11v11 FIFA would be the greatest thing ever if EA gave a damn to actually work on that game mode instead of sitting on their FUT cash cow.

I could see orgs shying away from League teams in LCS regions unless they can guarantee a spot into LCS. There's not really that much value in supporting one otherwise. We'll see what happens with the DIGs.

league is too expensive, HS is literally free

probs


Hmm yea you prob right. Still sad how few big teams are in League. At least we got LGD and stuff in there for CN.

@Req - Yea fifa 1v1 is pretty big. It doesn't seem to populate the same circle as eSports titles though. I think here it was actually the largest player turnout out of any of the games, even Dota which is our biggest game. Just none of the guys that play Fifa actually are involved with esports.

I'm actually wondering what the next big genre is going to be.

First WoW exploded MMORPGs into the limelight.
Then LoL/DotA2 happened.

I have no idea what's next but I feel like it's going to happen.


Also thanks for the responses re:DotA. They were very helpful.

I think the real interesting thing about both WoW and LoL is the importance of timing. People often overvalue the importance of how good a product has to be instead of if it's the right product for the right time. LoL you can make a strong case of not being a particularly good product(At least not at the start) but the perfect one for the time. It filled the hole of people wanting a stand alone dota game and had the correct model to bring that base in. A year or 2 earlier/later and maybe no one would never know who Riot games are.

WoW is similar in that regard but I think the initial product was a bit better and more ambitious so it's harder to tell.

edit: Req what happened to Otter league fanfic? It was just building up to the lewd steamy affairs. I can feel it.

Next big thing will probably be virtual reality, not sure if thats a genre or not. I don't see any immediate threat knocking off MOBAs for at least 5 years

People forget that a league team is expensive as fuck to manage compared to FGC/HS where its more like heres some cash and travel money, win some tournaments.

I was thinking the voice had a mix of Sion's intonations and Gangplank's "accent"/rasp, turns out he dubbed GP too. Yay me.

He's the DM of Geek and Sundry's Critical Role.
It's absolutely amazing and I would recommend watching.

That's totally correct, but not really what I'm getting at (though it is relevant).

MMORPGs and MOBAs didn't surprise me much because I'd grown up with their forebears. I played MUDs as a kid, and enjoyed the original Aeon of Strife. I really enjoyed those games, so huge cultural smashes happening in those areas didn't come as a shock.

The thing is, there aren't really any genres I grew up with that haven't become a big deal or apparently had their chance.

I should probably include Minecraft in the list though, that's had a pretty significant impact.
