How esports changed the game: From media laughingstock to media craze

I know it's 6 years old but who the fuck edited it so that warriors was double audio... Literally fucking painful.

It's shocking to me people couldn't possibly imagine watching someone play a game while.... watching.... other people.... play a game.... but it's a sport's game....

Guys this is a message from 2023 saying that we haven’t made it yet. Smash bros community just shot itself in the foot and corporates are looking to take control of things and tournament organizers still can’t get their shit together which is what is holding us back from being like actually successful. I’m talking like “selling team jerseys with your name on it” or “apparel deals with major brands” kind of successful.

good god too bad Billy Mitchell became a huge cheating scumbag a while after this video came out holy crap

Billy mitchell, bad look.

So why your using a Jimmy Kimmel skit that is a satire of people watching someone player a video game as a "insult gaming community and gamers" and this video is like this why esports is so popular "no scope boi" so we are going to watch mostly Asians play a top down MOBA and say that their athletes and get payed more playing with their buttons unlike Lionel Messi, LeBron James, Patrick Mahomes, or even people like Max Verstappen.

I'll just play Splatoon 3

after the league segment i said to my self "alright, now bring in the dota"

I got fucking brain rots for a stupid thing there is a yt channel called game quitters its main objective is to make people quit gaming and he have 20k subs

Gotta admit that song at the end was peak cringe

u know, i don't think that media change it's mind and the ones who backtalked about it, just that different people replaced them with a more open view about the sports. that's the thing about humans, the change comes with the youth

2022 :) anyone here boys

lmao that dude

Listening to Kimmel is worse than listen to farts. That degenerate has all the bad qualities one could possibly have. He's a racist, sexist, disrespectful, arrogant, ignorant and the list goes on..... And I've never even heard about that coward shit or whatever his name is, seems worse than Kimmel.

Oh yeah u don't watch two people beat a ball with two weird sticks over what is essentially a cloth dryer, or twenty people try to either catch a ball or try to launch it outside the ground, also what's the point of seeing people brawl over some weird egg shaped ball .

Why listen to music when you can make it? Why watch a movie or show when you can be a actor? Why watch sports when you can play it

The only sport that's not esoort that is entertaining is ufc. I love watching people kick the shit out of eachother

Without e sports gaming memes will not exist

Billy Mitchell is and always be a cheating fraud. Deserves NO recognition whatsoever.

Mainstream media in a nutshell: You shouldn't come up with your own opinions and conclusions. Stop thinking so hard. We can do that for you! With a little help from our big pharma sponsors and your dutiful government....

Hahahahahhaahaha TAKE THIS mom and dad who would tell me to stop playing "those DAMN videogames!!" or those 3 X girlfriends who broke up with me because all i did was "Play that video game!!!"

Ya didn't see this ENDGAME I had in mind, did you? :D Who's laughing ALL the way to the BANK now???$$$$$$$$$

F

Maaan you can make a billion from esports

I'd rather watch The Internatiol full of action constantly getting my mind blown away by seeing new strategies i never thought of instead of soccer where people go down screaming when u barely touch them.

Riot games shook the world

Man! LoL just explode

What would Esports look like in 2020?

Esports now: heheh boi

It's crazy to think this came out before Fortnite hit it's competitive peak, so just imagine what they would say if the World Cup had happened.

Sad reality : to Gen Alpha or even more generation we will be treated like boomer . we'll actually be shitting about "kids these days n shit".

So that woman that said that if you don't break a sweat it isn't sports don't know that Chess is a sport right?

And why people don't say "why are you watching football? Go play it yourself" too?

"why watch someone play the game when you can play it yourself?"
"Why watch a talk show when you can talk to someone yourself?"

Cant blame colin and kimmel. Lol is for kids. But dota is the real deal

We live in a society wherein gamers are the most oppresed types of dudes. This time we still are but were gonna kick ass doing itm

why would you watch someone play a video game instead of playing it?..
Why do ya watch sports? movies? Even fucking porn? think about it lads

I'm a gaming guy myself. But I of the same mind with Kimmel. I don't enjoy watching other people playing games. I enjoy playing it.

3 years ago he predicted the gaming scene in 2020, if he only tried to predict a little more, maybe some of the unwanted stuff could have been avoided and we would have had actual places filled with gamers instead of the sad room you sit in and watch it online. Face it, even video games are much better live when you interact and shit:'(

Competitive gaming is a very cool thing, I am 44 and part of a VR gaming league myself and I love it!

The old minds can't face new reality and even mocking it while they knew nothing.

It's really fun to hear these boomers make fun of eSports and video games while these are on the verge of actually killing their shows and enterprises

“Esports aren’t sports.”
She’s right you know Esports aren’t sports.






Esports are, as the name suggests, Electronic Sports.

watching someone play the game i like = nope (media were making fun of this )
watching players compete in the game i like = hell yeah (this is what everyone loves )

:/ the pain of other's not understanding me


Is just never forgivable

Just like my parents not understanding me :(

Dota2 is one of the high skill and high prizepoll game
