I have not followed the CPL much but this cannot be a good thing for PC gaming.

Leagues come and go.

'98

QUAKE FINALS- THRESH WINS!
Reptile beat Thresh earlier today. In their second meeting in the finals,
Thresh won. After the match, Reptile complained about the level they played
(DM4), calling it the "cheeseball level." In the deciding final game,
Reptile started off with a 2-0 lead, but Thresh came back to win 5-2,
making Thresh the first ever PGL Quake champion!

The truth is most games just aren't spectator friendly. Unless you're a fan of the particular game and understand the nuances. It's not just computer games though. Paintball has this problem also.

Cheeseball?!?!?! DM4 is one of the greatest levels ever made for any game.

I agree. Red armor. Quad. Lightning gun ftw.

Gotta love those comments, "if you would just bring back CS 1.6"

WTF-ever, people need to get over counter strike.

the cpl has become a joke over the years. Competitive PC gaming is doing very well right now.

The CPL has always been a poorly run joke, I remember when I went to CPL Summer 02 or somewhere around there, horrible event, pathetic and boring. The administrators all acted like children too.

The CPL dying is good news.

If these are the guys that I think they are (from my competitive gaming days of old), they deserved to go under.

CS produced the highest turnouts for CPL and made the company tons of money. things went south when source came out. hate CS 1.6 all you want, but there is no arguing that it was most popular competitive game in the world.

Good thing, because there's people who won in CPL and never got their winning money!
