What they doing to it,Stu

 

[HHR]

It has that big of a following??


Actually that kind of makes sense. It's such a specfic niche

I guess professional gaming is like a BILLION dollar industry and shyt.

Shoulda told my parents that when I tanked my freshman year in college by playing TFC until 2AM every morning

 

[ReggieFlare]

It's a MOBA...if you've heard of League of Legends it's a similar game

These games have a MASSIVE amount of followers. They are on an international level too

Nope.



These games are huge in South Korea, China and Russia, markets that just don't care about the NBA (China loves the NBA, just not console games) or NFL.

That shyt is really popular, these nerds are probably getting more views than the mavs/rockets game

And more p*ssy than us too.

 

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

No better/worse than them airing billiards, bowling and arm wrestling imo

I wouldn't go that far, but they are pretty big over there, easy million or two a year for the best players

Nah I can't cosign that. Those other sports actually require movement. I'm not gaming hater tho I'm just shocked it's on ESPN
