Sports are a massive phenomena, to say the least, and esports definitely seems to want to try to become similar, but so far…I think it may be fair to say it’s struggling at that, outside of maybe some specific games and countries (…Is StarCraft still a thing in South Korea?).
Do you think that might eventually change, and if so what might contribute to it being alongside regular sports in terms of conversations & attention?
Esports are huge in some countries, Korea and China being notable examples. Certain games are large in some other countries, some have large followings among certain demographics as well.
I think we’re a long way from NaVi having the same support as Man U or PSG or the LA Lakers or something like that but we’ll see. It’s not like those teams started out with global attention either
