No, those are people who like gaming and enjoy participating in their communities.

It is when devs try to force it when the game just releases

Massive over-inflated prize money is cancerous.
Honestly, players don't deserve to become overnight millionaires for winning one tournament.

>>334464764
No. You are.

Considering how competitive games are, those guys have to practice ALOT. But yeah, even if so, tournaments are always chance.

I can't imagine actually going to watcg e sports in real life

e"sports" grew out of the same cancer that everything else in modern gaming grew out of: a fucked up movement in the mid-90s to casual style over substance "gaming" to grow gaming by bringing in people that didn't like actual, good games.
>>
>>334467290
Are you fucking mental? You think your weaboo games are better games than esport games?
LoL, CS, Dota are all 100% gameplay, no bullshit story or other crap that isn't game.
>casual
stop spouting that word as if it meant anything, e"athletes" are more hardcore everyday than you ever were or will be.

sjw pandering devs are imo

snap back to reality ohp there goes gravity

>>334467903
>weeaboo games
What weeaboo games? Doom 1? Ultima? Games back when games fucking mattered?

Gaming died in the mid-90s. They SPECIFICALLY BEGAN TO MAKE GAMES FOR YOU NUCASUAL NUGAMERS that was all about style over substance. You are the very definition of casual, long before it was corrupted by you nugamers.

It is a cancer, no doubt, but a minor cancer, like breast cancer. Easily treatable and only bitches get it. There are worse cancers in gaming that affect us all with no cure in sight,

I'd say the scenes that have a stick up their ass can go fuck themselves.

We need more stupid WWE bullshit like they have in the FGC and Melee communities.

E-celebs are the biggest cancer in modern history.

Why are British people the worst player nation?

I was gonna argue, but I think you might be right.
When I was younger, 6 or so years ago I would just love playing Quake3 even against bots. Now I set up a match, I get bored before 20min timer runs out. And no, I am not worse player, I'm actually doing much better.

>>334464764
Someone's jealous that people are making money playing games and having fun while they sit in their gray cramped cubicle doing the same low paying 9 to 5 office job everyday until they finally die.

Worst part is that the most popular competitions take place on terrible games like CSGO or League.

>>334468396
I used to think I hated all Europeans, /int/ made me realize I only hate british people.
