[Ins0mnia]

Wouw, eSports is growning and growning. ESL added Go4Firefall tournament in which you can win EACH month 10.000 euro or 10.000 usd! (depends on where you are from)! That is pretty insane!

Have you guys ever played in an Esports tournament? How did you do it? did you or your team win anything?
Would you play in a 5on5 FPS MMO tournament?

Hey look this 1 dollar = 1 euro bullshit has actually worked out well for the EU for once:P

Damn, Firefall becoming an eSport-viable game would be pretty damn sweet. I haven't PvPed in the game yet as I enjoy the casual PvE ATM, but it does bring a lot of attention to the game which also means there will most likely be more money for updates ^^

R5 is one of the few MMOs that are taking the whole esport thing seriously enough to delink PvP from PvE changes so it's not surprising that people are gravitating toward it.

Not sure why this needs its own thread considering there is already a thread for Firefall.

It's still boring as shit to watch.

TF2 is a teamwork-focused game that requires a lot of teamwork to get anything done, and yet it's still engaging to watch because it's so fast-paced. Firefall is slow and, at least from a spectator's perspective, pretty anemic.

Also, the girl characters apparently don't feel like wearing any clothing.

Looks like NA players are getting ripped off on their winnings.
