Are you sure that was employee's decision? Aside from that, seems legit.Quote:

Syncerror himself said that he reached ESL but they rejected the money offer. Why isn't he stepping up so quake is not dropped out of DH too?
Yep, as of this moment dh winter 2012 was the last one that will have quake, therefore there's only one stable event a year (quakecon) and even on that one prize money and organization is not provided by id software.
And that's just live tournaments, because the prizes that id has given in online cups are laughable and very sporadic.
Wait wait, how do you know he didn't? It could be just the same as with ESL - DH guys said :"meh, not enough viewers" or something like that.Quote:

I think there were exactly 5 international lans, 3 with duel on them which are the usual majors) and not top players dropping out after signing up to the event. The decision had absolutely nothing to do with viewers, which btw is pretty good for dreamhack standards in games that aren't LoL, sc2 and dota2 (5k).
