What content you liked? "Reclaiming the Glory" "So Much Complexity" "There and Back Again" "Role Playing"
What content you didn’t like? -The league pages should of had a history lesson on the leagues rather then random news for the first issue (too late now) -Let Mark Cheban write the editorial next time (sorry midway :Z)
What you thought of the design? The design was okay, but definitely not up to par with Korea. Learn a few things or two from this magazine: esForce - http://www.fighterforum.com/newsphoto/new..
Favorite Page Design? Worst Page Design? "Reclaiming Glory" article - best "Points to Ponder" - worst
What would you like to see Weenus make fun of? CGS + Rules + Valve not releasing TV rights to 1.6 in USA (but is fine overseas)
What articles would you like to see our professional players write? Frod - About the new compLexity house Moto - DirecTV CGS Shuguar - CGS Rules (as we all know, he has helped create what the current standard is today, so what does he think about what CGS is trying to make standard?)
PS: Use the same formats (CS:S top teams is different from the other tables) Check magazine before printing (CEVO url is www.eswc.com ? Wha?) Hire an editor to fix grammar mistakes and help form better article structures Hire a professional photographer to create a photoshoot with the front cover person

Striving for the best, Expecting nothing less, Gamer 4 life.
What content you liked? "So Much Complexity" "xbox360 vs ps3" "there and back again" " "role playing" in cs" "growing up in gaming" "money teams have made"
What content you didn’t like? "the madden challenge and the game" "directX 10" "reclaming the glory"
What you thought of the design? I think that the design could be alittle better. I did like the use of event photos.
Favorite Page Design? Worst Page Design? "Reclaiming Glory" article - best "the league pages" - worst
What would you like to see Weenus make fun of? the source vs 1.6 debate
What articles would you like to see our professional players write? I think that some of the bootman articles should be put in place. This magazine is geared towards new commers to E-sports in total as well as people who have played these games for seasons. I would also like to see rivalries pop up. Or take a gamer that doesn't like another and have them interview each other.
You also might want to take the space and let gaming companies advertise in the their. Take like server's for the games or like razer did for it's mouse. The more people see these headphones,mice, mousepad are what help gamers become better at their game of choice.
Fisker - Source sucks [f2]anTs : We must of killed some nuns in are past lives.
you should really offer a online version of the issues. like a PDF format and a paypal subscription method.
i really don't feel like paying $10 USD per issue for shipping. it doesn't make sense in my opinion. Plus, everyone will be able to receive it electronically on time.
the overall content of the magazine was good intereting topics and what not
favorite was the shaguars view of old team "fraggers, awpers ..." etc.
i didnt like madden, because its a console game, and esports is like.. more internet games
i would like to see weenus make fun of how CAL has been nothing to anyone recently. cal-i used to be like the GODS when now theyre all inactive, main is easy as hell to get into, and how theres like 50 teams on premier. How IM is a sandpit of doom to advance, and the overall problem in cal (cs 1.6)
I would like to see a bigger lan/tournament section.
I used to play card games like Magic and the top magazine was Scrye. In the back of the magazine was a section with all of the U.S. states brokedown and all the rest of the world listed in locations such as Germany, France, etc.
They had a contact number where you could pay to put your tournamnet on the list for like $25 a month. I think this would be a great addition because it will help the esport community grow, but alos help you guys bring in some extra cheese.
What content you liked? Reclaiming the Glory, MLG Preview What content you didn’t like? The Madden Challenge, Directx10-The Future is now What you thought of the design? I think the design was a little confusing. Favorite Page Design? Worst Page Design? Favorite-Reclaiming the Glory Worst-The Madden Challenge What would you like to see Weenus make fun of? Umm IDK What articles would you like to see our professional players write? More about MLG and the life of pro players.
