Thread: Do you watch eSports?

    I don't get it, I mean, it's like standing next to someone that's working and watching him/her enter stuff on an spreadsheet and clicking the mouse and pressing a few buttons. Something I can do myself at any age and actually something I am doing.
    Basically, why should I watch other people in my spare time, doing the things I do when I work or play. I'd rather do something completely different.

    The only sport I watch is F1 - not something I can ever do myself



    hence the no watching of esports

    Think this has been covered quite extensively on here. I think the main problem why LOTS of people even gamers do not know about streaming is because is is rarely shown on TV. Then some gamers do not watch it on TV because the games that are shown are ancient. So that leaves us with one option is to stream it. And with our internet streaming is not always possible.

    TV? No matter what platform, I don't think I'll watch eSports. And I don't think it's about gamers knowing about it or not, cause they do.

    The International. Although not solely intended for watching TI7, I actually took the entire week off that it was taking place and I ended up watching a lot of the games live and on the big screen via Steam In-Home streaming. I've also contributed to the prize pool every year it has taken place by purchasing a Compendium / Battle Pass.

    No, I don't. I tried watching esports, but it just does not interest me in the slightest. It doesn't help that the games they play are all games I dislike deeply.

    Second on watching The International whenever I can. It's not just about watching someone else play it's about watching someone with skills that are far superior to anything I am capable of and every so often I even learn something.
