woooooooooooooooooooah this is quite literally the last thing I'd expect Nada to do. I hope he streams his games. Now all my friends HAVE to acknowledge the existence of World of Tanks -- gg!

So like the Esports rankings now looks like:

1) LoL
2) BW
3) World of Tanks
4) SCII

?

I'm spit balling based on Twitch.TV viewers and past event numbers I can recall.

1) LoL by a massive margin
2/3) SCII
3/2) Dota 2 Very close to SCII so really they could be interchangeable
4) CoD (not terribly far behind SC2 and Dota 2)
5) Fighting Games (can be higher as a whole at major events like EVO)
6) World of Tanks
Everything else Halo, Quake-Live, Planetside, blah blah etc.
BW is dead more or less minus things like TLS

Despite it's massive popularity I have yet to see WoT grab a huge portion of eyeballs, but that doesn't mean it couldn't with proper PR and marketing.

Isn't World of Tanks kind of like MechWarrior, only boring?

I can just imagine the announcers now,
"Team X waits in the western trees and hills while Team Y waits in the eastern trees and hills."
5 minutes later
"Still waiting."

Tastosis would make it awesome.

Seriously, I had a little bit of fun playing it for maybe a month, but then I got bored of it and never looked back. I can't imagine ever watching it because it is so extremely slow paced. SC2, BW, LOL, DoTA, many shooters, and all fighters seem like better viewing experiences than WoT. Unless the game itself changes drastically, there's no way it's going to maintain a viewer base for very long even with millions of people playing it.

I've never heard of this game before. Should we tell Nada there are more options that hopping to new games all the time?

To everyone that has never heard of the game before - if you spoke Russian, you'd probably know all the pros. That's where it was big.

Oh man, that kinda Bums me out, but not because of Nada not playing SC2, but The Last Pride not playing GW2...

GW2 could be an awesome e-Sport Title, but ANet just followed the money and focused more on PvE (PvE Players buy a lot more cosmetic stuff from the ingame-Shop) and let PvP slide a little. Still no Observer-Mode, no Ladder, no way of creating your own Games (how's that gonna work in e-Sports? If you wanna Match up two teams in a tournament, would they have to simultaneously join a Game and hope they get matched up? -.-°) and the balance is kinda horrible.

The Last Pride had already announced that they would play GW2, but they waited to play PvP until it got really good, but after half a year of waiting, I guess they now left for good.

Really sad to see that ANet slowly destroys a game that has huge potential for e-Sports, because although they said that they will focus on making PvP e-Sport ready, they didn't really deliver in terms of necessary features, balancing and overall listening to the PvP-Community.

Was looking for the source and it doesn't even appear in search engines. It's an article on the azubu site titled "World class strategist of StarCraft. Come across in AZUBU TV." Can't be linked.

Wish Nada would just stream more BW on Afreeca and play amateur leagues, but I am glad he has moved on from SC2. There would be too much talent wasted on it.
