eSports. There was a large CS:GO/LoL/SC2 tournament last weekend, where CS:GO gathered over 1 million concurrent viewers during finals (last tournament had 460K!). While LoL has been a big player for a while, and probably continues to be in Asia, CS:GO is growing rapidly in the west.
- eswat 12y agoIt’s worth noting that Counter-Strike has been around far longer than most games in eSports. But a few tweaks made in Global Offensive, such as more reliance on managing money/economy, made it as compelling to watch as games like LoL or SC2 because it’s more than just watching dudes shooting at each other. Now it’s getting more playtime in tournaments than ever.
