cnFrag.com has apparently learned from WEM staff that the event will drop CS 1.6 and Warcraft III in favour of supporting LoL and Starcraft II.In another blow to Counter-Strike 1.6, World e-Sport Masters staff have apparently told cnfrag.com that the game will be taken off the tournaments ranks in order to make way for the ever rising League of Legends and StarCraft II. The move follows World Cyber Games who also decided to take CS 1.6 off their list recently.
WeMade FOX were the last team to take the World e-Sports Masters title in 2010 after downing 
SK Gaming 2-1 in the final to take the $22,000 prize for first place. In 2011, WEM announced that the tournament was postponed until 2012.
No official statement has been made yet however although it's expected to come in the upcoming week.

CS > ALL ffs
The game that keeps e-sports alive is SC:BW but failed to expand worldwide.
Now SC2 and LoL are the driving force of e-sports while CS is dying in a year or two (unless the butthurt 1.6 fans start supporting CSPromod)
SC:BW has the highest player salaries, best living conditions for players (teamhouses, something almost unheard in CS although it's much more important to have than in 1v1 games), broadcasted on TV, most tournament prize money given. Most importantly SC:BW has an organization that keeps it in tact, something unheard in any other game - that's the Korean eSPorts Association - KeSPA.
You can tell me whenever an other game has this things.
Also Quake Live barely managed to impact the e-sports scene as Quake 2 did.
Dropped the most played FPS game ever made in eSports?
why cs,why THIS GAME!?
LOL,DOTA2 and other alll the crap is alive but best is ...
no offence to other players and game..
