No Dota?
Time to bring up the riot pact with tournament organizers again.
Honorable mention: "WCG is not what it used to be"
WC3 last year was a delight though, got really bad nostalgia from that.

Crossfire is basically a popular Asian FTP 1.6-esque shooter, if I'm not mistaken. It's been at the last few WCGs. I think OGN also has a Crossfire tourney they run from time to time..?

I believe the phrase "They pay for Crossfire to be in WCG" comes to mind.

This post actually made me laugh, like they give a shit if you "boycott" them, lol. The audience is Korea and China, look at the games and the sponsors.
