I didn't realise that I had been following eSports for so long... back when elemeNt was my favorite player and I was watching SK etc.. I have been at ESWC 2006 in Paris Bercy by the way! The most awesome eSport event I have ever been to! This event showed that Quake was THE game that was best suited for a live event. Most of the people who had come to the event were there for Warcraft 3 or CS, but the Quake matches were fascinating everyone with an intensity that no other game has. | ||

There was also the WeRRa scandal which caused SC2 to take a hit in Korea iirc. | ||

Reading this reminds me of how I was pretty aware of early esports in the U.S. but I never got a chance to experience or know a lot about the big European scene. It also is funny to me that I was playing SCBW before CS, yet I was introduced to the CS pro scene first. Someone needs to start finishing thick histories of the major competitive games and a compilation of the failed ones. I would definitely buy a book series on those (♥ Starcraft Bible). | ||

I'd be glad to provide you info for more Dota related stuff. Cause it is a major part of esports despite the lack of big prize tours. Good adition though, gj. | ||
