CGS

Gemmwah:
Okay, I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread made about it yet, but CGS has been going on since the 6th and is carrying on until the 14th of december.

Here.

The World of Warcraft Dell Invitational has already been and gone with "wts skill" winning the $30,000 prize for the 2v2 arena championships, and "Pandemic" winning the $10,000 prize and a bunch of the new WoW XPS edition Dell laptops (which look pretty awesome actually as I was checking out the basic specs last night).

The individual championships started today, CSS is on now (00.10 gmt) and there's still DOA 4, Project Gotham 3 and FIFA 07 to go.

The live feed is up on the website. I sat up for hours watching the arenas last night, because I had nothing else to do and it was pretty cool.

So, Championship Gaming Series.

Your thoughts?

KvP:
I never understood competitive gaming as a spectator sport. Honestly, who actually had more fun watching their friends play games than they did playing the games themselves? Even if your friend is really really good as no doubt the competitors in a tournament might be?

Plus, I have a strong aversion to the "cyberjock" stereotype of the hyperactive 12-year old slamming mountain dew and honing his skills hour after hour while using leetspeak and as much un-PC language as possible. It's one of the many reasons I hate Halo. That sort of thing probably wouldn't exist without it.

Storm Rider:
I also consider professional gaming to be a monumental waste of time. Not only is it silly to watch people gaming when you could be playing a game yourself, but also Counterstrike can go ahead and fuck off. I don't want to watch people playing an ugly, 10-year-old game.

I think I might have mentioned this, but I've played against Fatal1ty before. scores were 14-0 or so after two minutes. The guy's insane!

Didn't he only die like once the entire time he played Doom 3?  He won everything, but I think there was some big ruckus because this guy managed to kill him.

thepugs:
If I remember correctly he has his games, and is good, but not the best or anything.  For example, there is at least one person who can totally destroy him at Painkiller.

His Wikipedia page has some pretty old stats, so really I have no idea how he's doing these days.
