CSGO is fun to watch. Brood Wars was awesome, too bad SCII sucked. And it'll always kill me that TF2 never took off as one and freaking Overwatch might, goddammit Valve.

PUBG will never be a proper esport. Organizing LANs with that many people is basically impossible, and few will be willing to put money on tournaments otherwise.

Guess we will see regarding PUBG. I think they are doing a tournament for it at Gamescon. But there is so much drama surrounding that game at the moment it makes it a bit hard to enjoy. Devs banning people left and right because streamers on Twitch scream "stream-snipe!".

Btw, why does SC2 suck?

Edit:

Quoted wrong dude.

SCII eliminated many of the most interesting unit interactions and instituted a ton of hard skill caps that flattened out skill gaps a ton.

Beyond that, SCII has a horrible problem with deathballs. You just build up your army until it's maxed and whoever makes the first mistake in the big 200/200 battle loses, no buts, ifs, whys, that's just how it is, and it's predictable. The game also puts a ton of emphasis on killing workers but doesn't actually make it difficult; whereas in BW worker harassing was unexpected, took a high level of multitasking, created battles all over the map, and (most importantly) didn't win you the game outright, in SCII it's super easy to do and you just outright lose the game if you lose a bunch of workers. Again, predictable and boring.

I like age of empires 2. Still being played, still has tournaments. Nicely paced, and doesn't have a lot of the problems you mentioned.

Blows my mind nobody has made a spiritual 2d sequel to that game. Given how popular it is. Take some innovations from modern rts games, upgrade the graphics and animations a bit and done. Seems like free money, call it 'empires of the ages' and watch microsoft sit on the sidelines and cry while you make hundreds of millions.

E-sports are what happened when casual niggerfaggots wormed their way into video games and used them to make themselves feel like they can accomplish something in life. Go play a fucking real sport.
