3 players who are probably absolute shit by the standard of today

it makes sense not to have Q3 in korea, smart move by ESWC

Yes, they will get 200 koreans playing starcraft instead of 15 people from around the world playing q3. Very smart

are you trying to be ironic?
200 people for a game everyone loves with a ton of superstars with fanclubs etc etc against 15 people for a game they've probably never heard of and don't give a fuck about

SC should have as many events as possible (outside Korea) since it's the most skillful esports game ever.

ESWC would be perfect with Q3 + SC + CS.

Fuck WC3, newb game.

i'd rather watch w3 than CS ...

I have completely no idea what's happening on the screen in WC3 when two armies face each other. I played the game quite much, not on a high level though, and still it's too fucking colorful for me. It's boring like hell as well, 15 vs 15 units + 2 heroes on each side and for 99% of the game no one dies.

CS + cast is good :) not Quake or SC level, but still more exciting than WC3.

I have no problems with seeing what is happening there, and CS i much more boring for me than w3/sc

KekS - Reply to #7

indeed, it should be starcraft + cs + q3 forever
add 2 local, temporary titles for a year or two but keep these 3 - ongoing great competition, spectator-friendlyness, high skill level and everything that could possibly be needed (gtv, hltv, streams for sc are essential)

One of the local games will almost certainly be special front or special forces. It's a Korean made cs type game that 'borrowed' some animations/models/etc from the half life mod front line force.

There is no q3 scene in Korea. All they show on the gaming tv channels are SC/WC3, the occasional special force/front game, and once every blue moon cs will show up.
