Competitive Team Fortress 2 is Dying.

Uh, you did do some stuff wrong. First off, I said that first round is for acceptance, and it looks like you tried to present some arguments. Here, I'll post my debate round and show you how to do it.Basics:Before I begin, I would like to introduce the judges to the concept of ESEA and it's skill divisions for TF2. ESEA stands for E-Sports Entertainment Association, and they hold competitive leagues for a variety of games, mostly Counter Strike and Team Fortress 2. In ESEA's divison for Team Fortress 2, there is Open, for the new players, Intermediate, for those who have won Open or placed in the top 3, and Invite, which is considered to be the best. As well as ESEA, there is also UGC, which hosts competitive leagues for games like Counter Strike, DoTA 2, and Team Fortress 2. It also has skill divisions. These are, in order from bottom to top; Iron, Steel, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. It's worth mentioning that the competitive TF2 community usually equates the skill of a person in UGC Platinum to the skill of a person in ESEA Open. Now, TF2 has three forms of competitive play. These are 6v6, 9v9, and 4v4, however, 6v6 is the most common of these three forms of competitive TF2. However, I will not go into how many of what class is played in these game modes, I only mention the various types of competitive play because it will help us determine how many people play. Also worth mentioning is that ESEA runs ONLY 6v6, while UGC runs all three formats. I am also purposefuly leaving out ETF2L, as this Debate will only pertain to the American side of competitive TF2, as ESEA TF2 is America only. UGC by the numbers:First of all, UGC is currently in it's 17th season of 6v6, which started on April 1, 2009 [1]. It's in it's 15th season of Highlander, which started on October 10th, 2007 [2]. Finally, it is in it's 4th season of 4v4, which started on January 1st of 2014 [3]. Now, let's see how many players are in each game mode. For 9v9, I went to each individual skill division for North America and added them all together. (This is why I don't have a source, because while these numbers are all from the same website, they are all from different pages of the webside.) The total number of teams in highlander is 755. Now, since there are 9 players per team when it comes to highlander, that means if we multiply 755 by 9, we will get 6,795. This is the number of players for the entirety of 9v9 for UGC. I did this same method for 6v6 and 4v4. The number of teams for 6v6 are 518, and multiply that by 6, which is the number of players per team, and we get 3,108. Finally, let's look at 4v4. Number of team for 4v4 totalled is 291. Multiply this by 4, which is the number of players per team, and we get 1,164. Altogether, if you look at the total number of players in UGC, you get 11,067. As these numbers are all derived from different pages of the same website, I will simply claim the entire website as a source [4].ESEA by the numbers:Before I begin, please note that ESEA is a significantly smaller organization than UGC. This is easy to explain, as ESEA contains a fee to play competitively, while UGC is free. However, while not entirely relevant, because ESEA is a pay-to-play league, it has a LAN, and it has monetary prizes for winners of said LAN. That said, I would like to use a fifth source to show you, the judges, the number of total players that have signed up for Open, Intermediate, and Invite collectively [5]. If you will, please take a look at the words above the graph. Next to the label for players, we have 83 total. Scroll down on the page to see the same data for Intermediate and Open. For intermediate, the number is 175, and for open, the number is 489. Added together, the total number of players is 747. Now, if anybody is wondering what the differences is between "Paid" and "Total" is that, the people who are paid are ready to play, and the people who are not paid are substitutes incase a player cannot make it. This is why the number that matters is total players, and not paid players. With these two arguments, I will end my Round and let Pro take over.
