Let's be serious, this game will never see the light of true esports. Don't be like purvis and invest your time in school, at least it can feed you. CrossFire is just a hobby, a sport can be a hobby but a hobby is not always a sport.

That won't ever happen for CF again, only reason to play is for internats, if you wanna take it competitively.


And I thought they meant just promoting it, trying to make it better? Not necessarily by growth but by increasing the amount of tourneys/leagues etc. Making the game more fun while the community waits for LAN again, way of practice.

Promoting =/= trying to make it better. There's a huge difference between the two.

Honestly, Slayas feedback is not intentionally negative. He is just stating his opinion on it, nothing wrong with that. Yes I know the title is somewhat off to what the thread is. As for resources, you are true in some aspects, that we could use more, but we do have a decent amount already we are working with. We will be doing what we can for "Cash prizes" but it isn't in any companies best interest to host a 100K Cash prize event for Crossfire yet, it will have to be a gradual thing, and we can only hope for the best. Moving forward though we are going to try and provide many cash prizes for 2014, Im just not sure the amount or how high they will be at this point in time

Like chubrub already stated, no one is asking for a 100k cash prize event because the likeliness of an event of that magnitude being held in NA is slim to none. I mean tonnes of organizations shell out money in order to better the competitive scene that they are apart of, complexity held an online tournament within the esea community with a $10,000 prize pot. Cash prizes = more general interest = increase in the growth of community = more teams. No one is asking anyone to spend that much money right off the bat because it's basically shelling out money for no reason at all.

Jon spent months paying off what was owed for FG LAN, on top of the $4,000 prize pot. The prize pot being completely funded by players paying to enter a tournament also will lose demand extremely fast.

Here in Brazil we have many tournaments, including some LAN ones with prize pools as high as R$ 20,000(~10k USD), like BGL (which will decide the 2 teams that will represent Brazil in CFS), and the Razer Cup. I can't see why something similar couldn't happen with NA, but I think "investment" and "advertisement" are the key words
