Firstly lads if you go back and read all the posts you would realise that I didn't generalise, and I know their are gamers that play other games and are not afraid to try new things, and YES I am also in the category of people who play CSS and BF but I have logged onto many local servers that have sat empty since the day that saix launched them.
What I found strange is that internationally these games are revered by gamers but localy they sit empty.
I believe there are 2 things that contribute to the fact that S.A gamers only play a hand full of games.
1. Our gaming community is small (This is most likely the biggest contributer)
2. S.A Piracy of games is out of control, out of all the people I know that plays PC games, I am the only one who buys all my games original.
Mac: That is not what you said in any of your previous posts, I had read every single post before I made my post. The things you supposedly believe now is exactally what I said and corrected your generalised post on. Please do me a favour and go back and read your own posts before you say stupid things. Go read my post again and you will notice that I adressed everything in your first paragraph of your post. Please do not make me repeat everything. Go read my post over and over again untill you absorb what I had said.
I am so glad that you buy all your games, not everyone has that luxuary though, and by calling them lamers for not being able to afford all these other games is really pathetic.
By the way don't you see that you answer your own statements? You say that you see all these empty local servers and internationally the games are played, then you say our community is really small. Which infact answers your own statement. Therefore your statement is useless and has no point.

Yes the trips oversea's are happening, what I meant to say is the average joe online player thinks he stands a good chance to get to the top and win, but it is not that simple. I work as a Head Admin for Arena77 that currently host the qualifiers for the oversea's comps and as the current situation stands, it is highly unlikely that any the current team of players will be beaten any time soon. They also won't be changing members unless one of them decides to quit cs, which I don't think will happen because their skill level is way above any other team competing against them. So they don't have to practise so much and therefore doesn't consume their lives.
If you look at all those points you will see that the chances of any average Joe ever making it to the top and catching up with the skill level is not very high, unless there is some kind of prodigy type player with insane amounts of skill and talent that sticks out from the rest and gets himself known.
