TF2 needs a boost and we can do it.
You can help tf2 growing by signing the following petition:
http://www.petitiononline.com/tf2eswc/petition.html

As you may have seen, ESWC announced his come back it will take place at Disneyland Paris From 30 th of June to 4th of July 2010. ESWC has always been the place where the best gamers were gathered, and it is most probably the most prestigious event that eSport had in his History.

A press release appears on http://www.eswc.com we know the dates, the localization, but also the list of the first Games who will have the chance to be this year in this edition.

As you can imagine we are really disappointed that Team Fortress have not been selected in this list. That’s why we need all of you, in order to show to ESWC organizers that Team Fortress 2 deserve to be in this list. If you want to see TF2 at Paris from 20th of June to 4th of July at Disneyland Paris please sign this petition.

this is a stupid idea, and here's why:

http://forums.purepwnage.com/index.php?showtopic=94587

Games-Services, the original company behind the ESWC, filled for bankruptcy several months ago. In the aftermath of this, Stéphane Cosse, the head of DIP Communication and DIP Organisation (An event organiser), has purchased the rights to the ESWC brand, trademark and tournament management system for €50,000 and cyberleagues.fr for €1,500.

The ESWC has now unveiled their plans for the summer of 2010 with a new $200,000 dollar e-Sports event taking place in Disneyland Paris from June 30 to July 4, 2010.

Games Included:

* Counterstrike 1.6
* Counterstrike 1.6 Female
* Warcraft III: TFT
* Trackmania ESWC
* Virtual Tennis
* Need For Speed: Shift
* Street Fighter 4
* FIFA 2010

However, according to SK-gaming Cosse was a lead figure in Adéclik who ran a $50,000 event called ClickArena back in 2003 where in similar circumstances to the CyberXGames the prize money turned out to be a hoax and no team received a penny. Perhaps in light of this the ESWC has made a further announcement:

"in order to prevent more harm and damage to the ESWC image and to maintain coherent the ESWC project and spirit, DIP-Organisation is studying the possibilities to found a way to compensate the last ESWC champions."
