Versita Canada1032 Posts July 31 2011 23:09 GMT #61 Thanks for writing this. I have followed competitive SC and WC3 for a long time, but still learned a lot from all the FPS games you mentioned.

Special Endrey Germany1929 Posts July 31 2011 23:16 GMT #63 well when i got some free time i make sure to read it - and big ROFL @ you tl;dr :D

contraSol United States185 Posts July 31 2011 23:20 GMT #64 Great read, thanks for filling up my time between watching MLG matches with some interesting historical tidbits.

DKR United Kingdom622 Posts July 31 2011 23:23 GMT #66 Awesome write up, in regards to people basing judgement on reputation: haters gonna hate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Zechs United Kingdom321 Posts July 31 2011 23:23 GMT #67 I'm so, so glad someone posted this for all the SC2 bubble kids to read. There's a few bits missed out, of course but i think you hit most of the super important ones except for CXG. I feel a bit like this will just be read by oldskoolers, looking to reminisce, but thanks for trying at least ;D

JiYan United States3668 Posts July 31 2011 23:24 GMT #68 great read

Remaker12 United States105 Posts July 31 2011 23:31 GMT #70 I read it. Great write up. Says a lot about where eSports is heading.

Batasoft Norway2 Posts July 31 2011 23:31 GMT #71 Great read, but you forgot another player that have won a major league in Korean. Year was 2000 as well. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Slayer Either way, you can't always write everything.

Tiazi Netherlands761 Posts July 31 2011 23:33 GMT #72 Ive been there since eoLithic counterstrike dominance. Great write-up. Missed a lot from my rtcw - counterstrike background but you have to keep it readable. good job!

StutteR United States1903 Posts July 31 2011 23:40 GMT #73 I just read that whole thing man. Incredible History. Thanks for taking the time to write it up!

Daigomi South Africa4316 Posts July 31 2011 23:43 GMT #74 Amazing write-up. I must say, I didn't realise there was that much money in esports between 2004 and 2006. I hope the advent of easy online streaming and an improved internet infrastructure in general allows esports to become a bit more mainstream and we don't experience another 2008-2009 crash again.

Tidus Mino United Kingdom1108 Posts July 31 2011 23:43 GMT #75 Enjoyed the read but instant mistake, the first ever esports game was DWANGO's Deathmatch 95

rift 1819 Posts July 31 2011 23:44 GMT #76 You forgot Deathmatch '95! (Doom) ...and every arcade competition before that Team USA vs Team Japan :D (I think it never occurred)

EchoZ Japan5041 Posts July 31 2011 23:49 GMT #77 and alot more to come! :D

Ariovist Germany430 Posts July 31 2011 23:51 GMT #78 I really like the write-up. It can teach us a lot of things, really great job!

Defeat United States476 Posts July 31 2011 23:55 GMT #79 Good writeup {: A good general overview of esports. Makes me sad to think of all the stuff I've missed being stuck on terrible internet in the middle of no where for the past 10 years :{

Sweepstakes United States92 Posts July 31 2011 23:56 GMT #80 That was awesome, very enjoyable read. Wish someone did something like this for CS 1.6 only. I still remember coL.fRoD on de_cbble.
