That doesn't make sense though dude, and there's no point inferring that magically this season ESEA is going to drastically change policy that the community has been asking for for years. The community has NO voice in ESEA, and we haven't for a long time that's just a fact. It is, I'm sorry. Maybe this season will change that. Maybe we'll get a public apology from lpkane about his gross mistreatment of his customers. Maybe we'll get the stat system we asked for months ago that an INDEPENDENT UNPAID developer was able to put together. If all the things we've asked for happen this season how will I feel? Happy, and maybe I'll be concidering playing ESEA next season.
But seeing as the last thing I heard from ESEA about St. Patrick and the egregious 10-year ban bullshit was "I'm hoping to have that taken care of today" followed by silence: I'm not holding my breath. ESEA has done nothing but spout hollow promises and CEVO has actively done shit to try to improve as a League. I think at this point it takes much more faith that ESEA will change it's actions than CEVO could be a successful league. Personally, people asking for teams/players to refund from CEVO last minute to go support ESEA instead make me fucking sick. You all do. You ride the wave, because this community is 95% fucking followers. Jump ship on the community that has been actively LISTENING to you for months and trying to build the league around our specifications just because killing says "uhhh BUT GUYS FREEMIUM AND MAYBE SOMETIME THIS SEASON WE'LL MAKE ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUEEEEE"
Seriously, fuck you guys. You ride the wave. But I know better and I've been fucked by ESEA enough, and until there's a definite change in course, I won't be going back. If CEVO dies and ESEA is the same, well then I guess I won't play this game anymore.
