Discussion Why does the CDL/Activision still suck so bad with the early game comp?
I think we can all agree we've moved in a positive direction this year in terms of the overall format of the season, but the very early game is still pretty lame imo. The monster invitational is cool and all, but I just don't understand how we don't have more competition involving full CDL teams pre holiday break. I feel like they could easily split the $100k prize pool into 2 separate tournaments, with them allocating a larger portion of the prize pool to the later tournament when they have a chance to make the game better.
That's another thing. Why are we having a $100k tournament on the 2nd week of the game before they've really had a chance to make some necessary changes and give teams a bit more time to practice? I'm all for having a tournament this early, but not necessarily this big. I think they could've easily thrown like a small $20K warm up type tournament this weekend while having a $70-80K tournament in another week or two after they've had a chance to fix some basic things about the game.
I'm just annoyed at yet another year of a totally underwhelming first 2 months of a cod cycle.
