CPL Does Teamplay
by Steve Gibson, May 23, 2000 4:35pm PDTAs professional gaming is the flavor of the day, CPL has announced 2 more tournaments for this year. Firstly (and most excitingly to me) is a teamplay tournament to be held at the end of October. FRAG4. They prize purse will be about $30,000 cash. At the end of the year during mid-December they will be playing host to yet another $100,000 cash tournament sponsored by Babbages.
The FRAG 4 will be at the Hyatt Regency in Dallas and will take place October 26-29, 2000. This event will be different from all previous CPL events, as it will host the CPL's first deathmatch team tournament. The total cash prize for the team tournament is expected to be $30,000

Team Fortress was what origionally got me started on my gaming career
What exactly is holding back the competitive UT scene? Sponsorship? Seems like the sponsors would support the more popular game...Perhaps UT sucks for competitive play?(this is so near a fact, but i'll still say it's an opinion.)
Perhaps the majority of hardcore players actually do prefer Q3 to UT? I know fatal1ty enjoys the game immensly, but I'd like basketball a hell of a lot more if I could dunk, shoot 3 pointers...etc...
Perhaps the sponsors want to support the more graphically appealing game? Perhaps it has something to do with id/Epic? Maybe it's just tradition to hold tournaments with id games?(doubtful. sponsors don't drop a hundred grand because of "tradition.")
Perhaps Q3 OWNZ?

I realize that there are some people who actually like tourneys as a spectator sport, but nearly all of these guys are yet again "hardcore" fps gamers. Spectators are probably not a viable source of income for such events. Most people I know, including myself, would hardly consider watching flat-shaded low detail games consisting of characters bunny hoping around and exploiting high framerate physics bugs to be fun.
