State of Origin is inherently an Australian-based competition. That's been the case for Day of Defeat, Counter-Strike (1.6/Source), Call of Duty (1, 2, 4, 5, MW2, Black Ops) and the Battlefield series.

Why are you under this delusion that holding one geographical based competition that coincides with - SURPRISE, THE ACTUAL STATE OF ORIGIN - somehow is a hindrance to eSports in our community?

It's these kind of events that tie in competitive gaming with the rest of what goes on with society that makes eSports more awesome. What do you think Barcraft is? This is a novelty event - if you try to be all politically correct by not wanting to piss anyone else off (not that they would be, this is an Australian tradition for ****'s sake) you're just going to ruin the event for everyone.

And to think I was feeling good when I woke up. Holy ****.

Lol, wanna ******* relax mate? I said it was my opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own. I said that I was PERSONALLY of the opinion that it would be better for our community if everyone was entitled to have a go. I haven't been a part of any other online gaming communities so I didn't know that it was like that. I never said a hindrance, I said it would be better for our community if we included everyone and it would help to further esports by inviting everyone to compete if they so choose. Perhaps instead of jumping the gun and instantly getting on the hate train you need to read what I said.

The fact that you wake up and get mad at someone's opinion which you read on a forum makes me laugh. What do you honestly think a forum is? Its a place for opinion.

Anyway, as I said, it's not my choice, it is deL's choice, and I was merely saying something which I thought should be considered.
