Tried to watch, but didn't hold my interest at all. Not a big sports watcher IRL either tho, since I only watch hockey, rugby and cycling, so that might be a reason also. |

Quite frequently yes. Good e-sport games and great casters make following it very easy even if you haven't played the game yourself. I watch League of Legends, Starcraft 2, FPS tournaments every now and again and most recently Street Fighter. We gather in mumble to watch streams together with friends.

I'd rather watch golf than 'e-sports'. To me the whole concept is a joke. |

"it bores the hell out of me... I like playing games not watching them.." Agreed. My enjoyment in games is all about play. There just seems to be a lot better things to do in life that watch others playing a game. |

I never really cared for E-Sports. I wouldn't mind watching them though if it was something I was genuinely interested in. I like to watch my friends play videogames sometimes. I'm just not really that competitive myself. Vault-Tec analysts have concluded that the odds of worldwide nuclear armaggeddon this decade are 17,143,762... to 1. |

Originally posted by Quirhid Golf is boring to watch, fun to play (in a video game or RL) Baseball is boring to watch, boring to play (video game or otherwise) American Footbal is fun to watch, and too dangerous to play outside of a videogame. ~Won't get into boxing or UFC, but I will say that shit's fun as hell to watch.
This only speaks for myself, though... but I like to think that the more painful it is to put to practice, the more fun it is to sit back and watch others hurt themselves with. Writer / Musician / Game Designer Now Playing: Skyrim, Wurm Online, Tropico 4 |

I love watching any competitive sport .. i dont see much difference between on field sports and electronic sports ... both require elite skill levels, practise and hard work ... being a big sport fan and a long time gamer i took to e sports like fish to water ... Cant wait to see where E sports leads to in the future ... My favs are Dota/Lol/ and everyones fav as well SC :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtNNiZe6rXk |

Originally posted by GTwander I rate games in much the same way. Soccer is boring to watch, fun to play. Hockey is fun to watch, and fun to play. But to each their own: Soccer is a lot more popular than hockey is.
I don't play Starcraft 2 because it would take me a year to hone my execution to an acceptable level, but I like to watch it nevertheless. Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference. -Author unknown, attributed to Mark Twain |

As someone said, I'd rather play games than watch them. I love to play chess but I'm completely incapable of watching others play it for longer than two seconds. |

I like watching fighting game tournaments. Some of those are pretty amazing. I also like to watch pinball tournaments. And I enjoy watching speed run videos of people beating games at crazy fast speeds and perfect timing. But mobas and mmos? Id rather watch paint dry. Themepark is not a sub genre, its an excuse. |

I am not a sports fan. I think they are pretty much overpaid neanderthals. As far as E-sports go I would rather watch paint dry.

Originally posted by Foomerang I imagined watching whole tournament or even just 10 highest ranked fights. I would die of boredom. Don't really get all this excitement. Not interesting for me.
To each their own though. |

StarCraft 2 can have some epic games - I like watching the top players, they get big money for winning. |
