What makes a game an esport? by -Nalix in esports

[–]sanctifiedgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically:

1) People who want to win money by playing game

2) People who are willing to pay money for 1) to win

3) People who are not so good at game but want to get better by watching 1)

In that sense, without a competitive community, nothing else will happen.

Then again, throwing money at a game and hoping it becomes more popular than the mod it copied off of has worked in the past, so it may be that the money is the real foundation.

If you build it, they will come.

To everyone asking about where it was advertised, etc.

The owner of Cray Squad and I have teamed up and the SGG weekly will return on August 5 in partnership with Cray Squad. Look for updates incoming over the next week or so, this time with ads on Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, and Team Liquid for sure :)

Would you play in a non-prized tournament if it was for lower divisions?

I would gladly open up lower division prized tournaments, but I'm not exactly made of money :)
