Now, it’s understood that the players are young, and very new to this level of fame and fandom, and unlike professional athletes, eSports pros don’t have a team of publicists working to safeguard their image or create barriers between them and the media. This causes all sorts of behavior from the players being interviewed—silly, quirky retorts to otherwise professional questions—to be looked upon from the outside with the stereotypical “video games are child’s play.” This can all change for the better. This can lead to endorsements and more money to invest in new teams, and for regularly scheduled events for us all to look forward to in the pro gaming scene.
The eSports audience is what it is: passionate followers of the types of games they want to see played competitively. The attitude and behavior of pros is easily embraced by fans, it’s the same across the board really—inside jokes, topical humor. It’s not something that will easily be changed, but it’s a necessary change if we do want to witness eSports to become a mainstream staple. As for giving the fans what they want—the pro players absolutely deliver. The level of access they provide to their fans is enough to bring a huge respect to the scene, as well as an unmatched camaraderie those fans get to walk away with.
No estoy de acuerdo. Si lo que quiere es que en lugar de entrevistas como al de Darer diciendo "I'm a tiger" hagan respuestas en plan futbolistas "Va a ser dificil pero vamso a darlo todo", no lo quiero. Me encanta la actitud de los chavales y me parece que su actitud relajada a pesar de jugarse muchos dineros es mucho más madura que la de la mayoría de los deportistas profesionales.
