I. Experience is never a waste of money - only a wasted opportunity, if you're lazy.
That sounds a lot better than it looks if you got knocked out in the first round of the lower bracket on Saturday - especially if you copped the brunt of the lag and FPS drops, which was particularly brutal at the start of the day.
That said, first in has never really been best dressed in eSports - anybody that got the opportunity to play later on in the day typically has a leg up. Gamers... [Read More]
