"...in the near future where relatively equivalent prizing will also be on the line."
Future tourney confirmed?
No it's doublespeak. Relic will more likely than not drop support for the game. I don't see how their grand esport experiment which took them like over a year to start after being announced is profitable. They barely get 1k viewers if that anymore.
The community is tiny even considering the size of the playerbase which is decently large thanks to all the Steam sales.
Relic should do a few more patches to fix OKW, bring other factions into line, and then
leave the *#%*%$ game alone. Yes, it's a poorly optimized input-lag fest with bad pathfinding but apparently that's better than anything they've been able to do to improve the game in the last 2 years.
They should redo their essence engine or license unity when they release DOW III because after having made a good engine in vCOH, they somehow made it awful in COH2.
