You cannot compare the biggest league in Europe which arranges more than 25 events like this every year with an event that comes only one time per year into your country and might be the ultimative event for all. Another annotation:

ESL had one of the biggest stands on Games Convention this and the last years and had more than 50 000 spectators on their ESL Intel Arena just in 2006. You should read TosspoT's article on http://www.ggl.com/news.php?NewsId=3908 to get a short inspiration what ESL, GIGA, NGL one, Kode 5 and all the other organisations in Germany made only for one event (we have many more events like this every year). I dont want to say anything against the atmosphere and the importance of your ESCW qualifiers in your country, but eSport in Germany is, compared to other countries in Europe, just on another level what many of you probably did not recognize.

Let's stop that fu*** contest to beat each other again and again ... events like this are important for the development of eSport all over the world
