There’s an ongoing relationship we’ve established with the ESL, and we’ll be working - this year - to create a tournament,” Wilson tells me. “Look for big things from Company of Heroes 2 and ESL partnership in 2015.

Wilson points out. “There are lots of big plan for the franchise in 2015 and beyond, and we’re excited to head in the direction that the fans are asking us to go in.”

thanks to Con!

big things like the ESL CoH2 section being shut down and purposely pissing off the person who maintained it for over a year.

It's cool that they plugged Imperial Dane, Generals Gentleman, and Roemo at the bottom of the article!

A hint that they listen to the criticism or just PR-talk?

Permanently Banned

This article was most certainly written by someone who either hasn't played the game or played the campaign and a few comp stomps.

guys lets try to be repsectful to fellow human beings regardless of how we feel about them.

Failure is always an option.

It's a happy massacre?! (yes, yes it is!)

Caffeine illegal for WiFi's to ingest in 48 states, 2 colonies, and 1 providences.

To make most awesome thing in universe combine Bears and Nicholas Cage!

STOP BEING EXCITED ABOUT STUFF YOU CAN'T TELL US!

I'm personally fed up with it and can't be excited anymore even thou I will be when I'll see it.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

LOL!
Sorry I found that funny

I think you would have done a great job and it could have been a great promotion for the game and competitive play...
Is there a way you could perhaps join SNF and promote that, or are you finished with the game?

There are no other RTS games?

Seriously tho, COH2 has come long way since release but most of great things that have happened to COH2 should have been there at release or were fixing the mess caused by some weird decision making Relic Devs have done.

Depends how hipster you are.

RTS market, well, except SC2 and CoH2 is as good as dead.
