Maybe I'm getting old but this NBA2K draft they just had is goofy as hell

[Frump]

These dudes getting drafted and moving to the city of the "team" that drafted them to play a video game

Adam Silver calling the picks and these dudes dressing up and being interviewed like they're real fukkin players

They gotta an actual front office with scouts and gm's to draft players to play a video game

Turtle from entourage calling in the pick like he's Jerry West

 

[Mad Good Dro]

You think its wierd now, but in 15-20 years nikkas gonna be signing Multi Million dollar deals off this esports shyt just like the 4 major sports. It has a big audience.

 

[Guile]

Yo, esports can be so cheesy at times.

Imma keep working on street fighter though for when they really start giving out real salaries

 

[Slaimon Khan Shah]

I think it's kind of cool!

Why? Do you dudes not understand how much money is in "e-sports" and gaming? This is a billion dollar industry.

Not only that but there is absolutely skill involved at the high levels of gameplay that can't be replicated by average players. You just think games are a lesser form of art or "competition" just like people probably thought about basketball when it first started.

"I must be getting old but it's crazy how these dudes are getting paid million dollar contracts to put a ball through the hoop."

See?

But scouts and gm's evaluating video game players isn't that a little much?

Every serious e sports league has some kind of Front Office. Players aren't usually good at administrative tasks

Youre not wrong but the fukk shyt about E-Sports is that the skill and difficulty level of E-sports is insultingly low compared to physical sports.

In Physical Sports, you are at odds with your own body, the physical layout of your arena, the literally billions of factors that make up your physical opponent, officiating, and not to mention having the physical and skill gifts to even be there among hundreds of other factors.

In E-Sports something like 90% of these factors dont change. Its just a matter of knowing how the AI and Physics Engines will behave and how to exploit those behaviors.

Not about the money it’s about it being televised lol that’s goofy about it especially considering how broken the game is

I guess lol but at least they getting that bag

 

[Rell Lauren]

The people getting drafted proved every negative stereotype about gamers. Dudes probably can't dribble or shoot.

 

[Roadie pipeher]
