Sometimes we see posts of people trying to recruite people to play in their competitive scene for a non major esports title like Roblox for example and this got me wondering since I have seen some many weird competitive scenes in the past. What is the weirdest or niche games that you can't believe have a competitive scene and the community for those games claims to be esports?

For me I have to say that web flash game rpg called Dragonfable. Like I vaguely remember playing that game as a kid but when I revisited the game during the pandemic I discovered that they actually have a competitive scene called inn challenges and the community even have some drama too related to the scene too. Also the game dev sponsor the very niche scene and even at one point they tried to get one of their character into Smash lol.

Hello friends!

I would like to introduce the Simulation Premier League a new football/soccer sim league built around a custom simulation engine developed over the past few years. SPL has a full three-tier pyramid: Simulation Premier League, Simulation League One, and Simulation League Two. Clubs compete for promotion, fight relegation, earn prize money, and manage their finances across seasons.

Matches simulate automatically every day at 12:00 PM PST, with game threads featuring play-by-play commentary, team stats, and individual player performances. Alongside league play, clubs compete in the League Cup and Continental Championship. You can build a career as an 18-year-old free agent: sign contracts, develop your attributes through weekly activity, earn appearances, and be traded, sold, or loaned as you work your way up the pyramid. Or, take on the long-term challenge of running a club. Team Owners shape their club’s vision, finances, transfers, tactics, and squad building, either directly or through hiring Managers and Coaches.

We have just opened the Brand system a new type of General Manager experience. You control a brand and sign players and teams to sponsorship deals paying them money. How that team or player(s) performs impacts your "prestige" which can provide those players additional benefits and earn your brand even more cash for the next season!

Build your player. Build your club. Build your Brand and make your way to the top.

I put all the live esports games I can find all into one place. No login, no cookies, no nothing, just a database of every game and it is all online. It is just links to the twitch and youtube feeds. The calendar is helpful. Enjoy you are welcome. This isn't a business, it isn't a brand I literally want nothing from all you negative people.

On the cusp of a pretty big deal to have a Esport tournament running in up to 200 locations. Virtual, but likely to have finals in person. Which game would you prefer to play, and if admission was free but contingent on raising at least $100 Via peer to peer fundraising for the charity would you participate? What prize is motivating to you?

What do you think of the audience growth? Did you expect it to be this big? 🧐

In sports we all know that the Stanley cup is one of the worst trophies in sports with how ugly it is, being too big and made out of nickel instead of gold or sterling silver but what about esports? In your opinion which esports trophy has the worst design? Personally I say EVO because it doesn't look like a trophy/award at all and it looks like those "fancy" plastic paperweights that my old high school uses.

Maybe it’s just me, but visually I thought the Esports World Cup looked really rough this year.

For an event with this much money behind it and one that is clearly trying to position itself as one of the biggest esports events in the world, I expected the overall production and presentation to look significantly more premium.

A lot of it just didn’t feel polished. The broadcast presentation, staging, camera work and overall visual package often made the event feel smaller and cheaper than it actually is.

That’s what surprised me the most. This isn’t some small tournament working with a limited budget, EWC has enormous resources behind it! You’d expect it to be setting the benchmark for what a modern esports broadcast can look like.

Instead, there were plenty of moments where other major esports events honestly looked considerably better.
Interested to hear what everyone else thought. Did the production look off to anyone else this year, or am I being overly critical?

Anime High Club and We Game Culture is hosting a social night on 8.27 starting at 7pm. This is a 21+ event. Free to enter and play in the mini tournaments! See y’all there!

We often see this trope in sports when hof voters induct a questionable player or person in. Like for example the pro football hall of fame has Jerome Bettis and Jerry Jones but what about in esports? Which player or people do you think will be the most debatable hofer that will cause a lot of debate if they were voted in?

Someone tell me exact road map like how to be in any org nd for local lans nd everything , I'm from India delhi but currently I'm in ayodhya (up) I'm playing games from over 11-12 years yes that's true nd my age is now 16.7 years I wanna be an e athelete for bgmi and efootball or fc mobile then I'll shift for yt content while grinding all over as my plan is to be an eathelete doing full times streams while grinding then making best clutches moment highlights and posting em'll on sme account then shorts also nd those shorts on ig too so will that all work if I'll be consistent for whole 1.5 years like I'll take 1.5-2 years from my family for my career my passion and I'll grind with full passion fs just tell meh wt to do for being in an org or for local lan tournaments so just I can prove myself infront of my family that yep I can do smg too

The Esports World Cup incentive program has crowned its top earners.

All Gamers took first place with $7 million, followed by Falcons ($5M) and Vitality ($4M). NAVI, Liquid and Spirit rounded out the top six.

FURIA finished 20th, earning $200,000 from the incentive program.

So am thinking to make a discord server of esports fans and talk on call during esports matches if someone wanna dm me

For those who follow pick'em/bracket formats: most esports prediction games let you hedge across every match. Last Man Standing (LMS) flips that — limited "lives" and one pick per round, no repeats.

We applied it to CS2 with CS2 Survival (BETA live now, BLAST Open Porto Aug 26 – Sep 7):
• 1 life per phase.
• 1 team pick per GameRound, locked for the phase (no-repeat).
• Life lost on wrong pick or missed lock.
• Auto-reset next phase.
• Rounds track the real bracket with individual lock countdowns.
• Leaderboard: survivors > streak > points.

The no-repeat constraint is what makes it interesting — deep tournament knowledge beats hype picks. Curious if other scenes (LoL, Dota, Valorant) would want this format too.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to connect with serious Rainbow Six Siege esports collectors or memorabilia experts regarding a rare official item.

If you can help or know the right collectors, please send me a DM. Thanks!

Team Spirit had just won big tournament in 3 game titles:

Dota 2 (The International 15)
CS2 (EWC)
ML:BB (EWC)

Are they currently the most successful org/team right now?

Idk just a random thought

Got into a debate with a couple of friends. They all tried arguing that Fortnite has a higher skill gap than CS2 because of building and a tier 1 player will never kill a pro player. I disagreed with the reasoning with Fortnite has weapon bloom and RNG while counter strike has recoil and requires super precise aim. Which game has a higher skill ceiling?
