^Nice necro. No, really! Because otherwise I wouldn't have found this nice article as I only found coh2.org a few weeks after this was written.
Great article. I am also a fan of EVO, its a very exciting time when it comes around as I get to watch some truly magnificent gameplay - the two games which I enjoy watching the most during EVO are Street Fighter IV and Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, despite being terrible myself at the games. Its amazing to see how EVO has come such a long way from its humble roots, to the huge event that it is now today, with much more room to grow. I hope that CoH2, and indeed the series as a whole, can gain such recognition and grow into a huge community of competitive players and spectators.
The latest SNF really suprised me. It really did. I was enjoying it a lot! It really felt like I was watching a huge SC2 tourney game or EVO match, the same feelings I got from witnessing crazy and exciting moments from the aforesaid events were again being felt as I watched SNF. Despite the issues CoH2 has at the moment, all the games that were cast, were very entertaining and action packed with each having its own fair share of awesome moments spread out between each game. The great commentating from Ami and Yoink, as well as their reactions, also added to the experience. Now, try and imagine a cheering crowd in the background.
This is a video from EVO 2004. I literally just got shivers watching that video again, hearing the crowd roar as Daigo manages to make a huge comeback! I know that CoH/CoH2 have the capability to induce moments of similar grandeur to the above video (although its a tough one ) and I only hope that one day, it gets big enough to warrant a venue and a roaring crowd in the background. It may never get as big as the likes of SC2 but it definitely has potential when you see how great of a success SNF is.
