E-Sports. What's the point? Anonymous 12/19/18 (Wed) 05:40:41 867a5d No.15890627

I know most of you faggots here love shitting on E-Sports. But…

At some point this shit will get massive support. The only thing that's a problem with E-sports is it doesn't have the sheer numbers and government input as RL sports.

I'm not even into E-Sports but the conversation about it I feel is important. I feel it's best to establish your opinion on the subject even if you hate it. And to show methods and ways to improve it.

Ignore it and move on. Profaggots often force developers to remove fun, but that's the only part which gets my attention.

The answer is always either greed or stupidity.

E-sports peaked in popularity years ago when it started to take off on disney channel. It isn't ever gonna spike in popularity again in the foreseeable future.

Don't think it's for the players.

Think of the journalists, event organizers, diversity hire that needs something in order to justify their "jobs".

Chess is a recognized sport and all you do in that game is sit on your ass and move a piece now and then

Already know that, anon. It should *not* be a sport, but it's much less pathetic than video games being classified as "sports". Unlike eshitz, Chess requires plenty of mental matter unlike MOBAs and FPSes contrary to what eshitz "athletes" say.

You fags bring up chess every time as if mastering a game makes one fucking difference in this world. Why don't you use that fucking high IQ to go invent some fucking shit instead of wasting it

>It should *not* be a sport

But it is, so…

And if you don't think there are games that require comparable "mental matter," you're just being intentionally ignorant and might as well be trolling. Not to mention that chess works as a video game indistinguishably well from a physical board, and the best chess players in the world frequently play video game chess. Really makes you think.

>>15890851

Same could be said for literally any sport, both physical and nonphysical. What's your point?
