Now that Ice Climbers have dropped from the EC due to lack of activity / players, what does this mean for the wider 'Team Game' community. It seems that 1v1 is taking over, and probably due to the fact that money is involved, does this just bolster the fact that a lot of people are playing only for money?

Personally i find teamgames more interesting than 1v1 games, and i also think that this would be the same of the 'general public' i.e. those not connected with gaming. Consider that the following of normal sports is usually based on the team sports rather than individual. Where are we going? The wrong way? This gamer thinks yes.
