>university town
too old to start to be good at "esport"
I would approve of middle school gayming tho
Have we given up on the real world now? is this animeland?

>speedrunner community try to get through life and education as fast as possible
>that fucking kid who QPU misaligned and bunny hopped memes come to life
>>378114760
completely wrong lol
its about free time and focus, age is very irrelevant in most "esports"
most players in CS, Dota, and street fighter are late 20s
If it's anything like those esport bootcamps you see in Korea then I'm fairly certain that university will be hell on Earth for anyone that even remotely enjoys games. Also trust Tencent not to nickle and dime you every fucking time with the credit system. Probably like 150 credits for every game won while everything costs 10,000 credits each.
>>378114478
When are we going to get credits for making sex tapes, to train the next generation of professional porn stars.
>>378114910
all relevant players start taking gaming seriously as a competition or a job at very ages. By middle school and high school they are already competing.
This is especially true for ASSFAGGOTS dominated country like Chyna
>>378114785
fuck off gaming is the future.
>>378114478
Wish king of glory would get a fucking English release
Some watched way too many anime.
>>378114478
Interesting, but since it's china, it's gonna be a labor camp than an "amusement park", you probably won't have a good time. But if it goes well it could lead to things.

Fuck off
>>378115265
Chess should be included long before video games should be
Maybe they could allow Starcraft at Paralympics.
>>378114478
the next LN story for japan

>mixing the nerds with the jocks
You're retarded if you think video games can be taken seriously enough for the olympics.
>>378115265
Those all require interactions with real life objects/animals. All the hard work in video games is done by a computer, the player is just pressing buttons.
>>378117234
fuck off its takes top tier great game knowledge and muscle memory to be the best at games.all you need to do in sports it hit a ball.
>>378117412
Fuck off, nerd
>>378116426
Well you wouldn't get to attend any orgies at the athletes village, who the shit wants to fuck some lame as vidya nerd when you're literally rooming next to gods.
>>378117826
those random asian sluts that come to the tourneys but don't actually play the game.
