Maybe they should pay people to watch the streams.

Here are my thoughts: $100,000. People should stop crying and start playing as it doesn't take much additional effort to play both ShootMania and QuakeLive at the same time, especially if you're already well versed in Quake.

Let's face it, Ubisoft are not going to stop putting money into their own game via NADEO and instead start putting money into an IDSoftware game, so why not be happy that we're actually seeing money go into another FPS game of which our skills gained from Quake Live are transferred over... rather than another MOBA or RTS where the majority of us would get destroyed.

The TL:DR is; Play both whilst reminding people that Quake Live is awesome too.

Could you give me at least a single reason why Shootmania is worth to be played?

$100.000

$100,000 at IPL5, $20,000 at ESWC.

There's nothing stopping you from playing both games, you can still play FACEIT every Sunday whilst competing in ShootMania. Just look at Insan3's team that consists of one TrackMania player and a World-of-Tanks player. They beat Av3k, Cypher and Hunt3r amongst other teams to qualify for ESWC (flights to Paris + hotels). Then there's Stermy and his team who've qualified to IPL5. (flights to LA + hotels).

If you absolutely hate the game then just don't play it, but what if you don't compete in the qualifiers for either tournament and find you would've won if you did. Not everyone is motivated by just a) competition and b) ridiculous prize pools... but i can't think of any reason as to why you wouldn't give it a go (if only to then quit afterwards). The game is still BETA and will remain BETA until it's ready, that means you can still get a 7day/30day key from several sources and participate... without even paying the 15euro to buy the game.

p.s. Q3CPM > *

Garpy is from World of Tanks? :o

What you are saying is for people who want to become pro gamers.
The other 99.99% of quakers are not interested in watching or playing.

100k $
As many peak viewers as a medium sized ql stream.

And nvc is a whore the gillz of streaming.

I've never read a more accurate comparison in all my days.

Haheahhea

Should have made it $500,000. Maybe next time.
