This isn't going to turn into another LoL vs (all other games apparently) thread. You can speak your mind about the selection of games but keep it civil. | ||

Used to play original quake with my family and watching quake live in between sc was great fun, shame they couldn't keep both.  At least we still have Joe commentating, even if its not on quake any more xD. | ||

I can't understand why no other company had taken the effort to create a competitive RTS before blizzard released SC2. Its a great game and I love it, but I think some competition would make it even better. | ||

Germany is a pretty safe bet tho, IEM Hannover was amazing with such a huge crowd.

August 17th - 21st = Week of Gamescom (As in 2010 Global Challenge Cologne) October 8th - 15th = Week of Gitex Dubai fare (As in 2009 Global Challenge Dubai) These two look much more promising. With an NA final (US?) and an EU final (Ukraine again?), we are pretty much up for a surprise for the grand finals. Or maybe NA/EU finals will get switched? Carmac, need more input! :p | ||

Psyched for sc2, but, again, really sad that I can't watch some QL. Especially since IEM was one of the few big tournaments that still incorporated it. | ||

Really hope ESL don't start phasing QL out of the other tournies. Agree here, it might have a giant fanbase, but spectator-wise? I've never played LoL, but I tried to watch it at DH, I just couldn't follow it at all, no explanation either, which was usually the case with QL. I just don't see it as a better game for the spectators, or just a better game in general. But hey, Riot has the money, and we all know what rules the world ;(. | ||

Riot isn't spending all that money beacuse they don't have it they're so new as a studio they can't afford a 100k tourney and all the costs of shipping 6 teams and getting a place there at dreamhack. Its activision though blizzard thats bankrolling lol and its probably going to keep getting crazier and crazier as time goes on. do you mind giving me a link where you got these info? i wasn't aware of it until you posted it. If this is actually true, i don't get why activision went for supporting LoL instead of HoN, which is a game much more similar to DotA. it could be the F2P, and the fact that the gfx recalls a lot of other F2P mmorpg games (so that the game is much more newcomers friendly), but i still have doubts about the whole thing. about BLC, i think it is a game that lacks depth. its limit to a 3v3 match, with small maps and extreme fast actions which bring to a confusing exchange of effects and explosions on the screen. at least this is what it felt to me when i watched a bunch of casted games at DHS. but i admit that every game at the beginning feels like it, so it could just be a lack of knowledge by my side. | ||

On top of that i don't think i've lasted more than a few min on any lol/dota/hon stream or whatever, it's fun to silly around in but as a spectator sport it makes about as much sense as wow imo. Lol numbers at DH will have skyrocketed even if it's "just a link " from their game client. Imagine all the bronzies who'd watch sc2 there if it got linked ingame. ~94% of sc2 doesn't know wtf tl.net is let alone follow it, same for quake (and it's respective community site(s)). It's actually really weird they don't do it for more games, that is add a really accessible stream link to their game menu for high profile tourneys. | ||
