While at the Dallas film festival, SK Gaming's Carmac has managed to interview the new CPL owner, Sasha Tsapaev.

By the looks of it, Tsapaev will soon become a very controversial figure in the world of electronic sports. Claiming to be a personal friend of Fatal1ty's and an avid Counter-Strike player, Tsapaev suggests that hardcore games are not the future of gaming. He also does not stray from voicing very harsh opinions on different matters around gaming.

I really like his ideas, I do... but i doubt that the current gamers will switch over to a ninento wii. Wii, is just NOT competive, imo.

It's just a rich man with some ideas, don't think he will succeed in what he want's, but gl :)

Well Formula 1 and other racing championships are sports right but the pilots/drivers don`t move much in their cars so why counter-strike can`t be the future or be considered as a sport?

lool, so fake!! that's carmac's work damn him! but i am as aure as that guy that the future of gaming is the console games; they are certainly more popular and less hardcore, CS and warcraft became so professional needing so much training and investment that is impossible for the real true gamers that we are those who game for gaming to participate, and it's really frustrating.

You are talking about him like he would own the trump towers lol.You think it worths 1918490 mil $?I wouldn't pay 1 cent.With money you can make a tournament of your own without any negative history like CPL.
