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.

What?!?! They removed Quake Live in favor or LoL? You have to be kidding me T_T I was never a Quake player myself but I loved to watch QL tournaments when they appear at DH and IEM. That's really sad and I believe a big mistake by them. LoL is not a game that's here to stay, its gameplay is poor and it's no e-sport, only reason it's big is because it's free-to-play. I could see Dota2 taking a spot when it comes out, they should wait for that instead.

Quake removed - you are DEAD to me Carmac.

Quake (and Counter-Strike) are the games that created the term eSports in the first place - not Korean Starcraft. The Quake series has had consistent tournament since 1997 when Thresh won John Carmack's ferrari. It deserves to stay.

Not much really, money rules the world today and guess what Riot has to spare.
Still a sad thing to happen, I really like watching QL

Yeah, well I mean... I never really understood these Dota-games as an Esport. I don't find them entertaining to watch at all. They are fun to play and all, but to watch? No. Maybe that's just me though.
