finally I can see video games hold on such grand event~
now I can brag to my parents
E-SPORT ALSO CONSIDERED AS SPORT!


yeah I know it only demonstration sport which mean maybe da medal not so as precious as other sport~ it still small step~ bu-bu-bu-but!
it's on Asian Games ya know!
good luck to my country representative team~
although idk which one~
lel
sorry Europe, America and other continent~ maybe you can wait till Olympic?
now I have another thing to anticipate for Asian Games

 

Yeah. It's officiated

 

LOL.... srly? LOL... wel its easier to understand than other mobas so i guess thats a start desu

#koreawillownstarcraftdesu~

 

Well, dota 2 already got The International event, so they dont need another event.
LoL on the other hand.

Agreed, korea own that category.

 

It's a first too around here. So that'll be fun.

Will be waiting for my dose of toxic Indonesians, Malaysians, Thailands and maybe some other toxic country I never know of. (I'm talking about the MOBA scene)
I'm just making fun of the community ofc. But it would be nice to get pros to be cultured so that these casuals can get better at not being toxic.

The other games... I'll have to see for myself how it looks.

 

Really wish I lived in asia so I could destroy some noobs in PES.

And yeah E-Sports is really taking off. NHL(National Hockey League), NBA(National Basketball Association) and MLS (Major League Soccer) started their own E-Sports leagues. The winner of the NHL tournament will go to Las Vegas for the NHL awards being hosted in July and $100,000 on top of that as the prize.

 

hmm? isn't LoL quite popular? idk much about LoL tournament tho~

 

Like LoL doesn't have its own international tournaments. The recent MSI tournament had 127 million viewers.

 

LoL has a younger..."cough" audience so it makes sense desu~

 

?????

 

Ah I heard Malaysia might not send representatives (esports)... too bad.

The event will be at Palembang, Jakarta I heard too. Around August. Must be a Indonesian heavy tournament.

 

When I see mobile game such as clash royale, I want to puke. And that football game....... meh
No total war?! No R6 Seige? No overwatch?!? No magic of the gathering?!?!

 

LoL LOL

 

popularity of different region perhaps~
who know what da committee think to pick which game to used on such event~

 

You should look at how the mobile game tournament looks like.

This is Asia. And surprise surprise. Games like OW, R6 and that stuff aren't that popular here. ( compared to other country)

I bet your puke will fill a stadium with that reaction of yours.

 

Yeah! I might puke at the stadium! R6 is not popular in Asia? You might want to correct that or maybe you are right since the game is a bit expensive to prevent toxic (which still exist) and little brats from buying it like csgo. Another reason, It is the host country preference that does not represent Asia and the competition must be not that big like the one in Korea or china

 

well if you are talking about the supporters then i agree,,,be it soccer, badminton, or any other sport events, most other countries supporters are tame when compared to indonesians,,,their yells fill the stadium

 

You coulda bragged 10 years ago, when Dota and Starcraft dudes were making thousands (I think).

 

Tame? You make it sound like Indonesians are Conan the barbarian screaming the top of his lung
