Just moments ago those crazy Danes The Titans won ESWC defeating spiXel 13 - 11 on de_dust2. This game was tense through out with spiXel making a late come back taking it to the wire. However the Danes stayed calm and took the win. The Titans looked in great form all tornament finishing undefeated. Congrats go out to them and spiXel for one of the most tense and nail biting finals ever.
It was a little shame that HLTV went down for a while, however it was great to see 18,000+ spectators watching the finals. This is sure to be a good sign for CS' future as an e-sport.
Links for the demo will be updated as and when they come in.

each team got to veto 1 map and then they decided between the last 2 or something like that, and most clans must have wanted to play dust2. for the final i think both teams used their veto on inferno, so if a 2nd or 3rd map was needed train and nuke would have been used (dunno how order is worked out) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

They wasted all the good HLTV uptime on the hour and a half of warm-up fgs!
There were like 5,000 spectators after the crash until the end of the game. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Hope that teaches them a lesson to just start the bloody match when both teams have 5 on. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Imagine in the football world cup final if you'd missed the match because both teams were about the night before [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

also d2 is a lame map for pro. clans to play on.
they need new tourney maps. rotterdam would be better than d2. most/all new maps since 1.0 have been s***. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

dont be such a tard, its a hell of a lot as far as e-sports goes (unless theres a hell of a lot more watching wc3 etc in asia then i dont know) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

its alot for an e-sport.yes
a hell of alot more people watched/cared about the curling at the last olympics (and thats just in the uk). more people watch family affairs everyday.
in my opinion cs is (sometimes) fun to play. but to watch it is incredibly boring and will never appeal to the casual,non-obsessive gamer. and it will neve appeal to people who dont play [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

SpiXel played SEL Season 6 only, with the current lineup. And in comparison to the other teams they are extrememly recently formed "bomber". [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I quit cs a while back, but i watched the final. Along with listening to vesslan and co. on shoutcast it was comparable with euro 2004 in terms of excitement (12-11 into last round). E-sports as a spectator event can work. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
