Fundamentally, there is nothing wrong with competitive gaming.
HOWEVER, the problem comes in when people think that they're just like the pros, or try to act like pros when they're not that good.

"electronic sports"
"electronic"
What's so hard to understand retards?
The most boring shit ever.
The only acceptable vidya tournaments to watch are for fighting games because there are always some niggers in the audience who are ready to start a fight.

At least you move your whole body, while in e-sports you're just an hunchback with your eyes glued to the screen while you move your fingers

Despite the best efforts and millions thrown at it, It will never hit the mainstream because no competitive game will remain relevant for long enough. The whole thing peaked in Korea with Starcraft. The rest is a slow tumble downhill.

Logically speaking it is a good concept because it can provide what real life can't.
>An more even playing field
Granted it still would not be 100% even because of factors like reaction times.
Realistically though its cringe-worthy. Its just a bunch of faggots acting like gaming is super serious.

you really wanna know?

The term is already coined and present in the dictionary.
At this point you may as well argue that email is not a real mail.

>Its just a bunch of faggots acting like gaming is super serious.
good point
Once you make gaming super serious all the fun is lost.
>>339812304
>implying it's not serious when you're playing for tens, hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars
>>339812304
Exactly, compared to men and women who physically train everyday to be at peak performance. Along with the tradition of the Olympics and the prospect that Gladiators once were.

Real sports are surprisingly similar to "e-sports", right down to the raging whenever your team loses.

Also how literally everyone at the pro level is cheating

You are playing fucking video games. It's not sport. Faggots.

SHUT THE FUCK UP SO WHAT IF I'M FAT
MY LORD GABEN TOLD ME THAT I'M AN ATHLETE
Talking about esports on a forum mostly populated by americans is pointless.
US owns half of the market, wich means they have the highest rate of people interested in video games in the world. Yet, through some miracle, they manage to be the worst in every single relevant esport. Go and see what teams have been winning world cups for the last ten years.
americlaps are the worst players in the world and talking about competetive vidya here would be like talking about diets in a fat acceptance community.
>>339812968
If unfit people getting anywhere in competitive environment is such a deal breaker, than why do amerifats love baseball so much?
>>339810247
Should have just stayed tournaments. Pure cancer.

leave fighting games alone you jews

Having a game you like go for e-sports is the worst because people talk about the people instead of the game.

Who gives a shit
I don't have a problem with it, but the presentation is pretty cringe inducing at times. Mostly the commentators who sound like they're way into it, but at the same time they realize they're doing commentary for a fucking video game competition and it just feels embarrassing for both the commentators and the audience. There's money to be made in it for the happy merchants if they market it right now. Like making a FGC based tv show set in an old rustic warehouse where people stand in a circle and around the tourneyfags and just have unfiltered shittalking between them, tapping into the whole underground Fight Club vibe.
