Why? Is it because they, unlike /v/irgins, are undebatably good at video games, are millionaires, and aren't losers?

... because it ruined competitive gaming forever.
There was once a time where small companies. Even local ISPs would host competitive gaming events. People could enjoy gaining fame. Small cash prizes. Or hardware and software for prizes. People from the area could attend, compete, and actually have a chance to have fun and win.
Then Giant Sponsors came with their giant advertised events and ruined everything forever.

>>719050419 (OP)
esports are gay and lame.

>>719050419 (OP)
Esports is taking something that's supposed to be fun and turning it into serious business with millions of dollars at stake, gay leagues and sponsorships. Even if you want to completely ignore that aspect alot of competitive games still suffer from it, be it through game design because devs pander to esports fags or simply playing because now there are thousands of faggots turning every match into a sweat fest.

>>719050479
It looks like the opposite, retard.

OP is a complete retard, as always.
/v/ just likes retro shitbox games (that's why they're "hardcore"). They'll shit on Dunkey but essentially have the same nostalgia boner over antiquated vidya.

No one ever said they're sweats. Fucking dumbass op. lmao

>Why?
Because none of the faggots here are good enough to get paid to play. Faggots will cope and say "I could've should've would've" like boomers who claim they could've went pro in some sport but the truth is if they were actually good enough they would. They aren't, so they cope. Same reason why they hate Youtubers and Streamers...although that hate is slightly more warranted, only because streamer/youtuber culture have done more harm to gaming than good, the same can't be said for esports.

>>719050419 (OP)
There are far too many "e-sports pros" who get outed as cheaters for me to ever take them seriously, not to mention the outrageous amounts of trannies and furfags. I'm half convinced officially sponsored esports tourneys are some kind of weird money laundering scheme.

>>719053203
>none of the faggots here are good enough to get paid to play
No shit dude, did you come to this conclusion on your own? Barely anyone is, you need to be a top 0.1% player with natural abilities, there are faggots who grind a game for years and never get anywhere. This is the video game board not the Apex Legends discord, most people who come here play a wide variety of games and genres and are broadly speaking interested in the topic of video games and e-sports has for the most part negatively impacted games so it's only natural that there is a negative sentiment.

>>719054618
>most people who come here play a wide variety of games and genres
Wait to out yourself as a newfag. Retard thinks the morons here play a "wide variety of games" lol yeah okay idiot

>>719053272
I eat .22s for breakfast.

>>719054990
If you actually browsed the threads here you would know that /v/ has a pretty good frame of reference when it comes to video games. It's the only place that constantly shits on remakes and regularly talks about old or obscure games.

>>719053272
Is it a dick move to end on a draw 4 wild card? Nobody likes to play uno with me because I always end on one of those and I tell them that I'm gonna end on one but there's no rule saying you can't or that you have to play a card, and in a game thats all dick moves I think its not that bad.

>>719055549
It's just a smart move, saving a card you can always play for last just makes sense, if they always know that's what you'll do it's their own fault for not playing around it and keeping you at at least 2 cards.

Err CSisters? Why is your best player trans?

>>719055448
What board have you been browsing? The vast majority of /v/ is nothing but Twitter threads, industry drama and politics to the point that when there's an on-topic thread about any game it's going to attract people yelling shill or go to /vg/.

>>719055448
see >>719056519
Like I said, way to out yourself as a newfag. The vast majority on this board don't play a wide range of shit. A good chunk of the faggots posting are constantly whining how they don't have nothing to play or how they can't finish games or just spend all day shitposting and jerking off. The fact that you think otherwise tells how much of a newfag you are. Anything that isn't rollslop, mandchildslop from Nintendo, or jrpg pedo anime gacha shit gets shit on here. This place is the absolute opposite of "wide variety".

>>719050419 (OP)
/v/ likes hard games. Autistic freaks who turn multiplayer games into stompfests if you aren't willing to treat the game as a job can fuck right off

The problem with esports besides the general massive corporate cringe, is games being targeted towards some nebulous boardroom idea of viewer appeal rather than being a fun, challenging, or even competitively valid game to play. NASCARification, if you will.

>>719050419 (OP)
It's simple anon, anyone worse than me is a fucking casual and anyone better than me is a nolife tryhard.

>>719055549
No, it's a very smart thing to do.
>Wild Draw Four – This acts just like the wild card except that the next player also has to draw four cards as well as forfeit his/her turn. With this card, you must have no other alternative cards to play that matches the color of the card previously played. If you play this card illegally, you may be challenged by the other player to show your hand to him/her. If guilty, you need to draw 4 cards. If not, the challenger needs to draw 6 cards instead. If turned up at the beginning of play, return this card to the Draw pile, shuffle, and turn up a new one.

>/v/ claims to be "hardcore" and hate "casuals"
/v/ has not claimed this in an incredibly long time. nu/v/irgins are proud of being casuals, want games to be dumbed down for them, seethe when other players are better, and bitch endlessly about any game that expects an ounce of practice or that is more skill-based than Mario Party.

>>719056006
because computer games make you gay

A problem with the so called "esports" is that they ironically stand for more casualized games.
More often than not corporations hijack grassroots scenes for better games and then use said scene to market dumbed down sequels made for the masses. Only very few can resist the temptation of money and play older stuff they think is better.
The old playerbase then only gets the option to participate in that and to shill it or to get replaced by a new batch of faggots.
Thats the sinister part of corporate "esports" too. It technically doesnt matter who is the best in the world. The best players could quit in disgust after a beloved series is raped and there will be others waiting in line to take their spot. Doesnt matter if they are worse.

Fighting games are a prime example of that, but I see this kind of farce play out with fps too.
Now you got retards unironically competing in aim assist shooters.

>goysports
dens for faggot normies that suck dick for a living, only fighting games are interesting to watch

>>719050419 (OP)
online games are for normalfags

I don't hate hardcore or casual, I just don't like the two mixing together.
Keep them on separate servers with their own rulesets and "meta" of playing and it's all good. I don't want my dumb casual matches to have sweats and I don't want my hardcore matches to have retards.

>>719050419 (OP)

>>719061319
What about +4/+2 card stacking?

>>719053203
Anyone who watches "esports" is a faggot. Imagine something even below and I mean far below watching twitch streamers.

>>719061402
allowed, but you can only stack a +2 on a +4 if it matches the chosen color

no "challenge" bs, revealing your cards is lame

>>719060078
Playing melee at your local comic book shop where a single pack of magic cards is at stake doesn't fucking count. You might as well be at your friend's house fighting over his mother's panties.

>>719061475
It's not so bad, I only watch the esports to support my twitch oshi when they participate
It's not like I follow the whole league like a no-life faggot

Well for one, /v/ isn't hardcore, the massive amounts of ass pained complaining about shit like Doom Eternal pretty much proved that.
Two, esports were the end goal of local/niche competitive scenes in whatever game you could think of. My dad used to tell me he'd go to Tribes 1 LANs playing against teams that used to take that game seriously. However, what was good and fun for a social competitive environment in the game you loved soon got tainted with overarching greed. The inherent spotlight put on players that would rape you in game turned an entire generation of gamers into a bunch of drooling retards that thought there was enough space for them to make it into the literal .01% of all players. It ruined casual gaming, and 'competitive ranked' was filled with people that had massive egos and zero credentials. The esports scenes in question turning to whatever fragile sponsorships they could get. The whole entire sphere of streaming that launched from good players with no personality destroying lobbies so all the kids that worshipped them tried to copy the exact same shit and wasted their lives. It not only ruined the player ecosystem, but it also ruined a lot of future game design. The rape of RTS has still yet to be undone.

Like the idea of it all is simple and cool on the surface. What if people watched high level video game content? And we could get paid for it? Any kid would think that's sick. Except the larger you get the more the soul gets sucked out of your scene. Ah yes, thank you Geico for this ASSFAGGOTS replay. Oh no did that player say a swear??? ADVERTISER-SAMA GET DOWN!!!

esports was forced for years and hurt the development and lifecycle of a lot of games, to no end in many cases because esports players will continue playing lol, csgo, etc. Not every multiplayer game needed balanced high end competitive gameplay to be popular, but devs were incentivized and pressured heavily by the money and popularity esports could bring.

Because esports is the epitome of casual. Due to matchmaking systems people don't engage with the game's community, so they just gravitate to parasocial relationships outside of it. They also don't consciously engage with the game's mechanics, they just copy whatever their parasocial "friends" are doing.
It swiftly turns a game into a bunch of retards who only play the game due to rituals, sunk cost fallacies and streamer bait.
It's like someone arranging random pick-up football games every day for a hit of crack and a justification for sending a random player 10$ in the mail every month..

>>719050419 (OP)
because esports are casuals. look at something like dota 2 or leage of legends, some of the largest esports in the world. Actually watch the highest level competitive games say, 4 years into their life cycle and compare it to the average high rank pub game 12 years in. These people who supposedly dedicated their lives to mastering the game at the highest level from years 1-4 sure seem to be mechanically dogshit compared to people who picked up the game and played casually during year 8-12.

Dota 2 is probably the only esport that might be worth watching and only because its a multiplayer game with some actual complexity, if you wanted to watch a simple game you should probably just watch actual sports.
