[@missylib8682]

It's crazy how a game with simple looking graphics ends up filling stadiums during tournaments. It looks like a game you'd find on mobile, but the visuals from music videos make it look really impressive (those are what peaked my interest to watch this)

[@Sentoki83]

Look at other games/sports lije soccer. Its "simple" to and do the same.. Its a game and humans are gamer/gampler. Always..

[@pjguitar15]

What do you mean simple looking graphics?

[@missylib8682]

@@pjguitar15 the music videos always make the game seem like it'll be a 3d style like Fortnite for example, but it ends up being a confusing top-down look at small figures like you'd see from a cheap phone app.

[@missylib8682]

@@Sentoki83 sports and most games have better visuals when you watch people play them. Actual gameplay of LoL doesn't match the visuals shown in music videos.

[@stainz_4208]

Exactly. You would expect a visually entertaining game like Street Fighter to get this kind of attention. But a Street Fighter world championship tournament won't even fill out a quarter of that stadium. Even that would be a lot.

[@Knurek007]

I love it too, it was fantastic for both - the stream and the people sitting there. Imagine looking live at the 2020 and it's nothing on the stage, just dancers in the background (maybe because of the pandemic they thought it will be without an audience at all).

Playing almost everyday after school and on the weekends, hanging out on Skype/Teamspeak/Discord with friends and random people you met in League. I met my closet friends threw League. We met in a game and after a few weeks of playing we realized we live just one city from each other. I hope League never dies.

It has been over a decade now since the game released in 2009. Thinking about the evolution of all the worlds events and how impressive they have increased in quality each and every single year, while every year filling up stadiums to the brim, with what I am pretty sure of, at least that many people at home cheering for teams and plays, I got emotional while watching this video and throughout could not stop thinking about this one thing: "It's just a game" I know, maybe it's not heard that much anymore, at least I don't, but when I remember that people exist who say that, I wish they would just watch this one single video and realize how big of a part "gaming" or even e-sports in this case is, in today's world. It's not just a game ladies and gentlemen. For some people it's their life, just like you love doing your hobby or job, so do the players love doing what they are doing. Nothing is different from other sports, except them sitting in front of a computer, instead of kicking a ball or throwing a ball. The pressure is still there, the amount of fans watching is just incredibly high. Love to all of the good people out there and if you are having a hard time I wish you very well and the best. ♥

[@halilh.k.5646]

@@morauy3481 Right? In a higher sense, there is no difference between a well known and successfull basketball team and an esports team. The only difference lies in what they do as a sport. Literally. Everything else is the same. Millions of followers watching the games. Immense pressure. High stakes. Trophies. World records. Events.

[@Alonik]

I remember it as if it were yesterday. The year was 2014, I woke up at 4:00 am more or less here in Brazil, power up my pc and opened Twitch to watch the finals, besides reinforcing my love for Imagine Dragons, this final was my favorite of all, even though it was not the most hyped for having different teams in the final, but I remember how pawN and Imp made the game that enchanted my day, even though since today i'm not much of a fan of SSW, I cheered fervently watching every play especially from jayce's pawN.
