I might actually be interested in watching it if like they had Mike Tirico and John Gruden announcing just confused as gently caress but trying their hardest i tried switching to a cs go tournament once and the game was pretty fun to watch but it would go to a panel of 4 guys, 3 of them literally clones of the same 30 year old fat guy in a suit with black rectangle glasses the twitch chat was spamming too fast for my insults to ever be noticed and i am still furious i wasnt able to mock these idiot grown men

It doesn't take the physical side, thus it's an esport. did you consider that people actually have to drive to, attend and maybe pay to see his games where yours is free internet tv for people with unlimited time

Have you seen pictures of a real event? oh if you mean in person then you're gonna need to post your sc2 name because it sounds like you are relatively pro and famous if this is true, good job goon you made it ArbitraryC posted:Worlds (league of legends international finals) had more viewers than a lot of major sports broadcast last year, it's actually a surprisingly popular thing nowadays and this mostly just comes across as out of touch old man yelling at clouds kinda thing. are you really going to pretend that both riot games and the chinese company that bought them out arent huge pieces of poo poo who have been proven to inflate all of these numbers massively with 'viewbots'? extra stout fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Apr 14, 2016 |
