Now I know why eSports prize pools go over millions of dollars!

[stomachgrowls]

I know Shaq owns a share of an esports team, not certain about others but theres a few big players in the industry for sports who are also willing to back the growth of esports audiences as well

First,Congrats to Liquid and they do really deserve it yet this team is excellent when it comes to neither majors and minors tourney and

This is pretty big news, Liquid just won a big prize pool run by Intel for about a decade now.   Thats some major sponsorship and over such a long time, such major backing is a large part why esports is possible :

Really incredibly big news for the esports market to have someone such as 'Magic' congratulate them to his 4.78m twitter followers!
Its just too bad that his twitter account doesnt have the ETHER logo such as this pic shows

Damn, Miracle- always getting on to the top he never fails to amaze me everytime he plays either majors or minors tournament. Probably their manager has the biggest smile always whenever his team compete and wins. They might get to the top if they have a secret plan to play and i've seen some quite changes on his playing style since they lost on TI8.

I am just glad to see that there are so many TI followers and Dota2 players here. Otherwise it is always LoL or Overwatch or some other western shit. I wonder if Starcraft could be brought into prominence again through steam..

I'm a big CSGO spectator, player and bettor but I was far more involved when csgolounge was still a thing and skins wasnt so controversial.  Unfortunately because of modern economics, just about everything easily tradable turns into a prototype currency and skins was being used as much.   Its been locked down alot, probably benefits crypto use but a bit sad for me as I found it useful for betting lots of games with skins I didnt even want, so free fun basically  

Overall I know CSGO population has grown alot and also as a spectator event its much bigger then five years ago.  Afaik thats true of many esports, I'am biased towards thinking CSGO has a natural peak/flow narrative to its game and a fairly basic concept of 'go blow up their stuff'    I can be lost on DOTA or other games if I fail to appreciate the advantage to each facet, they could be a bit more noob friendly.    
    Thats my argument for just about any part of fast growing industry, look after your new people if you want good growth

I just checked now and its not there and it was my screen cap.  I have an extension that tries to link through to blockchains to give detailed breakdown on addresses more easily, a good thing to have usually for info.   Nothing resembles ETH address on his page, weird.   Hopefully it wasnt a scam comment, sometimes on twitter they try to insist they are running a contest of some kind and block the OP to stop them seeing it on their comments.

[I double checked, ironically its just saying I have no info on this guy heh]

It is due to the popularity of the game world wide since Dota 1 was already famous before with their online server using Garena. Since valve made the Dota 2 the popularity of it to the older player who tend to play Dota 1 before was gaining too much attention to the society. Which it makes more famous because people around the world who loves that game was so eager to watch the live game just like an Olympic sports.

I will connect this topic to Ausubel's Meaningful Theory wherein we connect the knowledge to our previous prior knowledge. We tend to watch the livestream and bet because we have prior knowledge about DOTA. Since it was famous before, many players knew it already. That is why esports has high prize pools because many players know the game and how the games play. As a spectator who have knowledge in esports, I will always bet based upon my observation.

I have played some eSports games already and the players spend more than 8 hours playing just to be a pro player. Yes the money they got is way higher compare to a regular employee but the time they spend is longer. Overall, it is worth it because you can be popular around the world and at the same time get a huge salary.

I'm pretty sure it takes more than 8 hours to be a pro player man!
It's more like players are honing their skills from since they were kids in order to reach a pro level.

Yeah more than 8 hours to be a professional player.
More time they spend but as long as they are happy with what they are doing then its good . More time = pro player + more salary for them .

8 hours to become a pro player in what e-sport? if this would be Dota 2 that wouldn't suffice. Playing Dota 2 to hone your skills will take you a lot of time and playing 8 hours won't be enough. It will take your months to years of experience to become good with it depending on the role that you're mastering. There's specific role for each game where you can practice and improve it. I'm practicing to become support and increasing your MMR will notice you by some teams.

Are you sure we only need 8+ hours to become expert in esports ? I do not think any can become an expert in only 8-10 hours.
It may take many days, weeks or months when a player can become perfect.

I've said that in my post before yours that it's impossible to get into the pro-scene by just playing 8 hours in total of your lifetime career. Pro e-sports has been dedicating most of their time and 8 hours is their daily dose.
8 hours everyday just to practice and to become better so it's either they just mistold that it's 8 hours of daily dose or they really were saying that it's just about 8 hours to become pro.

[STT]

That would be one hell of a natural talent, some people do progress far fast then others but I think 6 months is the fast time scale and most would wonder if this person is cheating to rise up so fast.
    I think Stewie from CSGO is the player I saw grow fastest but there has been a few, some lose track at the top level and never truely make it.

Most people have to devote most of their life to get the results and then its only for a while that they can compete at the top.

They need more time to become a professional player, and I don't think they can reach it for 8 hours or day because they need to play the game all day, never stop. If many people know about that, I think they will change their jobs to become a pro player because the salary will bigger to them than if they work in the office

Mate, what kind of life is that for one to spend 8 hours of his or her time a day on game just to simply become a pro, is that the only game that we have in the whole world, I doubt if there will be any serious family person that will do that even if the goal is to make money, and the money we are even talking about is not something that is certain because anything gambling and betting is just a pure game of luck.

The only people you will mostly find doing this are people that does not have work to do or serving anyone, or students that are still in school, and even as a student, the only time he can spare is a time for holidays. I am going to take out time one day to really be sure that esport requires up to 8 hours playing it.

I guess you are not really into e-sports huh? to give you an idea and example you may want to watch and search about success stories of teams and players of Dota 2 and CS:GO. In reality, there really are professional e-sports players and I understand that there are people that are not aware of it and still can't believe that it's now a daily job and a career that can make a living out of it.

For people that doesn't watch too much news nor being updated on latest tech trends will missed out Esports popularity.

There are lots of true story of players on youtube which the thing you have said was right where even those people do make a living
with just playing some games on their entire life.

Yeah that's why I'm telling him to watch those success stories of those teams that came from nothing to glory. If that's not enough, the media is also aware on how much this industry has.

But sometimes, those gamers who put all their time playing just wants to kill time and enjoy wasting money without any goals at all.

No, they aren't killing time after choosing to get into the professional scene. Professional e-sports players are like athletes that dedicated most of their time and life to the chosen sport. Do you think those sports athletes are just killing time and enjoy wasting money without any goals?
You are looking to them as if e-sports pro scene is just all about killing time.

thats right . its not what you call wasting/killing time but that is already thier profession  . they dont also waste thier money but they earn money thru playing because pro players have a sponsors  . infact they even earn more salary than any other regular jobs out there , so dont under estimate pro gamers  . there are items that we can buy on games but i think the purpose on why they make those items is also for the profit and not to add on the prize pool  . prize pool is i think sponsored

[Johnzky]

It all depends on how popular the sport is among the viewers.  This is where all the advertisement and sponsorship money comes into play.  For example the WNBA actually loses money because very few people even watch it and the budget is subsidized by the NBA.

Exactly as WNBA seems to be boring though the players are effort full in providing actions to the viewers to enjoy yet wasn’t enough and still advertisers will decide on how they’ll put money to gain more publicity and that’s how the prizes growing and growing now in esports ..

I understand people that have no passion and don't understand the whole e-sports scene. They are merely thinking that it's about wasting time and money but they haven't scene that it's the same as the sponsorship that professional team has.
