What about Trackmania Nations? Wasn't that made specifically for e-sports?

I want to hurt some one. Were the F*** is source, Quake 4 or Call of Duty 2? Source should be on there. There is no need for two car games, and why are they still playing Brood Wars. WTF. I so pissed off right now.

BioSniper has a spectacular aura aboutBioSniper has a spectacular aura about
Im glad to see that they are actually using a much wider set of games now as well as older games just because they are quite simply better (in their own right) that the newer ones.
It would appear as if they are trying to appeal to a much wider audience of gamers too which is excellent because im sick of hearing about "Fatal1ty" winning all the FPS tourneys all the time. Give someone else a chance.
It would however be nicer to see CS eliminated totally in favour of another game however, maybe then I would actually pay attention to/care about who wins.

::EDIT:: I also find its kinda funny that people are getting angry about the choice of games. Does it in the long run, affect you? Probably not.

Personally I think it's nice to see these games. ALL of them. Yes, I mean 1.6 too. I get tired of the attitude that playing old games is lame. You found them fun once, what happened? So a newer, more updated version comes out, i don't think that that necessarily renders the previous obselete. I honestly could care less between source and 1.6, I was addicted to 1.6, source was fun but ultimately I let it go in favor of other things (WoW/EQ). I LOVE seeing Brood Wars there, brilliant addition. Hands-down imho the best RTS ever. I liked WC3 a lot, but the lower unit numbers made me feel like it was a task-force operation and not all-out war. And it made your micro skills less important to the overall game.

So there's my $0.02.
