"The tune was sad, as the best of Ireland was, melancholy and lovely as a lover's tears"
(c) Nora Roberts
While the true melancholy of this Dublin eSports Event is heavily countered by the sheer effort and energy put into the preparation, devotion and dedication of the staff, I cannot help but feel that we missed out on something more.
I will not want to take away anything of the 12 teams that took the initiative and paid their way to the first ever international Irish Call of Duty event, but if we simply glance past the attendance list, there are a great deal of names missing that should have been there, for whatever reason.
Is it not the duty of top teams in Europe to attend and play a pivotal role in this community, show off your strengths and show everyone you deserve to be ranked so highly? In the Dublin eSports Event we find only one team that was part of the last TEK9 Monthly ranking we did in April, Anexis eSports as the others were either unwilling or not able to attend.
TCM-Gaming are going through a heap of line-up problems, who ? recently lost their financial support when Power Gaming cut them, Fnatic are having structural problems and the least active team in Europe, LowLandLions had a player with important exams who could not attend, CEFO supposedly lack the funds to attend, eSuba are on a limited budget as well and Herr, Team YoYoTech, Team MondialServers apparently chose not to.
So what is this apparent nonchalance? Is it bad timing of the event? Would a Dublin eSports Event in the 2nd week of July might have gotten a higher attendance rate as well as a higher quality rating. Perhaps, but I somehow feel that the problems go deeper than that. Although it is quite obvious that sometimes it’s just bad luck or unfortunate timing, I have the feeling that the top end of the community has become more lacks in their approach to the game and the competitiveness, we always see the same names pop up in online cups and maybe it’s time for some new blood to come up and be given a shot?
The sights of Dublin are there for the taking...

"Collecting".. please.. you can't live off CoD4. The money we won was already spend making trips to those events in terms of travel and food.
We haven't had a complete line-up for MONTHS. We only just added Guana recently and what did we do.. we tried to go Dublin... Unfortunately, not everyone has enough money to attend such event on such a short notice.
Besides if you look it it like that, than "who?" ALSO CHOOSE NOT TO attend. They have won millions more than we did... but no they "lost financial support".. please.
Also If we could attend it.. but no, Money and holydays make us wrong.
maybe the next time we will have it :).
Nice read Bob and gL to all teams

Sry then
1. if you unravel threads that are twisted, woven or knitted, or if they unravel, they become separated:
[vn] I unravelled the string and wound it into a ball. [also v]
2. [v] (of a system, plan, relationship, etc.) to start to fail or no longer stay together as a whole
3. to explain sth that is difficult to understand or is mysterious; to become clearer or easier to understand: [vn] The discovery will help scientists unravel the mystery of the Ice Age. [also v]
it's unravel, not unreval :)
