Are you watching the CPL?

No.

Whats CPL?

yeah. to google i go....

cpl: Thecpl.com

Its a logo?

why would i want to?

CPL = Cyberathlete Professional League

pro gamers get together and compete for cash prizes. games include CS, CSS, Painkiller, etc. more info on site www.thecpl.org or something

dont have time, i would rather spend my time on making my mod :)

Yeah i think ill leave the gaming to the gamers.

I develop games.

with the ocassional stopover for some Warcraft 3 :P

I think it'd be awesome to get paid large amounts of money playing games competetively. Due to the success of gamers such as Fatal1ty, what with his own brand of gaming hardware, I think that's a pretty sweet gig. :)

I personally am not watching the CPL, although I will download the videos after it's done.

sport Audio pronunciation of "sport" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (spôrt, sprt)
n.

1.
1. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.

and that's why :3

"Pro gaming" is a joke. Sure you can make money, but it ain't no football, basketball, baseball.

CPL would b something fun to play in, wouldnt waste time watching it, its not a sport. its not on tv where I am.

noone cares about football or baseball here either, but its still sports.
just because its not on tv, it doesnt mean its not a sport.

but tbh, esports is something totally different from "normal" sports imho... but esports sounds just better then ecompetition eh? ;)

so quit beeing too picky about everything :P

I watch it like someone interested in football(soccer) would watch Champions League.

well yes and no, Im follwing the cpl but watched the ESWC :P

No.

Ridiculous... Games aren't Sports. They are 2 different words with 2 different meanings, look it up in your dictionairy!

Having competitions where players can win money will not take the fun out of gaming. Has having profesional soccer leagues taken the fun out of an under 14's competition? Or playing a game of soccer during lunch time?

Gaming is becoming big money, same as pro-soccer has become. Why do people usually watch soccer on TV? Because they follow one of the teams, wanting it to do well, chearing them on. OR they enjoy watching 2 teams of people battle it out using team work and skill. Both can be applied to pro-gaming.

The only difference that can be applied is the rules of the game, what the objective of the game is and that the players arn't running around.

your gay:devil:

:devil:

Yeah! PowersGaming won CPL Summer CS:S! hah, they went 19-0-0 in CAL-Invite Source..

in my opinion it is skilled but not as skilled as physical sport, as physical sport takes preperation outside the game, i.e physical fitness. Wheres as games just take preperation mainly in game.

Is football a game? and is football a sport? so whats the difference between a game and a sport?

.....

And in football, all you do is kick a ball around, how can that be hard? and we could go on and on like this forever...

is running and kicking to a ball anything special then? wow... that's two things, AT ONCE! woooow.. amazing...
