After the winner for the European ClanBase Crysis Beta Tournament was known, GGL Wire interviewed the winning team, GlobalTeam eSports . The interview can be found here. It's an interesting read, where GT-Soulimano gives his opinion on the future of Crysis in eSports, as well as the PunkBuster anti-cheat in Crysis. Here is a small snippet from the interview:

GGL Wire: Crysis - Do you think it has an eSports future?

Soulimano: This is THE question a lot of players are asking themselves. Crysis has an esports future, for sure, because Crytek has done a great job on the multiplayer aspect of the game, so it will be adopted by enough players anyway to allow cup ladders and LAN events. The question is rather, will it be an esports blockbuster as Battlefield 2 was, for example? ...

The winners of the European ClanBase Crysis Beta Tournament are:

1. GlobalTeam eSports
2. Die Doppelnullen
3. Retroactive
4. sAng9

We here at ClanBase would like to wish all participants in the tournament the best of luck in the future, and if Soulimano is a good indicator, Crysis does indeed have a bright future on ClanBase!
