Video games will never be a sport because they are constantly changing. Part of the reason why sports like football and baseball are so popular is because they've remained largely the same over many generations. Kids grow up watching a sport with their parents, and then pass that fandom on to their own children. Nobody will be playing League of Legends or whatever 10 years from now.

MOBA's are highly addictive also.
>>58317058
it's a downsized, babby RTS with your basic control point objectives and deathmatch modes.
The trick is, the companies release the game for free and sell the characters at high prices, making a goldmine.
The only time MOBA are watchable is when the teams are constantly hacking and counter hacking each other in real time.

eventually one team becomes more powerful and eventually breaks through the other teams side.

Knowing the characters and their skills and how to counter them is basically the entirety of the game. I think most MOBAs do a rotation, so one week you'll have 5 characters you can use for free, then next week there will be another 5 and the previous ones will be locked, but if you buy them you can use them at any time.

New thread when??
a big problem with esports, or what ever your autism leads you to call them, is that it's very hard to understand whats going on if you've never played. In traditional/real sports the "mechanics" so to say are just physics and are mostly universal, even the most casual viewer will have a base understanding about how the actors are moving around the field, so even if they cannot comprehend the strategy or nuance of the game they can appreciate how fast someone or running or how hard they threw a punch. But in games the mechanics are made up by a developer and aren't very intuitive to people who haven't spent at least a little time in the game, which makes it very hard to become a spectator sport.

that's why fighting games are infinitely better as spectator sports. The concept is simple: beat the shit out of the other guy to win.

I dunno shit about Starcraft, all I know is that people get bored of old video games and new ones are constantly coming out, just like film. Sports are practically the only thing that stay the same, sometimes the rules change slightly but the base product is the same
ladies and gentlemen, your 2015 HOTD MVP
>>58317493
Yes actually.
Starcaft is (outside of korea) not popular at all compared to how it used to be. And starcaft is even falling out of popularity compared to moba there.
MOBA is the hot new thing, with csgo in second. Starcaft is a pretty decent third.
Personally I enjoy csgo the most, the short rounds require more individual skill and team tactics.
