Boring.


I've watched tournaments and I love when commentators go crazy, but I hate the boring, professional ones that have no enthusiasm.

This is great, it doesn't matter that I don't understand the word, I FEEL it.

I haven't really watched any tbh, they seem like fun though

About the moment pointed out in your video: that was pretty cool.

Although I do get what you're saying overall.

Depends on games and commentators

I still subconsciously think people are joking when they mention e-sports.

I think people should be payed for their skills and skills should be on tv or netflix.

Dont call it a sport

love watching fighting games and league, dislike other mobas/shooters and such.

Their only practical utilities are for streamers and/or for casual players to learn tips and tricks from for their own purposes. So in one instance it's strictly competitive business, and in another instance it helps casuals improve within their own zones if they want to improve on something.

I don't hate pros, I just never had the ambition to "go pro" (no pun intended).
If I do get into an eSports game, it's because I find fun entertainment in the causality of it, not because I'm trying to go pro with it. I have an appreciation for goofy game mechanics, is the thing. As a casual gamer, I think they're funny. That's what makes gaming enjoyable for me.

By direct paradox it's usually the same goofy gaming mechanics that pros typically tend to hate and typically tend to be the bane of their existence in some format or another because those same game mechanics tend to be the most exploited mechanics (because they work).

The thing is, that I get no satisfaction as a gamer out of winning.
I get satisfaction as a gamer out of "hey here's this funny, goofy, kinda broken thing that just should not be, yet is. Let's laugh at it."
--As you can see, I've never taken gaming too seriously.

But seriously though,broken and busted or exploitative mechanics have been around in games pretty much since the dawn of video games.
I mean, look at King of Kong for a good example:
Game was never fully finished.
So once you get higher up in it goofy stuff starts to happen.

To the competitive Donkey Kong player, that's a very serious thing.
To me, I'm just like: "LOL there's no platform there. I mean there is, but you can't see it."

its embarrassing

It's a disgrace to call it a sport.
