    Last weekend - $25,000 on the line for 1st place in SC2.
    One player 'Life' defeats the other 'Flash' ....no craptalk like them tards in COD ...just 'GG' after he lost, then they went and shook hands.

    Proper "Professional" gamers, and the most skilled in the world I'd say.

    I turned that COD video off after 1 minute I got so annoyed, they are exactly how people describe the "xbox" COD gamer unfortunately

    I did watch this with shock and embarrassment but then again you hear tens times worse on a rugby/GAA/Soccer pitch.

    Can you really compare the 2 though ? You are actually in physical contact with a danger of being hurt etc in those sports.

    In E-Sports there is no need for such an attitude.
    Just look at the fighting scene or the top players in SC2 , they are exemplary. The most BM SC2 professional scene would get, would be Idra back in the day...when he'd prematurely rage. But it was never like the above.
    Just because you play a game on a console where you shoot people shouldn't make you any different, especially considering they are representing a team and have actual sponsors on their shirts.

    Had that with Witcher 2, TF2 and a few other games at one point. They need to redownload as there is a different format or some other nonsense. Hence the dozen long list of paused updating games I now have :p

    Francis the rage king is back ranting about the next Xbox needing always on Internet. F U, F U, FU, FU, FU HAHAHA

    PS. Is it true that someone asked the f*cking obvious "what happens if my internet goes down?" and MS replied with "well what happens if you're electricity goes, you won't be able to use your hoover"?????

    Yeah it's not looking good for MS out of the gate, especially considering the Xbox is about their only remaining product that people aren't afraid to admit liking. Then again, maybe this controversy will cause them to not make it always-on.
