[QUOTE="LightBeam, post: 10119771, member: 466154"] As much as I love Overwatch, it's esport league has been a mess since the very beginning. It's really a feat how they managed to mess that up so badly. They wanted to be the « NFL of esport » and failed miserably. Lost many huge talents at one point when it comes to casting. Also, OWL always seemed more boring to watch than Apex (not the game Apex Legends, the Overwatch Apex, south korean tournament series), mostly imo because of the camera handling that would sometimes just show dumb and boring shit when a move was going on somewhere else (like, focusing on a Hanzo throwing his ult around instead of the Sombra using her EMP and fighting with the team) Maybe unrelated, but the Heroes of the Storm scene was also completely assassinated. It was working nice. Sure it wasn't as big as LoL or Dota2, but it had it's following. People knew it was done in a fucking blogpost lmao. Imagine knowing you're out of a job as an esport player, the same moment the spectators do. To me it just shows that the people who run this shit don't care at all. They don't know that this stuff is ran by passionate people and that's why it works in the long run. I'm pretty sure League did not become as big as it is right now in just a few days. You can even see it today with Valorant's scene not being as big as CSGO right now (tho it's still quite big, relatively speaking), it just takes so much time and the people at Blizzard thought it would be fine to just throw a bunch of dollars around and it'll get big. Money solves everything. It's just sad because honestly, Overwatch is probably at it's best state right now. The balance is really nice, we're so so far from the mess we used to have before. And each season gives it's set of features, PvE is coming this year too. New hero coming in a few weeks. 5v5 is so much more fun to play. PvE is probably going to gather people who don't care about PvP but this is not going to help for the esport scene. [/QUOTE]
