Esports is the benchmark for all things cringe. Makes model train collecting and wrestling seem cool.

First one was utterly brilliant for a small indie game and had some of the most satisfying gunplay I’ve come across.

This new ones got a ton more money pumped into it and is also coming to consoles. To people with no knowledge of the original it will probably just seem like yet another shooter but that’s not really the case... its slow paced, brutally hard and will probably be the most realistic and tactical shooter to have come out for a console.

Really enjoyed the original but hadn’t seen anything of this. Cheers!

Well, 1.4m watched the final alone, sooooooooooo....

But I do get what you mean.

Different at a tournament though, it's an "e-sport" at that point, why watch football then, or any other sport like?

Agreed on the Optic thing, but in general feel really good about them - all of them deserve something, Skadonglers especially. Fantastic CS and for the first time in a while an NA team playing as a team and no PUG-gy crap is great.

Ska finally making it to a major and winning is the second best achievement in his career - just behind dodging the iBuyPower bans.

Looking forward to this roster shuffle, especially now with North blowing it up and seemingly starting again. However, their problem is MSL and they've let everyone good go bar him - Magisk, CajunB and now K0nfig.

Hopefully, OpTic go -Allu and +Someone good, despite seemingly missing out on Godsent's Dennis.

Ok Longers. Get back to us when Train Collecting sells out the Beijing Olympic Stadium.

Wait, so if something is popular it can’t be cringey ? What kind of bizarre logic is that lol

It’s the absolute benchmark for cringe, from the players, to the commentators, to the crowd, to the level of autism in the stream chat.... nothing else compares.

There’s no point trying to deny it, the video evidence is overwhelming. I think even most gamers accept its horrifically cringey, but love it anyway.

So something you don't like is 'benchmark for all things cringe'? What kind of bizarre logic is that lol

I don’t like lots of things, but I don’t find them all cringey.

Esports is without question unbelievably cringey and always has been.

By your own logic Liverpool F.C. and their fans are not cringe because they are popular and sell out stadiums.

May need to explain that one ?

Well, CSGO is over!

Spoiler

Cloud9 WON! First NA team to win a major as well, so happy for Skadoodle, who finally gets something he deserves for being consistently awesome. And happy to see FaZe lose, purely because they're doing a Man City right now FFS!

On to OW - crap that Seagull's team is, well, crap really. But interesting tournament nonetheless lol

No idea what @longers is going on about. All these OW cats are cool kids. No cringe in sight!

Lol at how triggered you get over someone calling esports cringe. Have you been living in a cave your entire life and somehow avoided esports reputation ?

I haven't but it's hardly acceptable to use Autism as a joke.

Save the faux outrage. It’s not mocking autistic people, it’s mocking cretinous potty mouthed children in stream chats who act like they are autistic.

Floor is yours @longers

There are more than a few on here who experience Autism in the real world, so interested in how you feel that reference is even a little bit appropriate.

If you cant see the irony in that, well, feel a bit sorry for you.
