People should stop b****ing about the lack of tourneys and take a look at their own community before opening their mouths.

The last two times a Source tourney was held, only 8 teams showed up and out of that 8 how many of them were pure Source teams ? Nevermind that, even the pure Source teams got raped by 1.6 mix-pugs. What does that tell you about the standard of the so called Source teams ? And with CGS dead, you fellars are now caught between a rock (CS1.6) and a hard place (CoD4).

Then there's TF2. Similar story, deja vu all over again. The last major tourney before this, only 7 teams showed up. Out of that 7, 2 were "random omg lets just join and play for fun" CS1.6 teams, which meant there was only 5 actual TF2 teams. And the tourney was won by a mix team of pugs that consisted of ex CS & Quake players.

Fast forward to this tourney, what 4 teams showed up ? I lol'ed when I saw the turnout.

Both the Source and TF2 communities have the same classic chicken and egg problem. So you all b**** and whine about lack of tourneys. Then when someone finally musters up a tourney, not even half your community shows up ?

How do you think the organizers will react ? Why even bother spending money, manpower and time on a community that wont even support itself ? Your numbers do not justify why organizers should be running more tourneys for your community when the same amount of resources could be spent else where with greater effect and returns.

Oh yeah sure the timing was bad, the locations changing constantly and a whole myriad of sudden changes from the organizers. At least the CS1.6 community didnt b**** and whine about it on a public forum. Cause they know their community here is a already two legs in the grave and up to the chest, so whatever scraps that is given, they'll have to take it. Beggars cant be choosers.

Bleah.
