Top 5 Of The Most Handsome Pro WoW Players, ESL Pays - Is It Too Late?

I'm getting nervous people. Sign this petition godamnit! I started to bet on football by the way and I'm 13 Euro down so far because record champion Bayern München can't win against Cologne. These oranjes are the cancer drinking our delicious beer at the Oktoberfest. Roy Makaay, now that was a nice tulips gardener. I love Robben but he's like a level 60 arcane Mage, shoot your load and die. Glass cannons... I know, cool story bro. A pro pros:

 
+1 imo.

Top 5 of the most handsome pro WoW players

As this is about looks, chances are you won't like my picks so feel free to leave your list below! That is if you think you're stable enough in your heterosexuality so you can judge the looks of fellow three-leggers. I learned from Raddy, I can. Dicks bro. One thing though, I only picked people who already attended LAN tournaments.

#5 Lycra
Lycra has been at exactly one tournament with his incredibly handsome team mate Cyberpsycho. Looking at their body language and how Lycra gently touched his side boob, they definitely had something going. I hope you didn't stop reading here because this is obviously a joke and the more and more you're reading this, the more I know you love me and I could write whatever I want. We just go on and on until it looks like a proper paragraph. Oh boy, you love your Yiska don't you. Good boy.




THE REAL #5 Azael of EG
When Azael first stepped on the scene he wasn't quite there yet and looking back today, I think he would agree. Looking at this picture and comparing it to the one I picked makes it clear. Azael lost quite some weight and of course equipped the gunner glasses. One thing I like as an analyst of everything worthless or worthwhile is seeing how these WoW players matured over the years and I think it's save to say that, while Azael lost weight, he gained self confidence and handsomeness making him my number five on the list of the most handsome WoW players.



#4 Reckful of Fnatic
I like it furry. I myself am very furry and I like it beastly. He's the only one with a beard on that list so he's probably the manliest. After watching MLG Columbus, I fell in love a bit. While I sadly don't have a pic from his front especially when he was giving the interview in which (and ladies I hope you're with me here,) he looked super hot. His haircut, which is pretty much destroyed in the only picture I found of him, is the best compromise between a skilled rogue and a handsome men making him my #4.




#3 Spoh
I smell a lot of American hate by only putting him on #3 but you can't argue about taste I guess. Spoh hasn't been at any tournaments in the last couple of month but he surely has a spot in my memory and maybe even a little in my heart. His distinctive face shape coupled with a good body sliced into my brain. He has a great base to build from, but I felt he didn't really dress that well on most tournaments, didn't make his hair as well because it's probably only a WoW tournament and who can blame him honestly. Headsets are haircut killers. I'd love to see him at a tournament again to see how he evolved in the last couple of month but I'm afraid we won't see him anymore. Just for the fact that I remembered him even though he's been out of the scene for quite a while now, makes him my #3 of the most handsome Pro WoW players and also the highest American!

#2 Paperkat
Paperkat was probably the fastest evolving character in the WoW community looks-wise. When he attended his first LAN tournament, I remember him as being incredibly skinny and pale. Fast forward to the IEM finals and we see him all "stylish" with a scarf in this interview (he was probably only sick though, heh), less messed up hair, less pale, gained a bit of weight and as is confident as we all know and love him. Not only is he a handsome men, but he also managed to grab himself quite a gorgeous girlfriend if you ask me. Lucky bastard. First he wins Blizzcon and a couple of other tournaments and then this? I guess I know where he absorbed his luck from (ME!..) So much luck and I put him only on #2 out of spite! If you want to find out more about this handsome ex WoW Pro check out his player profile!


#1 Ocelote
While Ocelote didn't win Blizzcon like he promised because he's a silly "pure fascist", he surely still won the contest of who wetted most female panties. He has this wicked aura of pure will power, which he sadly let didn't really use pre Blizzcon. When he talks English, it's like he's making love to you vocally. Most people say Italian is the language of love, but I for myself found out that it's definitely Spanish. In the picture you can see that he also got himself a hot girlfriend and I'm sure about 3.4 billion are in line. In fact, he was the only player on that list my sister also said he was hot. She's into lip piercing kind of guys I guess. Needless to say that I'd be glad to give the key to the chastity belt of my sister to Ocelote. I think he's a worthy #1 of the most handsome Pro WoW players and if you don't feel that way, add a comment with your list!

ESL pays - Is it too late?

Whileasking Paperkat to give me a handsome picture of himself, he informed me that the ESL in fact paid for LA, Leipzig and Montreal and he's only missing the money from Cebit now. It's not perfect but it's a beginningand also gives hope to attend future ESL tournaments.

First off, I'm in no way, shape or form defending the ESL for paying that late, because in my books before you hand out something you got to have it yourself and not speculate on sponsor money. That said, we all know about the financial crisis and of course a company or a product that only works because of the financial support of sponsors has an even harder time to survive. We don't have to forget, jobs are on the line here. ESL long passed the time when people were organizing it as hobby. They work in an office and get their monthly salary. Some of them moved out of their country, leaving everything else behind, counting on this one project to work. Of course you don't let it just die, just like no other company on the planet would.

The community has been betrayed and I have absolute understanding for teams who say that they won't attend because they expect to not get the money any time soon anyway. It's probably the right move even. But what is the alternative? They will always find teams to attend their tournaments. If your top team doesn't attend, it will only lower the quality of the tournament, therefore the number of viewers and will ultimately hurt your cause because if the ESL is broke, you probably won't get your money either. (I don't say that they are broke or anywhere near, I honestly don't know.)

Now let's pretend the ESL dies, which I think is highly unlikely. Does anyone thinks we will see a replacement in Europe or on the planet at all? Probably not. 11 million registered players around the globe, suddenly only with very bad options as far as leagues go. Let's focus on WoW. A second tournament host? I don't think it will happen and that will also hurt MLG unless they decide to step up and organize more tournaments. 4-5 MLG tournaments plus Blizzard tournaments simply isn't enough to keep WoW as an e-sport alive so we all better hope they will make it.

As far as I'm concerned as a spectator, I feel that ESL did a very good job at providing an enjoyable coverage about WoW and I think I'd miss both IEM events and ESL TV coverage in my week. Keep in mind, if you don't pay for the premium stream, this is all entirely free for you and all you contribute to the ESL is a mere hit on their stream.

Yiska out.

Edit: Thanks to Bosskraaka for reminding me of WoWverload! The show will start at 22 GMT+1
