>"this dude thinks Quake Live is great"

at no point in time was anyone whose head wasn't shoved as far as possible up their ass ever interested in hearing your uneducated opinion

I remember having an argument with a console player who said that you'd be able to aim just as well with a controller as with a mouse and keyboard - until he saw me play quake for the first time.

The western world wasn't ready for large scale esport tournaments and maybe it still isn't

game that is extremely intimidating

If it fails in MLG and they drop it, you end up damaging the community

The community that is still here can no longer fill a 128 slot tournament, even when there is a cash prize.

A good e-sport game is a balanced, spectator friendly, exciting game that can be played competitive.

Bejeweled, many players, shit game.
Quake, small amount of players, great game.

If e-sports games were based on player base, you'd be seeing ESL doing MW2 on the 360, Bejeweled, CS:S, and DOTA.

It's about the game, not the players. ESWC in 2008 saw like 5 players per qualifier. And it was probably as small, or smaller, the year before, and the year before that. But they kept it. Why? Because people love to watch Quake, it's an exciting e-sports game that people adore.

ESWC went bankrupt for supporting Quake

Quake Live lacks spectator friendliness? Why is it that the QL finals for ESL brought in as many viewers as last years ESL CS finals? And Quakecon saw 2000-3000 people watching the CTF and 1v1 finals?

Delusional. A statement like this only screams how either narrow-minded you are, or how much of a troll you are. Both of which are spawned from lack of intelligence. ESWC fell under for MULTIPLE reasons. Location, lack of advertising and pulling in sponsor money, etc. ONE game brought them down? Are you really that stupid? There's no way someone can be that stupid. But, you've proved me wrong.

even the best player dont have a winrate over 65% in korea (please correct me here if i am wrong)
