Why are brits a joke nowadays?

I just don't understand the big push to get eSports on television. Everybody that is already interested in them is watching on streams, and I can't imagine normies channel surfing over these broadcasts and having any interest in them. Only explanation I can possibly come up with is they're getting more ad revenue by being on TV.

>>385520634

Millenials don't watch real sports; they watch esports. Soon football, soccer, basketball, etc will be like baseball where only old people watch it.

Really makes my brain think

Doesn't mean they aren't a joke. It's fun seeing high level people play, but the way e-sports tries to present itself as serious and professional with the announcers and interviews and shit is just so lame.

I thought BBC 3 wasn't even on TV anymore? Isn't it just online now?

They've already tried this recently in the US and Canada and it failed spectacularly. ESPN, GINX Esports TV, TSN and SportsNet have all had esports channels that you can order and they were some of the most unpopular channels they've ever tried. GINX is still burning through VC money and ESPN is still trying but they're both failing miserably.

Absolutely nobody outside of gaming gives a shit about esports and most of people that play games regularly also don't give a shit about esports. It's made even worse because there's a bunch of different games trying to be esports and most people won't watch games that they don't play. Overwatch League failing will put the final nail in the coffin and the investment money will dry up.

It's just esport, come on! It gives rating!

why do people consider eSports going on mainstream TV "progress"?
It's a regression. You're essentially providing content to people that will not watch it, and do not like the humour that is usually present in these types of tournaments.

You're the cancer that's killed competitive "gaming" (cringe). It used to be fun and people messing around, but because of faggots like you "muh professionalism" was enforced and now no one's allowed to say anything because it might hurt the BBC CEO fee-fees and then he won't put us on next season.

Fuck you.

>>385523065
It used to be the BBC's "trendy" 18-24s channel but it fell into irrelevence and Family Guy repeats over the years, so now it's online only.

First off, don't make such bold-faced statements if you have no clue what you're talking about. People build aimbots into fucking mouse drivers. It's definitely possible and easier than you might think.

Second, you can see from the clip, especially to the part where he rewinds and slows down on, that he cannot help but fire his guns when he scrolls over the blue pixels representing the enemy. His 'pixelbot', as it's called, makes him shoot the wall at the exact spot where the enemies are coming out of spawn, and he tries to cover it up by spraying and swinging his mouse around.

Its not a sport. They are not athletes. In real sports like football or soccer, talented individuals become professionals and in turn earn lots of money and fame as a result of their talent.

In "E-sports" popular kids with friends/connections get to sit on their ass and get paid for it. There is no skill or talent involved. Any "Professional gamer" would get shit on by the average joe. Take league as an example, there are thousands of players who are at or far above the level of most of the pros, yet theyre never even given a chance set foot into the pro scene. Instead, popular kiddos are just passed around from team to team until they eventually get bored with playing, and then they're given an "analyst" or caster position, or just start begging for more handouts on twitch.

"Esports" are a fucking joke and it will never be taken seriously so long as skill and talent plays absolutely zero role.

Chess is a sport. checkmate

Top tier chess players are basically super geniuses. Top tier gamers are sub 80 IQ degenerate retards. Chess players deserve respect, gamers do not.

While I agree it's not a "real sport", you have other shit that on ESPN that also shouldn't quality. Why is curling considered a real sport? Chess? Speed eating? Poker? Dodgeball?

Fighting game tournaments where literally anyone can enter pretty much never get upset by "average joes."

It's one of, or a combination of the following:
1. kids that need shitposting fuel
2. newfags that unironically think this is going to kill video games
3. newfags with no drive or motivation to learn or git gud at anything, so they curse the birth of pro players out of spite

Such is life

Somehow the BBC keep getting worse and worse

I assume only non-whites will be allowed to compete?

As an e-sport fan, I was really lonely here in 2008-2009, so your new is showing.

>BBC
esports was already on twitch and twitch gets more viewers and money than the BBC

>>385522050
BBC three is already off air in the U.K. It's an online service only.

It really doesn't, only the clinical ones work for me, and those are expensive.
