The second category in this year's Crossfire Community Awards is "eSports". Our cosy community has reached a point where most of the userbase have ventured into other games next to Enemy Territory and with the new Crossfire 4.0 just around the corner, it's only logical to set our sights on the bigger scope of the world of eSports. The following awards are meant to define exactly what is hot in eSports right now accoring to the Crossfire community. The first of our eSports awards is probably the easiest one, the game that made the best impression on our community - bar ET of course. The event of the year gives credit to the best organized, most hyped or most important LAN of the year, spanning all games played competitively. Moment of the year is especially about those highlights that stuck with you, be it ragequits, impressive wins or news that shook the eSports world. To conclude we give praise to the best movie the eSports scene has put forward this year. It doesn't matter what game it is, the idea is to award the movie that has managed to thrill even gamers that never seen the game before.
Can't wait to vote for samAel :P
December 18th : Fourth category nominees.

1) SC2
2) DHWinter

As for the SC2 movie, I think it was damned good!
The movie is nothing special ^^
10mil+ players
while ET has probably not more than 1k players (probably even less)
even if i can understand that it's about esport and other shit, but still
mind is blown
get the numbers right :F
MIND = BLOWN.
Perhaps your idea of a 'shitty WoW movie' is different to the other 2.6 million that have watched it, but I stand by it as a universal representative of WoW at an eSports level.
I haven't seen Dorftrottel. I'm sure it's a great movie, but it's not here. I'm sure that to some people that feel that there are better SC movies, or better CoD movies, but these are the ones that the panel chose, and these are the ones that you have the option to vote for.
For starters, WoW isn't 2D. Secondly, the fact that you find it boring does not reflect the opinions of millions of others. The vote will reflect what users consider to be the best and if the majority think that there is a glaring omission then perhaps a mistake was made.
To be honest with you, I think the fact that you think the panelists are retarded is a pretty good reason for me to think you are, in fact, massively retarded. Newsposts like this one take weeks of work to get in a position to publish and writing the newspost itself took Krosan and I the entire afternoon. If all you see in this 2,500 words+ of BB code is that the "panelists are retarded because they didn't put in the movie I like and instead they put in the most popular WoW movie of the year", then yeah, you basically are retarded.
About that panelists thing. First off, congratulations on spending so much time on that newsposts. I never said they are retarded cause about the movies, watching the nominees of the last years makes me think some of you arent really thinking about who they nominate, e.g. sqzz (?) was nominated last year for Most Overrated and Most Underrated player, doesn't really make sense to me. Also it looks like you mostly nominate the most recent stuff, not the good things from 3/4 year ago.
As for nominating recent stuff, that's true to an extent and it's human nature. The more recent things are freshest in our memories and therefore stand out more. We try to keep a selection from the year-round and I think that we've done a pretty good job of it.
oh and pls reply to my PM :)
Panelists are free to nominate anyone they like and it's not surprising that they vote for admins as (some) admins are volunteers who contribute a great deal. Anyone can submit news, articles, columns, journals, forum topics, movies - not only admins.
Kamz is not a panelist.
Your pm deserves no reply.
If admins are Members, why do they have special rights then? I cant submit Main News, and the news is the reason why most of the "members" are nominated imo. Casual members should be nominated there, not admins.
At least one good point.
ok.
You didn't realise that you could post news?
I realised that I can post news, but normal members can't post MAIN news, as I already said..
2) either MLG Providence or DH Winter... can't decide :(
3) IdrA ragequit without a doubt
4) Cooller 2010/2011 (his lg aim gave me a boner !)
mSx movie?Nice joke...Low edit movie.
And the guy with the biggest hype was Swifty this year.
What i want to say is that i would have enjoyed a pve movie or an awesome machinema like Tales of the past more.
e: Almost fell asleep watching the wow movie although I love rogue pvp, maybe because I only played this game until patch 3.5 :D
A pve movie would be better imo.
I randomly played with him in 5v5 LoL ranked, but I already told you I think ;D
ATHENE THE BEST PALADIN IN DA WORLD :D
-cod bops, what says esport better than bad fps played on console for millions of dollars
Esport Event of the Year 2011

Esport Moment of the Year 2011
- Riot announce $5,000,000 prizepool for Season 2, scrub pub game with huge marketing department so more scrubs can buy heroes and hats
Esport Movie of the Year 2011
- [WoW] - Reckful 3 , very popular game esport movie
these are my picks, 2011 good year for esport
quite sad to read about such trash here, tho what to expect, twitters and facebooks are already here, more hits
I get the point but the name is just confusing
Either way, these are eSports awards. Not everyone is interested in other games that aren't Enemy Territory, but some people are, so these awards are for them.
and i understand that this is esport related but wow doesnt have that much esport (even if its the most evoluated mmo in esport)
i might explained myself badly:
the game isnt as hard as the others you mentioned
thats why i called this stupid move
starcraft (for example) is much more popular in esport even if there is less players
when i was still in wow i was playing for rank 1 and got multiple glads and got no chance to get invites in big events because there was just no events, except for blizzcon and mlg iirc
and I'm pretty sure that there is no serious esport in wow
