London Spitfire is too good 
Overwatch League.. the next step in "e-sports" - $4.5 million tournament winning
- Thread starter itsyoung!!
- Start date
Agreed. Even though I think the game is relatively shytty overall, the key component for ease of viewing is sorely lost on OW.
I find CS boring too, but it is WAY more accessible than OW is for viewers. Plays better too.

I don't doubt the games popularity. It's just my opinion that the game is lousy to play and even more lousy to watch.
Yup. It's terrible for spectators, and i genuinely lost interest once they went wijth region based teams
What do you mean region based teams? Like representing certain cities or the players on teams?
Yeah. Instead of using established orgs, they had them buy in, but create new region based teams.
So optic gaming had to be the Houston Outlaws
NV is Dallas fuel
Cloud 9 is london whatever
Etc
I just dont care
Yeah I feel you there. I was always a fan of Lunatic Hai so I think it's cool that they kept together.
It will start shaking up soon with free agents and shyt. But I honestly think it's better for the moment that teams stayed together for the teamwork. I find most matches enjoyable to watch.
The parity is actually better than I thought too, most people felt Seoul would just run through everyone, but when the top teams get together the shyt is really competitive (see NY/London earlier today).

this seems like a really petty reason to be uninterested in something
because the name of the teams is different

How is 250k viewers > 450k viewers
Total views for the day was 1.3 million for CS (still high). Overwatch 1st day was like 5 million.
Not even close
Don't care, Overwatch is trash.
It's still cs go >>>>

Back in the day we used to swing Nintendo controllers at each other for stealing "guys" in Contra...
Would happen because nobody wanted to sit and watch the other dude play...
Now people actually want to watch others play games and they make millions off it?

People weren't doing competitive Contra with millions of dollars on the line. The comparison is goofy.
Its no different than watching any other sport. These players pull shyt off that you can't pure and simple...go look and some of that Widowmaker play from cats like Pine and tell me you doing shyt like that consistently.

I'm never going to be able to watch somebody play video games...
Don't care how good they are, I always want to be the one with the controller...
That's how its been since I was a kid, hence why I brought up Contra...
Props to those making money off this though...
That's fair. I felt the same way until I watched EVO streamed like 5 years ago. From there I was hooked. I can watch any FGC event, OWL and even some PUBG. What I CAN'T get into is CS:Go for the life of me I cannot seem to get any entertainment out of it.
