Kalle Bowo Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hey folks, do you have experience with the eSports? I am applying for a position as a designer in that scene and I need a quick crash course about that topic. Things that would be interesting to me are: - What are these things: LCS, ECS, OW, 4-pool stand? - Is there something about eSports that connects these games? League of Legends, Counter Strike GO, DOTA 2, Starcraft 2, Call of Duty, Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone and World of Tanks -> If not, but you still know something about one of these games in connection with eSports, feel free to just share your personal experiences and opinions. - Maybe something like a small introduction or resume about that topic in general - Everything else that you find interesting or worth mentioning Thank you very much! cheers, Kalle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fffreak9999 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 1) What are these things: LCS, ECS, OW, 4-pool stand : They are acronyms of the tournaments that are hosted for a particular game. LCS = Legends Championship Series (League of Legends) Wikipedia Info ECS = E-Sports Championship Series (Counter-strike) Mainly they are for high skill players (commonly streamers and other professional teams) who dedicate to a particular game and compete for cash prizes. 2)Is there something about eSports that connects these games? League of Legends, Counter Strike GO, DOTA 2, Starcraft 2, Call of Duty, Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone and World of Tanks. They all have large communities who play these games, and the developers of the games often either endorse Competitive play, or even host the tournaments with the players often being invited from around the world to play. They often involve 2 teams squaring off in PVP combat (notable exception is Hearthstone which is a PVP card game). Many of Blizzard's games are PVP based in nature or allow for a competitive scene. League of Legends, Smite, Counter-strike, DOTA 2 are all popular games, and have pretty high skill requirements to become "pro" and as such the best players are often very well known within the respective gaming communities, and people love to watch them play. Hope this gives a very brief overview to the subject, and is by no means exhaustive but should give you an idea now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
