Since the move, money has been pouring into esports like cake batter into a pan, covering every inch of it. After all, esports had to mature to reach a wider audience right? Money and Politics Someone looking back and saying that it wasn’t like what it used to be so it’s worse. It’s not “setting a good example” to mock and laugh at someone you beat in a perfect match. It’s not “right” to scream in an enemy’s face. In this way, esports has to move towards normalization and political-correctness. Games are designed to have esport scenes from the ground up, vying to be the next big part of the pantheon. A once-niche audience of seeing who was the best is now prime time entertainment for the masses. To me, the main problem with esports is the move towards widespread entertainment and consumption. These days, you’re lucky to get someone saying they’ll easily beat an enemy. When someone got demolished in a match, you could bet that they’d throw their controller and scream some horrible epithets about their opponent. I’d compare it to something of an underground fight club, where you could only really catch these matches on the tail-end of a shaky recorded youtube compilation. Things like vulgar language, fights and money matches were common.
What really changed my point-of-view on the subject is remembering part of why I loved old esports: It was an untamed wilderness.īack then, esports were an uncertain field. I could argue that I outgrew esports but when you have journalists, players and people who are decades older than I am, it’s not a strong argument.
Sure, I watch Worlds and see what’s happening at The International but the drive to remain current and up-to-date is gone for me. I’ll be blunt that I was never really invested in the new wave of esports. It makes me sad that all of that is gone. I remember the hype and memes surrounding the MLG circuit with Halo and everyone scrambling to throw together a team for an online tournament.
#GIT GUD OVERWATCH TOURNAMENT PRO#
I remember watching pro Starcraft and getting frustrated when I didn’t have the dexterity or the APM to play it on a professional level. I remember watching EVO Moment #37, not really understanding why it was a big deal but getting hype anyways. Rather, I have a pick-up truck worth of memories where I recall how things happened and the stories associated with them. In my case, when it comes to esports, I don’t have a singular fond memory that makes me go “That’s it.
