. Back in his days you still had to actually bring your own PC and massive CRT monitor to LANs, there was less exposure, etc. However you could argue that BW had a higher overall standard of play than Quake 3 or Painkiller. An Apples to Oranges comparison, but an interesting one no less! | ||

But it is in fact apples to oranges to cats. Different times, different games, different technologies. | ||

Dude what the hell are you talking about I felt more emotions in these last two Dong sets than I have felt at any time in the past two years. I feel totally hype drained because I poored every ounce of my passion into this last series and it was amazing. Thanks to all of you folks for making my experience that much better and I hope you all felt the raw surge of glory that I felt tonight. SO PUMPED FOR TOMORROW. Just let the final ebb of today's thread takes its course and we could get to 1300 ^_^. | ||
