I never gave a chance to any Guild Wars , I know about the game by the internet . I played a shitton of MMOS between ragnarok online and wow . but after wow the only mmo I tried was wild stars , looked really nice on the paper but I got bored really fast . <| sep |> You ' re not wrong . But it ' s not like players are just puppets to an organization , at least not the tier 1 teams we have in CSGO . Everything the orgs do pretty much revolves around putting the players in the best position to win and be comfortable . With the sheer number of available events , if players didn ' t want to be competing in online leagues , I would be inclined to believe that they wouldn ' t be forced to . They have stopped playing in at least a couple formerly popular online leagues such as CEVO and Star Ladder , with the exception of Star Ladder ' s offline events . But with ESL and ECS having 1 . 5 million dollar leagues , it ' s not really in their best interest to say no to . Besides those 2 , what other online leagues are there really that they are playing ?
