Not video gaming, but I have watched pro Chess and Go before. If there are any pro video gaming that is almost entirely strategic, I wouldn't mind checking that out.

That's speed running right?

Yup. I also like watching fighting games.

I don't find them entertaining, so I don't watch them. I would also rather play a game than watch someone else play it.

Well i used to watch pro gaming long time ago, last time was Team Fortress 1.5, Counter Strike 1.3, Quake 3 Arena & Quake 4.

I like to catch the GDQs when they're on and fighting games like Smash and Street Fighter are also pretty interesting. Saw a bit of Persona 4 Arena too back in it's heyday.

I mostly watch Smash (Melee and 4), if the tournament includes other fighters I'll check them out as well. I also adore speedrunning and charity events.

And I watch Pokemon singleplayer matches, but those arent neither professional or even considered "official" for the competitive Pokemon scene. Which is lame imo, because I think singles are much more entertaining than doubles.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I follow the League of Legends Spring/Summer Splits and the World Tournaments but that's about it. I don't care much for streaming beyond that.

I used to watch a tonne of Halo back in the day. Halo 2, 3 and yes... Even Reach before I stopped. I barely have time to play games nowadays, let alone watch other people do it!
