i don't care if they get paid a lot of money, these guys are grade A betas. wtf is with their poses in all of these stupid ads and promos for the lcs? usually even big ripped athletes can't make that shit look good.
also, why the fuck is there even any interest in watching the LCS? what is the point in WATCHING OTHER PEOPLE PLAY VIDEO GAMES?
this world is getting increasingly more autistic as time progresses jesus christ.
SEKAI2 votesWhat's the point of watching other people do Anything?
I do agree those ads need to tune down tho, it's too awkward for my taste at least.
Scuttler Slayer2 votesCareful, the guy with a Jack Russell pun for a nickname is a badass.
Clearly, "Jack the Rustler" is an Alpha. So, let's all bow down and accept his criticisms for truth.

Scuttler Slayer1 votesYou do need drive and perseverance to train as much as they do, to be fair.
I can't be bothered to play video games that much, especially ONE video game.
To each their own, dude. I'd never watched LoL tournaments before the 2014 worlds, and to be honest I found it super entertaining. I'd rather watch the Champions League or the World Cup, but Worlds had its merits.
Are the ads great? No. Do the athletes themselves like the ads? Doubt it.
Also, I don't see how an "Alpha" could possibly play LoL. It's full of people who idolize anime and fap over pixels - THAT SHIT is "beta".

because sports are feats of physical skill.
give anyone enough time to learn and they can get gud at video games. sports are all about the upper echelon of the human race in terms of physicality and skill.
Bresn1 votesWhat's wrong with watching Pros at a video game vs highly skilled humans?
Nahui1 votesAnd video games are feats of intelligence, and to deny that would be hilarious in its own right. Throw Faker a football and he'd probably barely be able to catch it. Let Brady pick Master Yi in a bot game and he'd get his face rolled. Sports take a lot longer to get good at, yes, but it's the same logic. Given enough time, anyone can get "gud" at sports.
People watch eSports because they like seeing the plays that go on. Just like plays in sports rile people up, plays in League do the same. It's all on what interests one has. "Oh shit, Butler fucking just turned the game around with that sick-ass interception" and "Oh shit, Zed just shadow out-played their whole team" give the same thrill to different audiences. Just because you like Sports doesn't make you any better than someone likes video games. The whole "Beta and Alpha" is funny because you're not even in a big sporting event. At least those at the LCS are busy accomplishing things and becoming famous.
The world's changing bro. The deadliest people aren't the ones that can throw the hardest punch anymore.
xaadus creedus1 votesSome people like myself don't like watching mindless violence that is football and would rather watch others play Video Games not because it interests them but because the viewers themselves have a chance to become that. Not everyone can be ripped and deadlift 500 LB, But anyone can be the best at a Video Game. Welcome to a World full of people without courage to become something more than Video Game try hards. No disrespect to the video game fanatics, I am a video game fanatic myself and I typed this post from my point of view so take it with a grain of salt.
Scuttler Slayer1 votesTo be fair, just about anyone can be ripped and deadlift 500lbs.
No one's born with that capacity. You have to work at it. Only difference is some people have to work harder than others.
The one thing that cannot be acquired through hard work is fast-twitch muscles. Those are genetics. Most top athletes have these. They allow you to jump higher and generally have quicker reaction times.

not about anyone can be ripped and deadlift 500 pounds. more like 30% of the worlds population is able to reach this, while the rest of the world's population(video game playing little manlets) try to justify that looking at a screen with a dumb look on your face and clicking/mashing your keyboard takes skill.
Scuttler Slayer1 votesNo.
Short of a serious mental or physical ailment [missing limbs, cancer, etc.], anyone can be ripped; anyone can deadlift 500lbs.
Like I said, it just takes hard work - and harder work for some. (And access to food/ water)
