I don't take kindly to people who just discovered competitive gaming in the last year or so taking shots at something they were never around to experience and can't even begin to understand. LOL. Get over yourself, yo. No one gives a fuck what you take kindly to. User was warned for this post | ||

Eventually someone will buy the brand and hopefully rebuild it from scratch. WCG just didn't keep up with marketing and broadcast production quality. If a company, that knows how to run tournaments and broadcast them, picks up the name, I'm sure we could see a successful comeback. MLG, go for it!  | ||

Its a shame that it went down so far the last years, but we should remember wcg for what it was in its prime. | ||

Or how in WCG 2005 they used a Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War patch that was over a month old and only existed for less than a week. (The game was quickly patched again as several unintended changes accidentally made it through that they reverted). I ended up playing only mirror matches with the two OP races I barely had touched since mine was no longer tournament viable with how broken the game was. The strategy still netted me 2nd place but I was so frustrated to lose a month of practice and think I could have possibly won the USA finals if they had not have used a bugged/broken patch. (Note: Dawn of War had 9 different races in total). The USA part of WCG has always been so horrendous... but it was the only consistent option in existence for RTS gamers. Such a squandered waste of potential and never something that could have raised e-sports to the next level even if it hadn't continued to become more of a joke year after year. I am sad to see it go as I do also have many found memories of it as well and I quite enjoyed the competition when I was younger. But I am not surprised and think this is long overdue with many more professional organizations having come about. On a side note: I suppose this means there won't be a 3rd season of WCG Ultimate Gamer. I know I'm likely the minority in this sentiment and the show wasn't about serious competition but I still found it oddly entertaining. | ||
