GTR Evo @ WCG'09 - Believe in change?!
Yes we can? But not without your support!

Yes we can? But not without your support!
The World Cyber Games is pretending to be the Olympic Games of e-Sports. I visited the Grand Final in Cologne this year and and can honestly understand that it is a dream of every gamer to win the World Cyber Games at least once! I would be even proud just to compete there once in my lifetime, but that has not been possible until now. I say, until now!
After more then five years seeing Need for Speed and Project Gotham Racing at World Cyber Games, I definitely want to say that this is enough for me now. Why do they need to pick two arcade racing games at the biggest eSport event in world? An event that should representate the entire "e-Sport thing" to the outstanding world. Do you want to see Counter-Strike 1.6 and Source in World Cyber Games next year? No!!! And I think the same for the racing games, even though I know that NFS and PGR are not the same games at all.
However it is actually the same thing for me: cars driving 1on1 into the walls and the fastest wallrider or crasher will be the winner! Let's mix it and bring a racing simulation game into the WCG and you will see that it is a totally other thrilling thing!
To be honest, I like NFS in a way too, and I would definitely miss it, if there won't be arcade games in WCG future. But the thing is, that i do not want to see them twice in such a big tourney. There is the possibility to get one simulation instead and it would even fit perfectly due to the fact that they will choose two games for each genre each year.
Anyway, now it is your turn - you can change the esport world and help my dreams come true!
Vote here now, please!

All I am asking you for is to choose "GTR Evolution" as one of the racing games, and it is your choice which arcade game you want to see next year in Chengdu!
Thank you! [:

Nice reading.
It would be a great thing, if GTR Evolution gets more votes than NFS.
sim racing is nice..but rather boring, coz its like in real life.
drifting etc. is more fun to watch :-)
trackmania is a cool eSport game...but why u cant crash ur opponent car -_-
NFS is crap. Only wallriding the whole time. Your video makes me quite angry lecho.^^ It is the same wallriding as in U2, MW, C ... And Undercover will be the same c....
;) !! I wanted to vote for CS female but NOPe :( wasnt in the choice.. >:(
