Someone enlighten me in short what is going on with this CPL Scandal or w/e. I’m intrigued.
Can’t be bothered reading those wallatexts.

If you’ve never heard of the CPL you most likely know nothing of e-Sport. But that’s perfectly fine, one might have real interests instead

Its was the biggest thing to happen to E-SPORTS a few years back so if you haven’t heard of it you do indeed deserve to be shot.

Does CPL have a TF2 league, far as I know…no, and I don’t care about any other game competitively other than TF2.

Sorry for my ignorance, guess i’ll shoot myself for not knowing who was Prime Minister of Norway in 1968 whilst we’re on the subject of stuff that happened ‘a few years back’.

CPL was THE shit.. and nothing will probably ever come close to the awesome geekfest it was. If it were to return I would tattoo CPL on my ass (not).

Altough, seriousley, cpl should come back.

It was pointed out to me by one of the remaining teams that the match-ups were wrong based on the quarter-semi-final results. So I went to the producers of the show and showed this to them. I was told point-blank that they were manipulating the brackets to make sure that two specific teams would end up in the finals. These teams were more ‘television friendly’ and so they wanted them in the finals to make sure the show had the intensity and appeal they wanted

I wonder if this sort of thing happened, why didn’t the two teams that know they lost have some fairplay and not continue? I can’t imagine this happening in the TF2 world…or am I misunderstanding?

Yeah the CPL thing to my knowledge is lying, greedy businessmen deceives people in order to gain control of the company, get out of investing proper money, cheat the gamers of the site by false promises and try to suck it dry. Well my understanding…
