I know that I'm going to get de_stroyed if I join ESEA but I won't regret it, since I know I helped TF2 grow, and know that if I suck it up this season for only like $8 (still not sure how much is the fee for Open) we will probably get ESEA to create more divisions for the EU TF2 scene and so I will join (hopefully) the next season.
One thing that I love about ESEA is that they reward every division winner, Open, IM, Invite, all get paid for winning their divisions, which is awesome and something that actually could motivate you alot.
Also more weeks, more maps, more unlocks, better system.
Hopefully they will take their current map pool :)! (maybe not gpit, but maybe another a/d map, ediface is my choise :>)
I don't mind losing $8, I really don't, I just hope they will create division like IM, Open, Main, Invite, maybe those are too many divisions, but it seems like more teams will start signing up if they won't be matched with Mike, stefan and kaidus in the same division.
To all Europeans there, if you got a couple of spare Euros / Sterlings / Bananas / Keys / Hats, go sell them, get some cash, get into ESEA EU Open, have some fun playing, play against cool prem dudes, play in a new and awesome system and support this growing eSport.
You can't say you never wanted to be like b4nny or Platinum typing in chat:

Killing, we will sign up, we will lose (not the Prem dudes) our dough, but we do this because we love the game, and we want more divisions, I can agree that it is a huge risk to open more than one division atm, take example from ESA, at the 1st cup I was excited to play and support, yet it started to become more and more a fight between the Prem teams for the headsets & cash, I didn't mind losing there, but the fact that they're continuing on doing the same thing over and over, and starting to collect fee for entering, that doesn't motivate me to pay and sign up, if ETF2L was a Pay-to-Play system, I would pay, but only if I was put in my right skill level.
Great job overall!
