i however see no major issue with it because i also am too lazy to use brackets in my equations!
not
Odd that prize money is only paid out to third place with such a high prize purse.
it's funny how the majority of people posting here haven't taken into account the legitimacy of the tournament and are instead gaping at the prize purse
I'll be at AEF during this "event" :D
but to get cod anywhere near professional there need to be more of these events
maybe the first cod teams could even go professional then, there aren't any yet right? unlike cs
I got inside informationzz
and otherwise it's unlucky that such a shitload of money is to be spent by some unprofessional idiot
Official announcement up
Good news ;)
