Not as good a reason as watching teams I like, for me personally. Its no different than traditional sports tbh. Fandom >>>>>>>> than "good games". You can't even "anti cheer" or root for underdogs because the worst possible thing that could happen from an EG fan perspective is LGD, Mineski, or TNC getting significant points. The closest thing I can cheer for is just VP shitstomping Liquid in finals, but god forbid someone beside those two make it to finals. lol. So ya it makes it wayyyy less interesting for me. Its bizarre to some people, but I watched every game of tourney up to this point, mostly live, and I definitely won't make the effort (which was significant) next couple days. Current status of teams I like has meant i've followed group stages of tourneys where I didnt bother to watch finals. sad days

The worst thing about teams with large stupid fanbases like liquid or EG losing games is the endless stream of dumb stuff people say about why they lost. rofl

I mean there so much you can do with core players like that. PPD or puppey or any captain would just be another col without actually effective core players

Depends on what you want to watch.

Some things i enjoyed:
+ Show Spoiler +
Shoujo shuumatsu ryokou - It's about two girls living in a wasteland after the world has ended basically, it's hard to explain the execution but it was very enjoyable to me. Some episodes are them finding something from the old world and then the episode revolves around that, sometimes they find something new and explore that instead.
+ Show Spoiler [opening] +


Net-juu no susume - Cute show about a girl that quits her job to play MMOs

Made in Abyss - Incredibly good show about a world where a hole into the earth is full of mystery, wonder and horror and where once you ascend deep enough into this hole you can't leave without dying. Story follows a young girl that wants to explore the abyss. This show surprised me but is legit really great.
+ Show Spoiler [opening] +


Boku no hero academia - A very well executed action/battle shounen story that is basically kind of what if everyone in the world became a x-man style mutant and society had to try and function like that. MC wants to be a hero in this world and go to the best hero school in the country.

Tsuki ga Kirei - Cute romance story about two introverted kids that fall in love

Boku dake ga inai machi - Great show featuring a main character with a special power that tries to save a girl in the past

Mob psycho 100 - From the creator of One Punch Man comes a show about an awkward teenager with nearly limitless psychic power that just wants to be popular and make the girl he likes fall for him, it's a neat show with great animation
+ Show Spoiler +

Included openings when they were available on youtube

thanks, put erased, net-juu no susume, and made in abyss on my to-do

my hero academia and mob psycho were boring to me

On top my head

Tsuki Ga Kirei ( actually decent school romance stuff)
Darling in Franxx (dystopian + mecha + exploration of coming of age theme .. weird stuff)
Shingeki no Kyojin season 2(assuming you like season 1 AOT)
Hibike Euphonium(was it later than 2015 ? anyways it's shirobako version of students who are part of the school band)
Konosuba Season 2 (must watch .. easily the most entertaining isekai ever)
Kuzu no Honkai (bunch of teenagers with insane hormone problems .. plenty of drama)
Gamers(misunderstanding the anime)
Violet Evergarden (PTSD saber )

sorry that's all i can remember and some of them are highschool shit

a lot of this list is teenage angst

Havent been watching too closely but thats kinda the nature of that role yeah? Ppd/rotk/puppey all have struck me as occasionally derpy and mechanically flawed players that are obviously brilliant when it comes to understanding the game based on their propensity towards winning.

The game doesn't work like that anymore. The competition is too good. You have to make shit happen with your roamer otherwise you simply lose. The teams with afk supports are the team that ends up struggling.

Can't remember who it was, but the person who suggested the points would be the middle 3 instead of top 3 made a lot more sense.

Was it Teddy?
