people don't play a game for the community, we're not an mmorpg.
Unlike TF2, CF doesn't get any significant patches, just content patches which is why this game is bad. Also, TF2 has a way better engine than CF will ever have, so it's not as horrible. -
I support, If z8games would make an announcement about the cf competitive side more people would join us than stick to being a pub star or a farmer. A lot of people don't know anything about the competitive side. Tired of playing the same team every day.

Getting a tonne of band wagoners who want a "good client" at any costs even if it means not actually knowing what esea is/how it works and giving support to esea picking up crossfire when they don't even know what it is nor have they ever played on the client itself means nothing. how do you even know the client would work for crossfire? people get away with cheating in css and don't get caught, don't be so quick to be excited about an IDEA of esea coming to crossfire, which it won't any way. I could be naive and follow suit and support. But it would be just that, naive. Reality check, crossfire is dead.
God it's like people don't even read posts.

Everyone needs to look at the many aspects of this even happening.
1) Money
Will there be enough money generated from the users that will play ESEA to generate enough for prizes+enough for paying their own fees (paying coders)
2) Staff
If they are to run leagues, who if anyone will be staff to help out ESEA with this game?
3) Interest
Is there enough interest in the game for ESEA to pick it up?
We would have to give them some statistics on the people who play, the people who are competitive that would play or some real data for them to be even interested in supporting the game.
4) Technical details
Is ESEA even able to support the game?
As of now, no, they would have to work directly with the game developers to support certain features of their client (i.e; counting the amount of kills in pugs/pubs, not possible without direct engine/server access)
Even IF the engine gets supported in the near future, there would have to be MANY more servers + dedicated servers due the fact CF's only supported regions are California (US west), Canada (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc), Miami (US south) and United Kingdom (UK1-4). We have no Chicago server, no server in Central Texas (Dallas, TX for example)
The real question is if ESEA is willing to support the game and IF they are is the game developers willing to work with them to make the client functional.
It could happen with alot of effort from the community and support from the game developers, but we'd need to convince the game developers that they need ESEA in our game and we'd need to convince ESEA that they want CrossFire.
Anyone can write in their letters to the developers/ESEA

If we were to write to smilegate and esea as a community, how many people would you think it would take for this to go through? Because judging by these lists, polls and looking in Echo 8... It doesn't look like that much... maybe I'm wrong?
edit: let me rephrase that, if we were to write a list of people or have each person contact them, would we need 50, 100, 200, 500 people?.... -
Imagine how much 1.6/source/sc players would laugh if they see Crossfire in ESEA. As much of a negative comment that is, fact is we can't enter ESEA with 50 players. We'd need the whole community behind this idea: It will need to become a project. If ESG is good, that will show how many competitive users this game has, and how many more it will be able to bring. That will get you the statistics. Old data from wogl, esl.n and community ran leagues wouldn't even make ESEA turn their heads.

I know for a fact that there is another side of competitive side of crossfire that has maybe as much, or more, than the e8 community.
This community is the latin community. Most people just ignore them, but I've played with them a few times and they are actually very professional.
They even have their own anti-cheat. Better than where we're at right now.
Here is their website. http://www.latineg.com/
