There is a lot going on to drive the popularity of Esports over in the west. CS:GO, League of Legends and Dota2 are bringing in huge streaming numbers, getting espn coverage and drawing in high profile sponsors. At the end of the day, we as fans, are not here for any of that, we are drawn to these games for other reasons. In his latest Thorin’s Thought video, Thorin himself gets a little overwhelmed with his feeling for the game, showing just why we watch. Exciting plays, amazing comebacks, and other moments draw us in and like in any traditional sport, we are engrossed by these and cannot look away. If you are a competitive fan or just a casual watcher, I suggest you check out Thorin’s raw emotion on the next page, you get to see why this scene is growing fast and the passion behind it. If anybody ever asks why you bother watching Esports, show them this video, and maybe they will understand.
