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. |

Yea and I think quake scene isn't really expanding ;( Sucks so hardcore coz quake is such an amazing game.

League of legends? lololol...
Stoked about the starcraft part :D

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.

Yay. Glad to see another IEM coming.
|
WHAT? LoL instead of QL? What is happening to this world...
|
five different continents...mm
europe asia north america south america Oceania ?

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.

at the end of the day people are going to do what makes them the most money. quake is a great game but it is just dying and really it was inevitable. I would much rather see QL then shitty LoL

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.
