Today Team Liquid is proud to announce the creation of our Civilization Team and an initiative to launch Civilization VI into the world of competitive esports. We are also excited to introduce our newest addition to the Liquid family, legendary strategy gamer Stephen "MrGameTheory" Takowsky who will serve as the team's captain.

Very interesting. Love Civ games, but never actually watched any competitive or high skill games of any Civilization games.

so then Civ 6 has stable multiplayer and games that take less than 6 hours?

cause Civ 5 was competitive, but definitely wasn't an esport, it also needed a "pro mod" (NQ) to be balanced.

I had no idea Civ even had a competitive side. Best of luck to MrGameTheory in the Liquid family.

What are the game settings that are used in competitive games? Are these as long as high level chess games? Round based strategy can take a while...

Are there even big tournaments or leagues for CIV?

As exciting as this is, I wish I knew more about it. I don't know much about the scene, err I didn't even know there was a scene! Does anyone have any literature about the history of competitive Civ?

I haven't looked at the Civ VI thread, but I hope we can have 50 pages of debate on whether removing tile stacking was a good or bad idea like how we debate MBS in other parts of TL.

We'll have to see how this develops. Not too sure I'm interested in a CIV eSports scene.

FFA and 3v3. Random civs or a draft for FFA, identical civs on each side for 3v3. Small maps, Pangaea only, if you don't have the next 6 hours free on your schedule you shouldn't play (for civ 5)

No tournaments for money as far as I'm aware, but maybe that's changing for Civ 6.

Wait, people play this competitively?
The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.
