this sounds nothing more than lets rub ourselves on the back and exaclty how many of you are only here for SC2?

How many of you like BW?

What about LoL?

._.


Well, I'm not going to watch something I don't like. I like SC2 so I watch it. I like BW but, I don't really like watching VoD and have few occasion to stay up so I only watch important matches or matches involving team/players that I like. I don't like LoL (personal choice) so I don't watch it. I like DotA 2 so I watch it.

I don't really what your trying to say, if you don't watch every game out there you aren't an esports fan ?

since the title was " what have you sacrificed for esports"

and not "what have you sacrificed for starcraft"

im gonna say, parts of my school ( leaving me without a job or any career now when i really need it)

and instead ive got 7 years of 89% gaming in competitions and the last percent is work during these 7 years,

and i havnt got a single buck from it nor any attention, so id say most of my life is *****. to any young gamer watching this, when your parents say " dont play PC after 10 and go to school" , do listen ;P

I watch gsl live everytime it is on as well as every single tournament. I watch any terran stream of a good player. I still get sufficient 8 hours of sleep.

Oh no, please, do continue with your amazing and believable life story.

FOR ESPORTSSSSS

I personally don't care for the growth of esports. I just think starcraft 2 is an amazing game that deserves all of the attention it garners. A lot of people here would be lying if they did not agree with my sentiment.

"sacrifice" seems to be the an interesting word here. It sounds more noble than asking, "What have you neglected/ruined/altered/compromised for ESPORTS!"

In high school, the BW days, I basically wasted much of my time on the computer on said game, letting my grades tailspin, my outdoor adventures become a distant memory, and severely crippled my social life. I played toooo much.

If the question has to do with the "growth of ESPORTS," i.e. the growth of profits for all the lovely sponsors of the billions of SC2 tournaments: probably nothing.

I don't understand why so many people made stupid life choices for eSports.....

I mean, I'm in college and I work a full time job, and still have time for eSports....hell I have time to go to every major North American LAN.

It's not really the time I feel is "sacrificed" because it's what I love and enjoy doing. The real sacrifice, at least on my end, is all the damn travel expenses T_T

One of the best days of my life.
