Unfortunately it's boring as hell to watch over the long term. In a game like CS there is little setup and watching someone getting instagibbed in short engagements is no fun. But maybe the players around it can initiate some drama that keeps people talking, similar to wrestling, but then it's no longer about the game and more about the drama.
- symlinkk 4y agoIt’s similar with F1, it’s extremely boring to watch long term, most of the time it just looks like the cars are following each other, and it’s even worse live where you can only see a sliver of the multi mile long track. Yet it’s still a global phenomenon somehow.
- Apocryphon 4y agoWatching the Netflix series (Formula 1: Drive to Survive), the drama between the racers and the corporate teams that sponsor them do add that personal connection, that keeps all sports going. I am amused to learn from it that Red Bull is somehow allowed to sponsor multiple racing teams (Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri).
- anomaly_ 4y agoMinor correction, not sponsor, own. Interestingly the tobacco company British American owned a team until 2005 (the team is now the Mercedes team).
