    I thought this was something that indirectly affected empires so it warranted general discussion rather than off topic.

    What do you think of this ?

    Take THAT, UK!

    USA! USA! USA! The next contest is coming up in a few months, too.

    Edit: Also, bringing gaming to the mainstream can only be a positive thing, in my mind. (excluding the occasional gamer who dies playing) I'm very glad to read the article. Does anyone know what games the CPL would be playing, primarily? (CS, of course. But what else?)

    Meh, theyve got two dedicated tv channels in S-Korea (World Cyber Games), so what the big fuss over this is I don't now.

    Mostly warcraft, starcraft and micromanagement games, but you can get anything on there that's played competively.

    who follows the world cup, i mean if you have to go "out side" and into "natural grass" to play, who cares? besides AC and soft chairs are good things.

    @ Lobster
    USA: 297.700.000 Population -> 1. place WCG

    but if we look on the EU
    (EU: 456.950.000 Population)
    and collect all prices from the WCG that you will see that europe win the WCG ;)

    so EUROPE EUROPE !!!*g*

    P.S.
    the real winner is Korea with 48.640.671 Population and the 2. place in the WCG
