Since I'm terrible at Starcraft I like to watch people who are good at it. Plus the announcers are funny as hell and get Soo hype
Always enjoyed CS:GO pro league, at least the evenly matched games. The streams of some of the players can be interesting also. Casters are pretty great and also the production value is normally pretty solid.
I like to specifically watch Ultra Street Fighter 4. My favorite team is Evil Geniuses, but I follow Team Razor, Team Madcatz and Team Liquid. In Evil Geniuses my favorite player is Justin Wong, in team Razor my favorite player is Xian, in team Madcatz my favorite player is Daigo Umehara, and in team Liquid my favorite player is knuckledu
I can't wait for 2016 e sports is going to take if. Since activison has acquired MLG(I believe it was confirmed) MLG now has additional funds than biting their nails. Personally I don't watch it much e sports but the bigger it gets the community growth will reflected by it, and all the community grow.
Lots of people said that it's the work attitude. The higher elo level in korea is about the same as in all other regions, the teams are a lot better at developing their players tho. They work way harder than the NA/EU/CN teams, which is why they're so good. They find talent and develope it to players such as easyhoon, Marin etc. I'm 100% sure that the new SKT1 midlane-sub will be the same story as easyhoon.
Activision has competitive CoD confirmed, dont know about the other mlg games because they dont have a relation to activision. But call of duty is really fun to watch now. nV with aches already dropping wraps in an official match, he is gonna put up a big show
you both must be on some strong meds to think that! where did tsm come in worlds? SKT we always be on top, SKT beat records held by samsung white and you know how? because it was basically the same team just different name!
i agree with everything you said but i dont get why they need a sub mid when they have Faker, he has changed his gameplay from when he only cared about himself and became a team player
first off, how do you know he wasnt talking about cs:go or smite? second off, tsm obviously isnt the best lol team but the most likeable. maybe people are tsm-fans and say that they're the best team? Plus TSM is the best team in terms of success, so yeah. they didnt win worlds but name me one non-chinese team with more fans?
So, the thing you need to look at is: Resource management Resources can be pressure, cs, jungle camps and vision. If you use wards to cover midlane, your botlane will be more vulnerable. Faker is a high-econ midlaner, just like basically every other player in his league, with some exceptions being froggen and easyhoon. If they have Faker as their starter, they play arround him, Bengi camps his lane and Wolf covers him with vision. But what if they face a team where a toplane-centric playstyle is the better playstyle? A demanding midlaner like Faker will take up resources, means Marin will have less resources. So how do they solve this? They sub in Easyhoon. Easyhoon is a low-economic midlaner, who plays a team-focused playstyle. He farms, rarely goes for risky 1v1s and is relevant in teamfights with low amounts of resources cause he plays champions such as Anivia, Azir, Viktor etc. Thats basically how it works.
I'm a hefty lol esport watcher, there are often times I want to make discussion threads for it even :lol: love tsm, fnatic are good to watch but I'm not like a fan of them or anything. Also really liked UoL in spring split but they kinda tilted hard in summer when teams figured out they were a mid to win team. Yuusei- lots of people speculate the reasons for and against faker/easyhoon for mid and the coaches have said consistently, whoever is playing better will get the majority of games and if they're not doing as well on stage say in a bo5 they'll swap them. Very little to do with playstyle but I will agree easyhoon is a safer more consistent mid laner even though hes left now. I play a bit of smite on the side and tried watching the esports but it's just not a very good esport to watch since most of the fun of the game is the 3rd person camera angle and when they watch it as an esport they don't show it 3rd person so everyone can see what's going on. I just don't find it interesting to watch. Cod esports is pretty fun to watch, im not even big on cod but the esports is actually pretty cool especially when they make big outplays and stuff. I also really don't like to watch csgo esports because it feels like a search and destroy cod but nobody tries to make big plays or whatever. Cod esports just is so good to watch because literally everyone is trying to make plays all game you've got the scorestreaks and such like. Csgo is just learn the recoil patterns and buy the best guns and your opponent wont have enough momey to keep up.
