Is there any Tournament or casters to explain in-deep the game ?

We are about as far from april first as we can be but I still had to check the date

Competitive Civ, next we will pick up a Settlers of Catan team.

Say what you want but with the expansion pack with knights and cities, Settlers is an incredibly deep game for how little bookkeeping it needs in the paper form

Oh, I like Settlers of Catan and Civ. I just don't see it getting an audience

Also from the article "MrGameTheory currently plays for Team Liquid's Clash Royale team" Wait what? When did this happen

I love that TL is expanding but I don't see Civ catching on as a lucrative competitive e-sport. In an industry large player base, flashy plays, and shorter games dominate, the length and depth of your standard Civ game won't be able to appeal to a large audience, I feel.

Wait, isn't Civ VI still a turn-based game? We're not exactly talking chess or go kind of turn-based either. Can we somewhat play the turns simultaneously because otherwise it'll truly be a bore to watch.

i dont know about civ VI but simultanous turns were "the standard" way to play Civ IV

and it still took weeks to finish a single game

I think you guys are missing the point. If you think that Civ is not a fun game to watch then it just means that it's not for you. I don't think that the point of a competitive scene for Civ is to compete with the esport behemoths, but to appeal to a niche audience (like me).

And for those of you who complain that it's too long: Come on, a BO5 of Lol can take up to 4+ hours. A competitive match of Civ with the new "online" speed will last much shorter than this.

uh, it's interesting that a game where games are not short is considered an eSports.

Normally you got simultaneosly turns till you are at war with each other and then it is one after another.

But can anyone who actually knows how CIV esports work, tell me what setups are played?
Team games?
Mapsize?
Mapconfig?
From stone age to modern age?

What are the key elements of a "standard" match?

I still miss a game of CIV II (that's how old I am) and no version came close to it in terms of entertainment for me, but I haven't seen the latest versions to be fair.

..and yeah, unless something has changed dramatically with how the game is played, a match could go on for many days, no? Which isn't necessarily a problem. We just have to learn to follow a game over days, much like cricket fans I suppose?

You are right about Bo3-Bo5-Bo7 format. (In AoE2 final matches playing Bo11 regularly) but still you are missing a point. These are completely independent matches. Every round matters, every round plays differently, every round has its own story.

I dunno, I thought Civ II and Civ III were great right out of the box. Civ IV was also pretty good, but buggy for me. But Civ V didn't grab me at all somehow.
