Sure, WoW is a game, but like pong it's not a good competitive AND spectator friendly game, I'm sure the majority of ESR'ers will at least agree on that point :)

It's a game - Personally I'm not a fan of it (speccing or playing) but it has got events behind it and seems to be doing well...

And yes, I too would prefer to see Quake action.

Yeah, we should stick the 7k q3 tourney and leave the massive money support "not q3 game" out.

Get over it.

Great prize pool. Looking forward to following the tournament. Just wish they would have included a better game than WoW. DotA, WC3 or preferable Quake 3 of course =/

Excellent!

Glad to see that amount of money in competition, and sponsored by Intel!

We're definitely making progress =)

(Except for having WoW in there, go roll dice somewhere else)

WoW is hardly a game, more of a digital version of crack-cocaine.

WoW players are failed gamers that suck at everything else.. for WoW you only need to have time to waste, no skill involved.
they aren't competitive by any mean.. so their interest in this would be little

Not even WoW players really care about WoW pro-gaming.
