eSports usually happen to games by accident
Is this WvW, or sPvP, or both?
There’s an old nerd saying.
“A game does not seek Esports, Esports comes to the game.”
The WvW Devs better take note this is happening.
The dedicated WvW guilds want competition, and with the emphasis on siege and zerging in general play they’re not getting it. So they are taking matters into their hands.
GvG’s are a blast for those involved, but they come with a risk. If GvG becomes the dominant play mode then it can totally shut down all spontaneous open world play.
I’ve seen this happen in other games where all pvp becomes prearranged and governed by rituals you have to follow, all enforced by peer pressure. If you attack someone outside of these matches (or attack the wrong enemy guild at the wrong time), then you can actually be ostracized.
And if this happens, it will cause casual QQ.
I thought SC2 was built from ground up to be an Esport?
“We have no first-person view because stupid people would lock into it”
“You can’t have more than 10 HS decks because that would confuse people”
“30 fps is more cinematic”

Set up GvG the sacred rules set apply.
Roaming PvP when the groups meet its a free for all, but you’ll see 1 organized pull off to so the other can kill the adds.
Absolutely beautiful arrangement IMHO

But SC1 which established it as an eSport franchise was not.

sPvP can suck a fat kitten IMHO
