Overwatch is the most forced eSport of all time. It's clear Blizzard is throwing a ton of money around to make it an eSport but anyone with a brain knows that REAL eSports just sort of happen. Rocket League just happened, Evo just happened, Counter Strike tournaments just happened. Any time it is forced it will only last as long as the publisher pumps money into it. Evo won't die without Capcom throwing money to shill their new crap, the "Overwatch World Cup" will die immediately without Blizzard throwing millions at it.

Yep.

Overplebbed is very obviously being shilled like Street Fucker V was. SFV would have been dropped by most of the players if there was no money in playing the game. Imagine if the pot money for SFV was less than Ultra SF IV or Third Strike. Then ask yourself if those guys like Infiltration, Daigo and Tokido would play the game like they do now. Or if they'd go fucking play Ultra IV.

Sure, casuals would pick up new characters when the new seasons came out, and you'd have people like Bafael who think SFV is tolerable (for some reason,) but most people would just play something else if you removed money from the equation. For fuck's sake, Street Fighter X Tekken was at Evo at one point. :D Oh, but I'm sure Central Fiction will be a side tournament as usual. We can give endless center stage time to the shittiest capcom game, but you weebs can go fuck your waifu pillows off to the side. :lol:

Competitive FPS seem largely forced imo. Counter-Strike has always been kind of a big deal, but the other ones seemed largely reliant on being memed. Team Fortress 2 was good in the early days but then Valve gutted it with all the bullshit micro-transactions and stupid decorations.

I wouldn't call them athletes, but they do practice 8+ hours a day xD

It's... like chess? They're not athletes, but it's kind of a sport.

Dota 2 The International 2017 had 10M$ in prize money. For 1st place.
So?

It's a cash grab for companies. ESports deserves to fail. They are all popping aderal to boot.

Overwatch - and by extension ESports - was created by and for Redditors, as if the TF2 hivemind of liberal arts grads hasn't poisoned the internet enough. It's the apogee of the amorphous blob of cancer that "gaming culture" has reduced itself into over the past decade.

Also Jeff Kaplan is a literal cuckold, if you needed another reason to keep away from OW.

E-sports is the gayest shit you could possibly do. You can suck ten dicks at a bus stop and you'd still not even be remotely as gay as somebody that plays Overcucked as an e-sport.

I thought the joke was that video games are now considered sports. When the hell did such mislabeling become acceptable. Are gamers athletes now? Is Movie Blob a free agent? Is pewdiepie a #1 draft pick?
Isn't South Korea currently shilling to make eSports olympic?

And Blizzard should know better because they've made the same mistake in the past: Starcraft just happened and became a fucking national sport in South Korea. Then they made Starcraft 2 with eSports in mind, scaring off the majority of old players who didn't care about eSports, while not keeping new players engaged for long enough.

The letdown of StarCraft 2 goes beyond that. That story was vomit inducing.

Blizzard didn't even support SC2 well in the e-sports sense. They dropped it really quickly.

Didn't they also get into some argument with the SK eSports scene over licenses and shit? That might've been the turning point of them going "Screw this, let's focus on something else".

This is modern Blizzard we're talking about. Anything but fanfic-tier storytelling would be a surprise.

And one of my favorite tales was finding a thread about people complaining about the SC2 map editor, only for some Blizzardtard to go all "This editor has to have a steep learning curve to ensure that the maps that do get finished will be of the outmost quality!"
