I had no idea civ 6 was competitive. Teamliquid really goes out there sometimes and I love them for it. I will pick up a copy and join in the madness I think.

This is very strange, I'll definitely check out some of whatever this is going to be since I like all kinds of strategy games...
But wow is this weird! glhf

The rules will likely be something like: "30 second turns, small, pangaea, balanced resources," etc.
Otherwise...?

after talking to MrGameTheory for this i'm actually pretty interested in seeing what competitive Civ is like. i've been playing since civ1 and didn't know there was a competitive scene, so i'm gonna tune in for sure. the game is certainly deep so it could be really cool.

MrGameTheory did you play with NQ in civ 5? I don't remember you from there.

Can't wait for firstclick advantage to decide a 6 hour competitive game, that sounds like fun. Maybe someone will make a working hybrid mode mod?

Can the network code even support this? It wouldn't have in 5.

If anyone wants to watch one of the people who was generally considered the best at civ 5 multiplayer, they should watch Arvius/anzleon or filthyrobot.

Civ IV was so much better than Civ V...

I'm hesitant to pick up Civ VI just now.

Great idea. I hope the team also produces good articles, Look forward to how these games are played on a competitive level (as someone who's spent hundreds of hours on the old games but never got competitive).

I can see this working from a streaming perspective since Civ allows for viewer interaction and personality stuff that games like Hearthstone allow, but from a esport standpoint I really would not think anyone would watch comp Civ. Games take hours and it would probably be kind of boring.

I am kind of doubtful about this. I can see it have decent viewership due to pure player numbers but not really having offline tournaments since it would take forever to run them to get a winner.

Awesome. Also amusing people are suprised about competitive play. I guess those people havent spent the last 5-10 years explaining how sc2 is an eSport.
