But here's the big picture. What esports really needs are + Show Spoiler +
girls
Girls are 50% of the human race. That's 50% of an audience that we're not utilizing. Let's face it, video games, and especially the esports aspect of video games, are mainly made up of guys. It's a huge sausage fest, and sausage fests are only cool in Germany.
But can girls ever be attracted to esports? Hell yeah they can. Look at BW and all the fan girls you hear screaming. How often do you hear that in SC2 or any other game? So how come it worked in BW? Well, if I knew I'd probably be making a lot more money than I am now. My best guess is that Boxer is a good looking dude (and he is). Girls also attract guys. More girls means more guys. It's a law of physics.
Oh, and a small note - for the love of god put on some deodorant when you go to MLG or other lan events. Girls don't like smelly things, and frankly I don't either.
