firstly punctuation error. should have said Guruskippy highlights it the best, people (at least on this site) ...
secondly you're right I'm not going to force people into doing something they don't want to do but I don't believe that you have to give financial incentives out to get people to play.
You talk about playing weeks on end when it's only one best of three match a week. How is that any different to someone already grinding out auto match games to take some time out during the week to play a best of three match?
thirdly you know as well as I do that it's very very hard to get a cash prize for an online only event. TFN worked extremely hard pushing their youtube content and they used all their revenue for the cash pot. If I could offer that much money every tournament I would but I can't because the money isn't there
finally building a competitive community on financial incentives never works as I illustrated with cnc3 and it also happened with DoW1 and Rise of Nations.
A strong competitive community is where people play because they love to play the game and they want to find out who is the best player, prizes are merely a bonus.
game still works for me, I'm surprised no one has taken it upon themselves to host some events for this game if the auto matcher is in as bad a shape as people claim.
Well the story was based on the book A Writer at War by Vasily Grossman.
A book that to my knowledge has not been published in Russia which makes it a controversial piece of material. Therefore the campaign would illicit controversy within Russia and former USSR countries.
1. The Relic/Sega staff have been very helpful in helping me promote ESL events
2. Most of the sign ups are indeed from social media or long term ESL members, the amount of sign ups from coh2.org is shockingly low.
3. Relic/Sega can't give out twitch partnerships. That's up to twitch who can be most unhelpful at times.
Guru skippy highlights it the best people (at least on this site) aren't interested in tournaments. I wish more people would sign up, it doesnt matter how good you are just take part.
Basically there isn't going to be any esports support unless you guys show you are hungry for it. If I were an outsider it seems that the community isn't willing to take action, just talk about it.
