ESL DBG (2)
 
6%

Why did they change the name ? 6 time ESL DBG champion doesn't sound as good. :[


There has been a sponsorship by ComputerBILD Spiele (CBS), a games outlet of the German tabloid BILD. It has been a slogan for the EPS for some while which has been ignored by the respective game communities (people in the scene have nothing much in common with CBS reader). I guess they try to pander more to the CBS (a magazine known to translate even common English terms into German) or it is part of the sponsorship deal.

Needless to say, many people in the scene dislike the change. But the EPS has lost so much prestige in the last years that former fans have become indifferent about it anyway. However, the ESL claims that viewers have increased in the last few seasons (despite the indisputable decline in prestige) and that the EPS runs a profit, so it probably is not going anywhere.

Apperently there was a second name change now. I like ESL Meisterschaft better than DBG, but still, this will always be EPS to me. Btw., 2nd cup is today.

Haha, at least this name isn't bad. At least it's fully german (like they wanted; still they managed to put "gamer" in the name rofl) and doesn't sound retarded.

I think the new name is good. It states what the tournament is supposed to be. ESL Pro Series didn't make a lot of sense since the Amateur Series doesn't really exist anymore and it's quite generic (Pro Series could mean a lot of stuff).

Would be cool if anybody could update the price money distribution on the liquipedia page. All the price money has been reduced by 50% as far as i know.

its quite unfortunate for the SC2 finals to be played today. The playoffs so far even had an english coverage, but the finals wont get as many viewers as the groupstages...well, i guess they had the weekend set a long time ago.

It's unfortunate, but it's probably hard to avoid, if they hold a multiple game championship. Still, wouldn't hurt to have the finals tomorrow.
