Do You Watch Esports, Why or Why Not?

[delspf]

Hearthstone and PUBG were the two main games I watched all the time. Stopped PUBG watching maybe a year ago when everyone started playing fortnite and other games ( ain't watching fortnite if you paid me )

Hearthstone just **** the bed the past year and a half. I might catch a tournament now and again on twitch but its not a priority in the slightest. Although recently found myself catching some battleground streams from Kripp or Savjz since I actually play that game mode.

My follow list use to be PUBG and HS. Now its basically GTA RP. Games in general is at a low ( for what i am interested in ).

I was never a big online multiplayer guy in the "esports" genre. I don't even have a mic, don't play FPS games anymore ( COD MW and Americas Army were my last MP FPS ), have zero interest in League of Legends or that other one.

NEVER been a sports game online player ( or viewer ) either. Always been about sim/franchise modes for me.

Place me firmly in the camp that enjoys watching tournament style play of FPS type games, but I cannot watch sports game played competitively. I hate to sound like that guy, but most of what I see in the sports e series games are what I think is wrong with the direction of sports video games.

Imagine if eSport tournament players played CoD multi-player like an RPG...walking up to one another and emoting each other to communicate and then walking around the map together to try and find all the weapons as their quest. You would scream, "What are you guys doing??!!! That is NOT how you're supposed to play the game you morons!!!!".

That's how I feel when I watch any eSport of a real-life sport....
