Esports broadcasters in shambles after learning about Track false start rules

this is hilarious on so many levels accentuated by the accents. :D

Cool. Now let all the fantasy MMRPG blokes weigh in on the rules of fencing.

Thanks for the morning chuckles. What is the guy about 15 seconds into the video doing under the table?

"We're too soft in esports."

This video has 100ish views. Essentially that’s all the top thread on LetsRun gets in views? I had the impression there were thousands clicking these threads each day.

They don’t even get into the fact that if you get too close to being on time, you still get disqualified

Just a quick handy to relax the nerves

Just wait until they find out about the Devon Allen DQ....

i am still waiting for the race where everyone is disqualified.

one indoor 400, they almost did it, with 2 runners remaining.

stepping the line, you needed a microscope, was the main infraction.

you could move the person with an infraction back a place, but NO, you have to ruin it completely.

no sport kicks you out for stepping on a line, and these judges were looking hard for a reason to toss people, you are talking the width of a finger.

About 500 views now... I found it at like 15, so ~475 views from letsrun people

I think it actually was every runner

Where are e-sports "broadcast?" Besides someone's Discord or Youtube channel

This was taken from an official Counter Strike 2, tournament, named Intel Extreme Masters: Katowice.

With a top prize of $400,000, and five players to split between, each player on the winning team will make ~80k, their organizations will also probably add on some extra money from contract incentives.

The livestream this morning had 25,000 viewers on Youtube, 35,000 viewers on Twitch. 3,000 on Kick, and another ~75,000 viewers in various watch party streams.

That is around 120,000-140,000 people watching at any given time, and this was before the playoffs even started. On the day of the final, there will easily be ~250,000 thousand people watching online, and over 5000 watching in-person.

Like it or not, E-Sports is quickly becoming a pretty big deal.
