Baseball is more a skill sport than an athletic sport.
Esports aren't really sports they are organized gaming competions but are marketed as sports because it fills a similar niche for zoomers that actual sports filled for boomers.
You wouldn't call chess or poker sports. Those are games and people playing them professionally are perfectly aware of it. Zoomers are so insecure they have to pretend video games are sport or art when they have no athletic requirements and the artistic value of children's cartoons. No, they're just games.
Where do you go all when there Ganker has nothing going on? I'm at the point where I'm just here because I don't know here else to go to kill time and I admit I have an addiction to scrolling through here on my phone when I know damn well not shit fun happens here for, at least, months at time.
> I have an addiction to scrolling through here on my phone
uninstall kuroba, it help me to get over it. I watch jp arcade fighting game archives on mnost days. Watch smash bros rn
I'm on Ganker when I don't feel like playing or watching anything, which is a more and more frequent occurrence when getting older
I'd go out walking or hiking but I moved to shithole bumfrick nowhere to room with friends and I'm kinda regretting it now since there's frickall to do out here
>I'm on Ganker when I don't feel like playing or watching anything, which is a more and more frequent occurrence when getting older
This is exactly my problem.
branch out to other boards
you'd be surprised how many are uninfected with this kind of low quality garbage and have posters that actually enjoy and discuss the board topic
I second this one. Ganker for example has been slowly becoming my go to board and Ganker is becoming more of an "oh yeah, let's check in and see how they're doing I guess" kind of thing. Admittedly, what's happening to me with Ganker is the same thing that happens with me and /misc/. It's not very much fun anymore and nobody is all that creative with memes, OC or anything. But the big one is that it's just not as much fun here.
back to Ganker or maybe /vg/ to check out tekken, apex, and other shit when i want to actually talk about shit
Been told forever that /vg/ is where the "real schizos" go so avoided it. May have to go and check it out anyway.
The bad part is that the "hit or miss" is still a higher chance than here of actually enjoying talking about video games. Thanks for the warning though.
If your skills and achievements disappear with a server somewhere losing power. It's not a skill or an achievement. esports gays will be the first to die in the collapse.
While I hate esports as much as the next guy, I would say losing a server would be equal to having your soccer ball lose air and the field getting a sink hole.
Some forms of skill are mostly apparent with a specific tool and without it cant be applied
I don't think about esports at all outside of threads like this. To me (40yo) saying you hate esports looks like trying to fit in.
Boomers grew up playing baseball and football and watch pros on TV compete at the highest levels. Zoomers are growing up playing videogames and so watch pros competing at the highest level. It's not hard to understand.
No such thing as esports. People perfomring in non-physical competitions are not athletes.
I genuinely hate esports more than any other cancerous sub-culture to spawn from gaming.
>earning more than you
lol?
probably slightly more for 5 years or so and then they're too old
I earn 7 figures.

By that logic videogames are also a skill sport 🙂
Videogames are a skill game, not a sport. Baseball still has some athletic requirements even if certain positions are mostly skill(eg pitcher).
Why is it called e-SPORT then.. huh? btfo moron

Those are iq-sports.
It's called e-SPORTS for a reason. It's a sport, get over it.
Why do people use the word athlete?
Why not esports player?
Why even use the word sports?
Marketing
This dude looks straight out of an UNICEF ad
How do you even get to that point?
Every time this gets posted his arms get thinner.

Actually sounds cool. Do you watch these in Twitch or YouTube?

Ganker is literally the designed /b/ blue board.
that used to be /qa/. are we next on the chopping block?

its hit or miss on schizos. some generals are just porn and ERP, some are people just shitposting about the game and playing together, etc
The bad part is that the "hit or miss" is still a higher chance than here of actually enjoying talking about video games. Thanks for the warning though.
>Want to make a WiiS (Wii and DS general)
>Don't have the time setup servers
>Don't have time to maintain and nurse thread until it catches on
If I had the time to make it happen, I'd start the general off right. Until then I'll just lurk around for a while off and on.
sometimes those kind topics will be folded into one topic like emulation or the homebrew general if thats what your looking for
back to Ganker or maybe /vg/ to check out tekken, apex, and other shit when i want to actually talk about shit
>scrolling through here on my phone
jesus christ
>Esports athlete
>zelenskyy after losing
Wtf?
Not even football players wear such a moronic amount of ads, and those are complete sellouts
Is the esports meme even real?
Have some respect, you're talking about the world's best.
I'm better.
World's best fatass, I could kick his ass, I'm not afraid of him.
>World's best fatass, I could kick his ass, I'm not afraid of him.
You sound like a zoomer that watches people play competitive shooters rather then being in the top ranks.
