QFT, I've pretty much played all of those and the difference in skill between BW and pretty much every other game is miles long. | ||

There were a few games that weren't like that though, it looked pretty sweet. Harder than starcraft, I'm not convinced. That being said, i could completely accept a game like AoE2 into the ESPORTS spectrum, the same way i see CS, Quake, Dawn of War etc. It's some of the supercasual games that have been hitting the scene that have a 'quick to learn, quick to master' learning curve like WoW arena being a pretty big example. | ||

... Fucking seriously? I used to be inseparable from Rise of Rome. I remember playing AoE2 in those terribad .. god it's been so long I can't even remember what the pre MSN kinda thing was called for Microsoft multiplayer games. Even if you were making a legitimate comparison I have one thing to say: Apples and fucking Oranges. | ||

I support other people who like other good games. Except for my game's sister game, which also shares this website. I shit on that every chance I get." Your viewpoint is so clear! | ||

I actually don't even like arguing about what game takes "more skill" because in competitive gaming, how much skill it takes to win is based mostly on how tough the competition is. Here is some knowledge for ya: the competition in broodwar is some of the stiffest in competitive gaming, if not THE stiffest. AOE definitely isn't in the same league as it, I don't really think any game is.... but if there is one it isn't AOE. | ||

To me, when I think of esports, i think of WCG and other organizations that sought to promote all computer games. But for the most part, most professional gamers exist within their own realms. Not often, do you see a pro smash bros player switch to SC. Confounding Esports with starcraft puts it on a shared level with other inferior games and assumes a greater interdependence between different competitive gaming communities. The history and legacy behind Starcraft is a beauty in its own right. | ||

Every game where you can play against an opponent can be e-sports. Not the skill level decides what ends up being one, but the fanbase. If there are fans that would pay to watch players play as well as players ready to dedicate their life to mastering the game, it's E-Sports. The skill level of the game doesn't even matter at all, it's the community around it that matters. We might not like some of the games or platforms (Seriously... console games as E-Sports... i will never understand this world) but since they have a community around it that wants to watch players play and they are ready to pay for it, they are legitimate E-Sports. Yeah, some are harder, some are easier, but in the end it doesn't matter at all. | ||
