I know those are more complex problem which are hard to tackle in a first presentation talk about esport, but I feel like all of the manestream presentation of esports made it look way more professional and organise that it actually is. Ragging on esports is something we do in the esports community because we want to see it improve. Mainstream media ragging on esports does not help esports improve, it makes it harder for esports to grow. Besides that kind of shit happens in every sport. There's no reason to make a big deal out of it here. | ||

I am not saying that it should be some fox news bulshit, but it should at least be adress to gave a more adequate picture of esport. It does happen in other sport but in some small shady league, in sc2 we had a Kespa team at the highest level (Prime was not the best team but their player were still top 50 in the world) not paying their player, with all the other crappy things Gerard did. Plus I think many practice partener are getting pay very little even in bigger team (I could be wrong about that, but I remember reading things about that). These things will probably mostly go away when esport grow but I feel like it gave a false image of what starcraft is right now. I guest I am a bit to hard on them it is preaty hard to covert these type on things when you came from outside of the scene and also made it somewhat entertaining and not to confusing. | ||
