The burgeoning evolution of eSports: From the fringes to front and center [pdf]
- eganist 10y agoThey featured Smash on the cover page, and yet despite both Melee and Smash 4 having robust and entirely home-grown eSports scenes (sponsored and covered by both Red Bull and Twitch), there's not one mention of the word "Smash" anywhere in the doc. The only fighting game mentioned appears to be Mortal Kombat, and as far as I can tell, that scene is negligible compared to Street Fighter and especially Melee. (source: http://www.esportsearnings.com/games http://www.esportsearnings.com/games both tournament count and award size) I'm not even a participant in any eSports scene let alone Smash, but from the perspective of an outsider such as myself, this would seem to be a grave oversight by PWC.
