@@hooah thats true but it rarely turns out bad, usually worst case scenario is you just trading pawns, which is not the best move in many different positions, and sometims is bad if your pawn was better, but in 99% of the cases it isnt blundering or putting oyu in the losing positions

A large population of 1.4 billion people means even if 0.0001% of people is a grandmaster, that's still ~1,450 grandmasters. But I think the main reason is because India is the birthplace of chess. You guys were playing chess 500 years before the Battle of Hastings.

@ an arcade playing Primal Rage, some stranger came up to me saying "ive been standing here watching you play and beat everyone for 30mins now, i had more fun watching than i would have if i had played random games, here, take all my tokens, you deserve it" and then everyone clapped no rly, this happened guys, GUYS

The last CS major, Paris, had a peak viewership of 1.5 million viewers and an average of 500k, not every tournament gets those numbers but to say tournaments generally struggle to crack 50k viewers is wrong.
It’s not necessarily wrong to say that tournaments generally struggle to crack 50k. There are hundreds if not thousands of tournaments going on throughout the “world of esports” every year. Just because last Worlds peaked at 6.4 million viewers does not mean that the majority of league tournaments will be able to break 50k viewers. Looking at the numbers from Escharts, it’s basically only the 10-15 most popular esports who manage to have at least one tournament breaking 50k average.

Tbf they DO hold tournaments regularly for years in pokemon unite, but maybe that’s organized by tencent rather?
