SoapDannSo TF2 can't get support their own creators because it hasn't been in the competitive scene for long enough?
This makes no sense.
Dude, the point is that the CS MODS established THEIR OWN competitive scenes. You are missing a major cause and effect if you think that the size of counter strike's competitive nature is because valve added a crappy matchmaking system to CS GO.
Dota as a mod already had a huge scene before valve picked it up.
It isn't in valve's interest to go around finding small time comp scenes and trying to establish them with money, we are talking about two games that were created and played in competitive environments with a purpose from the beginning. CS Source was a big time competitive game long before Valve came along with CSGO (And of course the mod before that).
There's more people if you count both 6s and HL in comp TF2 than their is for basically every other FPS that isn't CS. Take 1 look at the competitive PC Communities for any of the Quake, CoDs, BFs, even Tribes, they're no where close in size to TF2.
