On the whole FGC/esports thing:

I don& #39;t believe the FGC wants to become esports. It wants to take what it can from it, learn, grow, ignore the bad. You know, like a healthy scene should. There& #39;s plenty to discard from esports, but perhaps those deeply ingrained can& #39;t see that.

Esports production is generally bland & sterile, heavily based off American sports production. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth of most of the world, & this goes ignored. The FGC isnt coming from a place where thats acceptable or a choice. Theres a lesson here for esports.

I have seen many FGC experts today saying they& #39;ve never been hired or consulted when esports has tried to do FGC. Is there an assumption that wealth = "right"? Why ignore experts in a field? Why not see if their input might make some interesting possible changes for your field?

There is also nothing wrong in FGC elements going "we& #39;d like access to the money for prod values, prizes and exposure, but losing things like open tournament format will kill us". Implying a false dichotomy between esports and FGC ultimately serves no one and narrows minds.
