I agree. When I said that he has a lack of social skills, it wasn’t meant as an insult as he has been very aware of said lack and has talked about them in the past.

Overwatch as an eSport is in the process of hitting its peak. It’s currently blazing new ground for eSports as a whole and is our first experience with any eSport running something similar to a traditional sports league. The LCS is in the process of moving the same way.

Incorrect. Again. It’s almost like you have no clue what you’re talking about.

You’re wrong, though. You very clearly have no understanding of the Overwatch eSports scene so I’m not sure why you’re acting like you do.

God forbid I expect a section of a gaming news site focused on competitive gaming to cover competitive gaming, that would be insane.

I love this line of logic!

Compete is a section dedicated to competitive gaming. This article is not about competitive gaming. This article does not belong in Compete. It’s pretty simple.

If you’re going to make a fundamentally counterfactual argument, there’s not much of a point to dignifying it with a proper response. Arguing that it’s failing is factually incorrect. Period.

God forbid people put effort into putting out content or develop an understanding of what they’re supposed to be writing about. That’s insane!

This article is not about competitive gaming. The section is. Thus, the article does not belong in this section. Not, only can you find Compete’s purpose at the bottom of some of the articles here but there are items that are actually related to competitive OW (read: professional OW) that are being actively neglected…

Compete is a section dedicated to competitive gaming. This article is not about competitive gaming. This article does not belong in Compete. It’s pretty simple.

This section is about competitive gaming, this article is not about competitive gaming. That is why it is not newsworthy.

First, irrelevant.

It didn’t. xQc is not an OWL player. There are actual newsworthy things to focus on, this is not one of them.

It’s not newsworthy at all when a pro on a smurf is accused of hacking. This shit is constant, it’s only getting coverage because Kotaku hates xQc.

It is. 31%, in this situation, is astronomical. I’m sorry that you don’t fully comprehend this, but 31% crit accuracy is insane.

It’s not about competitive gaming and thus should not be in a section about competitive gaming. It’s pretty simple.

18 is the minimum age to play in OWL. Fl0w3R is a superstar player who is now eligible to play, it’s a very big deal. Especially with where NYXL is with their DPS roster and how difficult it could be to slot him in.

31% is astronomical. Saya probably had a strong start on a smurf, so sample size should come into play, but 31% is astronomical. It being fair to make the assumption doesn’t mean that the assumption is correct, it just means that its grounded in reality to a sufficient degree that it’s not something random out of left…

You’re moving the goalposts, initial expectations from investors was ~20k viewers. You don’t build a league overnight, and it was not expected or intended to compete with traditional sports leagues from the outset.
