How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
What about Dota2 International?
Also prize money clearly relates to how much the sport/game makes in profot
not everyone can be an athlete
but anyone can be a gamer
Why the fuck would I care? I don't like real sports or """esports"""
It's obvious that the prize is equal to the skill. It's fine with me.
Utterly indifferent.
Entertainers that people actually care about will always attract the bigger dollar signs. It's why actors and professional athletes will always make more money than brain surgeons can ever dream of having.
Esports are just the next big thing. Nothing special.
Now show how much pussy winning each of those events will get you.
what's so entertaining about a dude clicking?
Video games are an extremely popular, consumer-driven industry, so utterly unsurprised. Why would they not have more money to throw around?
$3,000,000 will get you a shit load of pussy even if you look like a Down's syndrome Danny DeVito.
I see nothing wrong
Point taken. I withdraw my post.
dude he can click really fast
>A bunch of autistic people viciously competing for glory and fortune
Sinds like a sport to me.
A few years from now nobody will remember Fortnite
Money well spent
All of them combined is less than what a girl gamer makes a year.
Now post the TI9 prize pool
Sure. Yet right now people care enough about it to throw millions of dollars at it.
So.. who cares?
>A few years from now nobody will remember Fortnite
>Money well spent
I give it 10 years at most
and dota wins more like that, your point?
>prize money
lol who cares, athletes make money through sponsors
the esports bubble will soon burst.
Athletes of spectator sports get paid the most.
It's simply how the world works. Boxing and MMA are likely the most spectatable sports and athletes can make in excess of $100Mil in one fight.
Fortnite is just inherently more spectatable than a marathon which is essentially just a long jog - hence thew "athletes"(?) get paid more.
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE AT THE TOP NOW BOYS
What's so entertaining about 22 men running after a ball?
soccer is shit too
Like we overpay "sports players" and don't pay enough to people who actually do things that help humanity.
I hate E-sports
there's way less fortnite tournament than any of those sport's ones. a tennis player can participate and win 10 of those a year
the top ten soccer team players get that every months
look i think fortnite is a fucking baby game but it takes more skill than a fucking marathon
>duh i walked good a lot of days in a row me legs strong and me run fast
theres no fucking "skill" in running of course the payout is fucking low
Athletes don't fucking get rich from prize pools, are you fucking stupid
dota 2 international is way higher. It's currently the highest out of any other game right now and still climbing.
Not even close to true.
In the long run competing in any of those tournaments competitively seems a lot more profitable than Fortnite.
>win a fortnite tourney
>oh cool have money
>a year or two later the hype dies down and the prize pools plummet
>win wimbledon
>sponsorships galore, plus you can keep competing next year knowing that prize pools will be consistent
It's at 26 million and rising, too bad the general public doesn't care since it's not a casual-friendly game like LoL and Fortnite
>a year or two later the hype dies down and the prize pool plummets
*dotas your argument*
>bunch of literally who gives a fuck sports
Try posting relevant sports you fag.
>dota 2: 50 trillion dollars
Dota literally has a prize pool higher the the GDP of most EU countries.
The majority of the money athletes make isn't from prize money. Those numbers are uncomparable.
(you) earned it
duh me big leg go mega fast money please :)
athletes get better sponsorships, the prize money is pocket oney in comparison
Marathoners notoriously have a scrawny build
>Giving a shit
lmao
Isn't it the same for esport players anyway
"men running after a ball" describes almost every sport
the "fortnite world cup" is just a massive advertisement
do you have a point, besides not liking sports that involves a ball?
>be football player
>is 120 million worth
Yeah sure.
Less so but kinda
It's the twitch streamer big lads that rake up sponsor and donation dosh. Big time esports athletes don't get paid THAT much, usually just expenses and some spending money. Unless they do consistently really well, they MIGHT live off it, while regular athletes can do so much easier.
feels liek living in an society
This. And multiplied by ten if she sells her pee.
anyone can say they run, drive a car, or ride a bike
how many people would willingly admit they play fortnite
the money is to offset the shame
>too bad the general public doesn't care
Thank fucking god the general public doesn't care. Reddit autists are trying their best to ruin the Dota pro scene alone, get normalfags involved and it's over.
This is inaccurate. You may only get $580,000 from winning the tour de france, but then you get millions and millions from your sponsors/advertisers/interview spots, plus a massive pay increase/teams wanting to contract with you.
I dont know about Fortnight because i never played it but dont you need to share your winnings with your 5 teammates in Dota?
Movie actors make millions while having awful physical shape?
I dont see why I would care how much entertainers make, some have better agents than others and some attract better sponsors
Obviously a fat american like you cant be a athlete, you'd fucking die of a heart attack 2 minutes in.
Or her "bath water".
No, I can't be an athlete because a surgeon fucked-up while removing a cyst from around my tailbone and now I'm in constant agonizing pain. The good news is that I only lost control of my bowels and my ability to walk 3 times this week! That's down from 5 times at this time from last week!
Makes me feel I should start training for a marathon
git gud faggot
I'm sorry user
Fornite is more of a sport than the indy 500.
Fortnite has no history, and no grass roots competitive community hosting tournaments. How do you streamline and accelerate the creation of the tourney world? Throw money at it, of course.
>e"""sports"""
what went wrong?
I'm so mad right now. I literally can't go on. Someone hold me. Fuck.
Nothing.
I remember when Counter-Strike became popular and standards couldn't get any lower. Nowadays kids play Fortnite lol
It's a sign that Fortnite brings in a lot of money. Footballers can be paid outrageous amounts and lots of people watch that. Not talking about american handegg either.
they're all competitions i'll never take part in so why would i give a fuck
How the fuck is racing cars considered a sport? Running or biking or swimming is absolutely a sport.
wtf i love sports now
I'm envious of people that make more money than me too
>has a prize pool higher the the GDP of most EU countries.
american instruction guys, were you in a shooting and they accidentally lobotomised you?
Good for you sweetie
Like our society has truly reached peak decadence
I can't wait to see how it all comes crashing down
But people making 6 figures to drive in a circle was fine?
Congrats. The average basketball player makes this in a quarter of a season, guaranteed.
>Only making 6 figures for driving in a circle
The roman had to be fit to do what he did. That's a sport.
>Fortnite event has a $3m prize pool
>meanwhile, the most a Smash tourney has ever been able to come up with is $20k
Fortnite chads win again
i'd argue that all of those competition things are being overpaid and shit like footballers earning gorillions of dollars makes no sense, but if there's money for that, i guess it doesn't come from nowhere. who am i to tell other people what to support and what to pay for?
That grown adults shouldn't be payed this much for participating in children's play time activities
but dota is already ruined user
That's not how value is determined.
Dota 2 is split between like 5-6 people.
>running
>cycling
>tennis
>nascar
Who gives a shit about all that honestly. Random ass bench players in the NBA make more than all those in a year.
This. Same reason why women athletes are making less money than men while performing on the same sport. It isn't because of "le patriarchy" or something like that: it's all about how many people are watching your shit.
dog bless Chinese sweatshop money
mmm, sports
Wheres this dota international? Winning team gets $13M+ this year, and its rising
imagine being as dumb as this lol
most of the "top" esport players are college drop outs with many mental and physical issues. If sane people started to play they'd be out of business in a year.
people dont watch/give a shit about those top four
now post NFL/NBA/Soccer(for EU at least) numbers
time to learn how to floss
What? Dota started as reddit garbage
Dota pre-dates reddit
Dota is the best esport by a long shot. The only thing that comes close is CS and fighting games but there's no contest if you know the game
that sports organizations are corrupt as fuck
it feels good because this validates my decision to be a gamer
>WTF you get paid to play football? My son plays it all the time it's just a game.
You guys are retarded as long as there are people willing to pay there will be sports and esports
????
No one owns running. No one owns biking. No one owns racing. Someone owns Fortnite and has a reason to inflate the pot.
Well hopefully next week it's only once.
did you sue him atleast?
