trick question. you shouldn’t.
Hahahaha…fuck no.
The fuck is wrong with you people? Equestrianism is a very valid and legitimate sport that even holds a spot in the Olympics.
I care more about nintendo’s e-reader than I do “e-sports” :lol:
Spoiler
I’m joking just incase you didn’t get it.
“In a game of StarCraft 2 anything can happen. This game is from the GOMTV StarCraft Open (GSL) Code S (the highest skill level). The clip below shows the last five minutes of a close matchup between MVP and Squirtle. MVP has a ton of battlecruisers (the strongest unit he can make) and Squirtle makes a blunder splitting his forces. An unbelievable demonstration of quick strategic thinking ensues.”
If he would have been part of the squirtle squad he wouldn’t have made that blunder.

Don’t forget japanophiles and guys that play those TERRIBLE dating simulators. Fucking potential rapist imo. I would hate to see one of those guys on steroids!!!
It’s actually going to be 2/3 at evo, but the reason it should be 3/5 is the fact that the game is very punishing for mistakes. The game is not random, and anyone who says the game is random needs to reevaluate the definition of random.
Rather than wasting people’s time with a thread about why I should care about esports, how about a thread, or an article, about why esports should care about the FGC?
I don’t get paid to play games so no one should.
>Still pretty fucking upset that athletes get paid more than people who work in schools, hospitals, and the military.
Fuck sports in general, let alone esports.
I’m tired of people getting attention they don’t deserve.
A good high school teacher gets 40k, the same as a GSL(Not counting tournament wins, special deals, or promos), the minimum salary of a rookie football player is like 300k. That’s some ol’ bullshit.
It’s their own fault for picking the wrong career.
Yup, that’s what’s wrong here.
eSports are the future, like it or not.
Its not the althlete’s fault for making more money then a teacher, just like its not Justin Wong’s fault for constantly placing top 8 and getting that pay-puh while you sit at home and watch/bitch about esports.
Verb. Its what you do.
The problem with a lot of people rallying around esports is that they take themselves too damn seriously, to the point that it becomes incredibly irritating. It’s they like enjoy the smell of their own wet farts.
I respect real sports way more than e-sports…
The amount of backbreaking hard work, talent, and overall genetic weirdness of professional sports players is way cooler than what some nerds that play video games all day call sports…
Get at me:mad:
Anybody can play video games… not everybody can become good enough to play against the best in any real sport…

Bet Daigo or J Wong can’t do this…
I can do that with both hands tied behind my back.
srk doesnt like esports for some weird reason.
but as for me, i am looking forward to the day when i can watch televised high level play anytime i want. that would be pretty fucking sick.
Esports. The only way fat guys like me can compete.
Irony is that they actually do, but only on certain terms.
Evo’s been going towards Esports for years, but they want total control, and don’t want to do it under anybody elses’ terms.
That video was absolutely incredible. Over 3000 LB of force… God damn, that guy is a fucking vending machine with legs. That amount of force can turn anybody’s rib cage and the stuff behind it, into mush.
aztec soldier is right.
I find it funny that most of the FGC hates Esports, but the FGC is worse than all the bullshit that Esports is. FGs is less about actually being the best and more about drama, fame, and money. The FGC has lost its way. Sure FGs were a lot less popular pre-09, but the drive to be the best was certainly a lot higher than it is now. To be honest, the FGC is a fucking joke now whether people want to admit it or not. Too many dickriders. Lazy “top” players that make excuses when they lose. Players that make money winning tournaments (or even through side bets or money matches) and then have donation streams so dickriders can give them free money for doing nothing. You have players playing games because they are popular and there’s money involved, even if they think the game is shit and competitively a joke (read: UMvC3), rather than playing games they enjoy and think are good.
I do like the fact that the FGC wants to remain raw and kind of do its own thing, but the fucking Hollywood shit NEEDS TO STOP. Get back to wanting to be the best, not wanting to be a poverty WWE that fucking plays video games. The FGC isn’t Esports, that’s for sure. It’s Bsports. B-rate sports. It’s fucking stupid and needs to go back to its roots.
