Both had been nominated for Korea. But it seems as more people at NiceGameTV (where the official poll took place) voted for Moon than for your favorites .. :)

does evan's style of writing piss you off also?

that kid tries so hard :/
Parent
▼
evan 17 Jul 2008, 17:36
In what way do I try too hard? Secondly, I'm actually older than you so 'kid' isn't really appropriate.
Parent
▼
fusen 17 Jul 2008, 17:43
The way it reads makes it seem like you try and go all out with the typical over the top story telling. It's like you WANT to be a journalist so you write how you think you should instead of naturally letting it flow.

And you are 4 months older than me? so the fuck what, I can still call you a kid, as long as I don't bitch when someone calls me a kid then it's all good.

It's just because you don't have an active connection to the ESL / eSports Award page. Just visit one of them and you can see the images. (I copied the smaller ones already to one of my webspaces :D )

nuggan 16 Jul 2008, 19:25
my gawd, go Sweden tidde (:

In Counter-Strike I'm hoping for Sweden f0rest obviously, he's been good as always, but it wouldn't surprise me if United States of America n0thing would take it, he has been insane.

'2007' by Fragbite should win the journalist award; http://images.fragbite.com/img.archives/2007ibilder/003.jpg

"People have said that you (SpawN) and RobbaN let NiP down when you left them."

"People have said that RobbaN is gay, don't believe rumours. We didn't let anyone down as far as I know."

need mystic and ferus!

ps. nice article evan, though... ironic or not, writing how mystic doesnt speak at vent sounds kinda stupid.

The opening paragraph needs reworked (blame yer editors !) - but yeah, a good article.

What's the use of adding a one time award :(

I hope you're not implying CoD4 as the one-time award! ;d

Sainted 16 Jul 2008, 23:11
Actually I do, I mean by this time of next year we will all be looking at Call of Duty 6, which I speculate will be another modern warfare title running on the "Call of Duty 5 engine"...
Parent

evan 16 Jul 2008, 23:27
Even if that were true, the franchise has steadily grown on its own merit. The players could all move onto the new title and proceed further.
Parent
▼
Sainted 16 Jul 2008, 23:30
My original argument was backed by that there were no other "Best of X Game" awards listed, but then I noticed the listed awards are just a selection of the total ones :P

Consoles Player of the Year: The Nominees < This Nominee is illogical and stupid.
Firstly, how can you compare DoA4 player to lets say Halo player, different games. Secondly, what if Ogre2 wins player of the year nominee, but doesnt win Halo3 player of the year? nonsence
