It is awesome and you could pick a worse company to play games from too. They're getting a cool gig doing something most people already do (albeit it better than some) and that makes then fortunate, but they shouldn't compare themselves to people who do the same thing and got there because of real skill (people like Fata|1ty) not because they're pretty, and pretty good.Quote:

CPL needs to offer more incentive for Halo tourneys... $50,000 to a team (add up transportation, accomodation, entry. divide the prize by 5 and multiply the cost times 5 and you've got little motivation to plan your year around Halo CPL even though I'm sure I can win). Pro-gaming is a fairy-tale for the most part.

But these Frag Dolls... they are endorsed by Ubisoft, yet I've never seen Ubisoft mention them ever. Strikes me as a bit odd.
Good thing there's none of that here!Quote:

Yep. You're going to have to bite the bullet & get implants. Sorry, that's just the way guys are.Quote:

But maybe I should :(
Wouldn't that give them more cred'? I mean, if they were payed solely to whore out Ubisoft products, and you've never seen them do so, wouldn't that imply that they actually are a somewhat legit team. If they were complete promotional whores, Ubisoft would have had one of them dress up as Shahdee from PoP by now.Quote:

I think Thresh stopped playing a few years ago. Fatality has a whole computer rig coming out under his name.
Well, some really good clans have sponsors. I talked with Nokia (of all things) about a sponsored gaming clan... but they wanted it for N-Gage Arena =(Quote:

It's lots of money, time and almost no compensation for performing well (winner take all most of the time, if you're second-best you really are the first loser, no silver medals here).
Sl1p's just pissed cuase they're not 12...Quote:
