they get free marketing by calling themselves the olympics of esport and the world champions of esport and they both suck compared to PGL for example.
WCG has many lowquality teams and players that you dont want to see. both WCG and ESWC are overated crapevents with bad schedule and no double elimination. And why make the tournament for only two days(this ESWC)? Its just to make it easy for themselves because they dont care about the spectators. semifinals in Counter-Strike were played ontop of eachother. Same goes for all the quarter finals. Really nice you think? There weren't that many great games in last WCG either.
Boring piece of shit events imo, that could've been so much better.
btw. could you please tell me just one thing that is good with WCG, that no other tournament have?
not at all xD
eswc is the mother of modern esports tournaments!! moreover wcg is a lot more after the money, carmac stated that in an interview on readmore.de, EA games buys a slot in the WCG for C&C and other companies for their games, although theiy aren`t real "esports-games".
ESWC is more for the true esport and their fans. wcg is a lot more casual(which isnt bad either)
It's about the tournament format, the stream / coverage. ESWC was horrible this year, who gives a shit about C&C / guitar-hero really? It's not like their taking the main-stage or anything. And that point is irrelevant seeing as ESWC took dota.
well they both need to make money, the wcg sell the gamespots, the eswc the location and their crts, thats how it work
tbh i dont give a fuck how MAAANY crap games like any ea game will be played at the wcg, i ll enjoy my fav part of the wcg, the good games and the true esports
i know there will be good games, amazing atmosphere, amazingng live coverage, propper monitors, a great event all in one
@dja
the wcg IS the olympia of esports and that is the reason for many low quality teams, thats is just how olympia works
eswc on the other hand try to be the olympia of gaming and still need some time and money to became it
eswc was a good gamign event in the past years and will be once again an amizing event 2009, but thats it, "only" an amazing esports event, not the olympics of esports
the fact that ESWC was over so quickly surprised me abit, and i also think that if it would take four days or so, the tournament woult gain more excitement, as all players and spectators wait so much for the finals... dont know, i think grubby is right there
WCG>>ESWC
It's like the olympic gaming festival for me, this year in Seatle was so great, i mean the stream, the shoutcast were so great in 2007 imo, I hope cologne can do even better.
But tbh, ESWC wasn't that good this year tbh.
