Nintendo should just bring back their world championships from the 80s/90s.  It was cool to see it happen a few years back when they showcased Super Mario Maker in the tournament.  I don't think they held anymore after that E3 which is a shame because I thought it went well.  This coming from someone that doesn't give a damn about esports and gets bored very quickly watching others play video games.

It makes sense you enjoyed the World Championships then, because that is really nothing like eSports at all, if anything they're just glorified advertisement. I mean, don't get me wrong, I did enjoy watching that as well as it was a lot of fun, but it's nothing like EVO or any other kind of serious competition.

 

Yea, count me out of those "serious" competitions. The only game show I went to a few years back had a LoL tournament going which at time I wasn't even sure what game it was. The whole scene was nearly embarrassing to me and it almost made me feel out of place. The crowd cheering to some shitty Starcraft mod just blew my mind. To each their own but that scene is not for me.
