Re: ESports, a global phenomenon.
I disagree. They are different. I've played Quake, Street Fighter (to this day), and Starcraft on a serious competetive level (Counter-Strike for 11+ years to international level), and frankly they all require a very similar outlook and mindset. Some aspects shine more in some games than others. It's the same attitude you… -

Re: ESports, a global phenomenon.
This x100. Most people simply overlook the subtle details of playing at a competitive level least when it comes to CS. Whether it be gamesense or sound ques(being able to tell the difference between a flash/smoke by the noise it makes when hitting a surface). I am curious though since you said you played at an… -
Re: ESports, a global phenomenon.
what a weird thing to say. The only reason traditional martial arts are mostly bullshit is because they're almost never trained with full resistance, so the bullshido doesn't get weeded out. That doesn't mean that "MMA" (whatever that is anyway) is easy to learn or "does more with less." Just becoming proficient at… -
Re: ESports, a global phenomenon.
This. Tons of examples but I think the most recent is how badly NS2 floundered. The skill ceiling in that game is insane, yet no audience. I wouldn't go as far to say games have gotten easier in term of skill either. CS:GO has an insane meta game that I barely grazed the surface of(Ex ESEA-Main/CEVO-P player). It really… -

Modern eSport teams don't only sit in front of the computer and play. They attend strategy meetings where they break down their opponents games, find weaknesses, physical training,… -

Re: ESports, a global phenomenon.
jobs in eSports, I feel like I have been under therapeutic hypothermia and just come out of a very long sleep! so much to read up and learn about! but then I guess a lot of these guys are making it up as well as 'LOL' only came out a few years ago so the industry is just finding its feet but to think it can fill a 40,000… -
Re: ESports, a global phenomenon.
Not sure what you are talking about here at all. The popular games are not suited for high level play ? Starcraft is a difficult game, im sure you agree, but Mobas, have you ever played one ? League is a game that takes months to play at a basic level, and Dota offers even more, a ridiculous amount of depth, those games… -
Re: ESports, a global phenomenon.
I think the increase in audience on twitch etc. the last couple of years is amazing to follow! I believe with a game like dota - that is by far one of the most difficult games to get into - You already have a strong foundation of both viewers and players from good ol' Dota Allstars. I see it as a mix between the strong…
