This guy is a fucking idiot... He doesn't even mention specific games... And the "200 progamers" are just kids who think they are good because they can beat single player games, probably never even played competitively...

oh, and have you ever heard about bringit ? seems to be in the same trend of "eSport firms"


Right now there are two people on the bringit forums, with an all-time high of... 16. It doesn't seem to be making a lot of buzz. The guy who posted after the article you linked to basically outlined why the costs of running online betting outweigh the the profit growth.

I totally agree with Steve though. It has to start with a single game, and a single platform. There is too much to cover if you go for all platforms and 30 games. It becomes very difficult to market without a large staff and budget.


it becomes a gimmick basically

"gaming" is not the draw. the idea of people playing video games is not what makes esports possible, it's the games and the players themselves. they have their own playerbase and fans, esports has to start there or it fails 100% of the time


You really tell the truth, most of all in this sentence: "the idea of people playing video games is not what makes esports possible, it's the games and the players themselves".

Did I miss something? ASL was a fake tournament afterall? I'm sorry if this has been discussed a million times before.

On topic:
paying to play on ladders and "getting drafted to pro teams" sounds really stupid... i'ts just NOT going to happen lol.

This kind of thing pisses me off. It makes Esports look like a joke and gives our entire community look bad.

Stuff like this is bound to happen, lets hope some better versions of this don't fail but that this one does.

EDIT:

Rofl, searched for it on google and 4th link goes to TL.

This guy cant be serious..."He says its going to be like the NFL." please, the shit is going to die out faster than the XFL. Some of these games possibly run longer than most American runtimes (with little to no commercial breaks) allow, so, unless there is a lot of money coming in from sponsors then there is no possible way this can work.

One last thing that just brings my piss to a fine boil is that guy with the Power Glove. It's overused, it doesn't make you badass and the peripheral sucked badly. That's like if I were to construct a crazy gauntlet out of parts of an Atari Jaguar.

It's an ancestor which should be removed from all memory.

also cheerleaders? come on now I think the crowd's gusto should suffice (but this IS America with the need for eyecandy eyecandy eyecandy).
