Civ was always something I played to relax, I wonder how it looks when pros play it.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I understand wanting to be a leader of the pack, but what if your pack consists of only you? This could either be huge for TL, or fail miserably. Quite a big risk IMO.

How do we get our foot in the door for this competitive civ 6? :D

I doubt they invested a lot of money into this and I'd be surprised if the players got a real salary from TL. They got like a dozen different teams in different games already, not seeing any real risk here.

Also never heard of comp Civ till now.

Yeah you're probably right, I doubt they are investing a huge amount into this.

So are people expected to sit and watch a marathon game for 20+ hours? How can it be esport if it can't be watched?

This is pretty cool, but I'm having trouble processing the idea of Civ as an "esport". Can't help but think a game would last even longer than a Go match.

Interesting. I'm not convinced that Civilization can become an eSport (unless Firaxis pushed specifically towards that, and even then), but best of luck to Liquid Civ.

Hell yeah, strategy.
How fast can a civ match be?
Could it be ESPORTS?
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.
