Everyone has a different mind set, some people see this as just a hobby, others want to make this something huge, make a living out of it, work full time in competitive gaming, like me.


In my opinion, making something big means taking the soul of it and replacing it with money and business. It's like trying to make japanese monster porn huge. The vast majority of people on this planet don't appreciate porn in general (atleast openly). And the ones who do, do not necessarily enjoy japanese monster porn.

What I mean by this, is that you are trying to make an industry out of something, that is a niche (startcraft2) in a niche (computer games). This is simply not going to happen, unless you put money and business into it. Start advertising the shit out of it. Without TV commercials, huge banners and panini progamer stickers, it's unlikely to happen, ever. And where would the money for something like this come from? Yea.. nobody would invest that money, just like for japanese monster porn.

ESPORTS!!!!! I'M CUMMINGGGG
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

Can't say I've ever read something that summed up all my feelings, I now no longer have to post in threads like the spades hacking/orb racist/destiny racist threads... I can just remember that I'm not alone in thinking that everyone's completely lost the entire point of gaming.

5/5

From what I can see, though, esports are already legitimized, and have been long before SC2. Being a legitimate sport has nothing to do with whether or not it's on TV, or even whether or not there are corporate sponsors dumping money into the scene. All that is needed is that there be a competitive atmosphere and people who dedicate themselves whole-heartedly to said competition.

What makes sports beautiful- whether they're played on hardwood or in cyberspace, on cool green grass or hot tarmac- is not how many people are watching or how much money the winner(s) take home, but that primal, visceral sensation you get when you know victory is within your grasp- the glorious exultation of our ancestors when they brought down a hard fought kill. In that moment, we achieve a degree of self-actualization, enlightenment. It is complete and total affirmation of one's existence.

That's why I hate the whiny zealots who complain about how certain pros are "unprofessional". Professionalism in sports should come from the respect which is formed between competitors- it should not amount to the repression of one's self or personality because someone *might* be offended.
