Has the CPL Been Faithful To Us?

Posted by arsen at 18:36 13/2/2003.

Yet another article has appeared over at gotFrag, this time concerning the CPL and what clans have gained from it.

Steel of Team3D told me how much time he puts into CS on a weekly basis, including practice, scrims, and matches alone (not counting scheduling, mIRC, or any other communicative programs). His answer was, “About 15 hrs.” I asked the same question to the leader of ascension, Masternook, who replied with “about 20 hours.” Ksharp from Team3D stated that he only plays “6 hrs”, but he is a liar, so we will throw him out of the statistics.

It's pretty controversial as the writer (Doc) has some strong opinions on the motivation behind pro-gaming and the CPL, meaning it's quite an interesting read. Click here to read the article in full.

	DoZ Anti-saviour of UKT 18:45 13/2/2003	CPL do have massive sponsorship and could easily afford to up the prizes. Or as other people in other places have said, they can afford to pay the travel and accommodation of visiting teams. Needs more articles like this to make cpl realise that people are starting to dislike 'em ;-) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Benji 01:05 14/2/2003	Is it me or do people sound completely ungrateful, it is a game last time i checked. If u spend lots of time playing it then that is your lookout, dont expect other people to fund your games playing and dont be ungrateful for what prizes there are imo.

	Myers Saviour of UKT UKTerrorist 15:31 14/2/2003	There does seem to be a distinct gap though between money going in and money coming out as prize money. Money somewhere down the line seems to vanish.... [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
