infinite-SpaceCadetsco_who would have thought that esea might die quicker than hl
HL has been the thorn in the side of 6's since the beginning. That idiotic game mode has attracted way more new players because it has such a low learning curve as compared to 6's.
6's is clearly the better game mode for top level play, its not even debatable. HL is really just a joke but they eat up the new player base because playing in a pub is like playing HL.
Imagine the 6's community with the HL player base folded into it. We would have several thriving divisions.
Gimme a fucking break - the circlejerk 6s community dug its own grave years ago with it's closed mindedness and lack of support for new ideas. Newer players didn't like the game you created - period. All the casts, kmart esea lans, comp guides, noob mixes, et al did little because the format itself was unsustainable. The only thing that kept it going as long as it did was UGC and the explosive growth of highlander. If someone had the balls to seriously merge the formats into prolander and not shat on everyone elses efforts and blamed UGC for your own failures you might have gotten a couple more years out of it.
Lange worked up a great deal for all you kids at CEVO after bitgate and you shat on his efforts and stuck with a bunch of crooks over a kmart LAN for the circlejerk. Now Sigafoo (dont even know him) is the only one of you that has the balls to put his money where his mouth is and try to keep the game going and bridge the gap between 6s failures and HL's popularity. But guess what? Your all shitting on him as well.
GG boys and girls glad I left at the peak and enormous success at UGC :)
OK first, infinite is partially right. The 6s circlejerk is still closeminded. The slow death of this game doesn't make them think that 6s is the problem? "No it's just HL it's easier for noobs." Ok, while that is true have we not thought about simple economics/psychology here??? It's pretty easy to grasp. HL is more appealing to the newer player (so yea it's easier for noobs, I'll give you guys that) but that doesn't mean it should be outlawed. So if HL is in more demand, has more players, (although it is mostly F2P, which contributes a lot) then why do we keep supporting 6s when it has less players, less demand, and the only serious league is a pay-to-play league right now and everything else is basically viewed as a joke (besides PREM in EU). It just doesn't make sense at all, 6s is killing the game it's quite simple. BY HAVING 2 GAME FORMATS IS THE SAME AS HAVING CEVO AND ESEA. Literally it is splitting the community apart. If people really cared about this game THAT much they would say fuck esea and just go play UGC or some HL league. I'm sure if some good players talked to Forn they could easily work something out to create a prize pool. No offense infinite tho u weren't the greatest admin and an asshole sometimes. sorry bud :(
