That's awesome man

It depends on the game. Most of the franchise didn't have esports in mind at the start, like quake cs scbw dota. But a lot of the biggest / best esports games had it from the start, like sc2 csgo lol

Things have changed since Stacraft 2, esports grew big (outside of korea ofc) and now it's clearly something you have to take into consideration as it's part of many games (multiplayer oriented, and competitive). Also, mass internet did change a lot of stuff in this industry in general.

@@ianescher1798 their were literaly no big esports back when Starcraft 2 was out. In fact, it's SC2 that made eSports such a big thing (outside of korea). It's pretty obvious why devs now take that into consideration. Before SC2, esports was on a very small scale (well, again, outside of korea ofc). SC2 was developped with Esports in mind. Not the same way we do it now, but they took it into consideration just because...they knew how big Brood War was in korea. And they remember about their own history, on how wrong it went with Kespa. They wanted to avoid that situation again (probably because they wanted to benefit from esports and be part of it). So....saying SC2 wasn't developed with esports in mind is not true.

@@Frodonsake24 sorry if I wasn't very clear in my comment. I'm indeed saying that games like sc2 csgo or lol had esports in mind from the start haha I totally agree with your comment

Esports are the most overrated thing in modern gaming

To the new player, having access to all T1/T2/T3 units at the start is overwhelming

T3 isnt in the game. I think thats whats the point is - to not start esports until the content of the game is done. Afaik tier 3 units are not in EA release

It's already confirmed that some T3 units will be in the game at EA launch.

Thanks for watching!

What you think an alpha is, is what a beta actually is. A beta is not feature complete like the fake preorder betas for things like CoD. Also early access doesn't mean it stops being a beta.

The first wave of missions is literally coming out before their regional leagues in 2025.

Personally, graphics don't matter to me, it's core gameplay that makes it interesting.

​@@eggnog52sure buddy. Tf2 one of the most fun games in the market is garbage to spectate a player play

@@lordlopikong6940 I don't think TF2 is fun at all.

@@eggnog52same it’s a cheaters ces pool so.

@@eggnog52 im watching broodwar all the time. I grew up with that. Im not top much focused on optics myself, but that canvas annoys the hell out of me. I can Imagine this can be improved easily

@@allanshpeley4284 reddit tier bait post.

This is clearly not their main focus and nothing comparable to Overwatch. We don't even know how much money they do invest on esports. To me it sounds like they're looking at parteners without having to spend all the cash themselves. Its part of the marketting of the game, and their goal always has been to create a long term, game as a service, product. It's not a coincidence if they did talk about that in korea, where the esports market is way more developed and you can find partners and sponsorship. I mean, so far,, from what we have seen, they clearly have a pretty well thought, long terme plan, without taking too much risk (other than, trying to make a big RTS is kinda of risk in it of itself).

They want an equal focus on campaign/story, coop, versus/comp, and custom games.

Nobody is forcing anything as far as we know. All they've revealed are vague announcements on championship and regionals. This can take many forms, and probably it is going to involve the community to a high degree, since that was their stance since the very beginning.

Agree, Dota 2, LOL, CoD, CS GO were all massive flops.

@@markoliimatainen2565 🤣

​​@@markoliimatainen2565these games were never firstly intended for competition. Dota-mod from warcraft Lol-easier Dota for players who can't handle Dota, in a way a copy cat Cod- revolutionized the fps genre with amazing campaigns and fun casual multiplayer Counter strike- everyone played with bots at the start, it was a childhood game for fun and casual lobbies All these games were made during the times when esport was barely even a thing and the only esport that made money was starcraft. The esport followed the games not the other way around. How young are you?

@@markoliimatainen2565 Dota2, LOL, CS, COD all build on years of competitive scene. You can't give a worse example than these titles.

The RTS space needs fresh new blood on the table. An industry ran by a bunch of old, tired but experienced devs alone won't cut it. Frost Giant is made up of ex-Blizzard employees.

I mean, we literally have proof that majority games that aimed for e-sports failed.

@@allanshpeley4284 well said. watching a game of battle aces is far more exciting. this game is going to fall flat.

You are aware it was closed beta right

I have confidence they will. They seem to be taking constructive feedback from the playerbase. This game has lots of potential, and I deeply hate Blizzard so much that I really, really want Stormgate to succeed. Did I mention that I despise Blizzard?

@@user-iu6sd8su3eI agree with you but there are some celestial sound affects that effect me spiritually 😢😂

Imagine going up to a painter and complaining that he used pencil and only has random blotches of paint on the canvas. Why bother criticizing the art when the game isn't even close to done?

​@@Bagginsess ok so if it will be relise in 1 year I will say you're right but it's 1 month to relise right? . And what dev say that they are focusing on esport right now?

?

Back when FGS formed they were the only kid on the block... but now with AoM:R, Battle Aces, Tempest Rising and ZeroSpace looking decent and coming soon, they have to step up their game.
