@DreadfuryDK Dude, just play your game. Who cares about hype. In the end both games will continue to have an audience.

@JamadaLoL To be fair it’s mostly because it’s possible to resell tickets. That’s not a thing in Europe?

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@doc_respawn Whoever has issues with the hosts should pull their heads out of their asses, because these guys are probably the only ones left discussing the hardest topics in esports in detail. Sure, they are a bit edgy but it’s hard not to be with some of the crap that happened in esports.

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@xDRekt3 @DShyKnock Again, I know what Caedral is supposed to do. Doesn’t mean it’s bringing actual value the same way as it does during original broadcast. Just the fact that he talks over the broadcast that often does sponsors shoutouts says a lot. It’s ok, live in your delusion.

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@VanillanoobTV @MrGMYT It’s like getting mad at a recreational fisherman deciding to use a small net to catch a few more fish at once instead of using a rod. Meanwhile you have commercial fishing boats with nets the size of a football field out there doing the real overfishing. 😂

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@xDRekt3 @DShyKnock The problem is that you made it sounds like it’s some significant hit. It’s not, if you think for a moment and realize that Riot is doing it mostly for skin sales. It would matter if Riot still cared about building a media product, but their decisions show they don’t.

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@xDRekt3 @DShyKnock Again, sponsors mean very little by now. That’s the point. It’s even questionable if sponsors value Caedral’s stream, because of how they are presented on a costream. For Riot it’s fine, because they just want as many eyeballs on their game.

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@xDRekt3 @DShyKnock What sponsors? Every year they have less and less sponsors. If it wasn’t for Worlds, they would probably have even less. You still think like it’s 2020. That part of the business has been in shambles and even at its best time it was nowhere near to supporting everyone involved.

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@xDRekt3 @DShyKnock Also there are a ton of podcasts, like the 4 Horsemen one where they invite esport CEOs like Arnold from GenG, where these things are discussed in detail, and they make it clear that the main revenue driver are not sponsorships, but skin sales that Riot often hides from others.

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@xDRekt3 @DShyKnock Dude, stop being a Riot shill. There are no sources for skin sales because Riot is not going to reveal that, but if you think the main driver for esports from Riot’s perspective is not skin sales then you are just ignorant.

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@xDRekt3 @DShyKnock Again, you are severely overestimating how much those sponsorship deals are worth. As a whole, not just Worlds, those deals are not covering the cost of running all the leagues. They are meaningless compared to what Riot makes. Skin sales are what makes the difference.

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@xDRekt3 @DShyKnock Ahh yes, because Riot had a history of always telling the full truth. The guy you are quoting also conveniently ignores the team side of that equation. Also we know from other sources that these sponsorship deals are not as significant as Riot has made it look. Skins are the key.

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@HavocStrife @DShyKnock Impossible, if you consider that most of his commute is underground where internet access is limited. Also the trains are usually so crowded that it would just feel awkward to talk so much next to others. 😂

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@Cubbyxx Yeah, that’s what I always say too. Costreaming is a nice boost in the short term, but it has also the power to kill any long term success of a media product, because you are giving away any developed brand loyalty to someone who can dip at any moment, leaving you with nothing.

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@xDRekt3 @DShyKnock You are delusional if you think sponsorships are what covers the cost of lol esports. The only reason why lol esports is still a thing is because there are enough whales buying skins.

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@Jazz_BerryJam Because you are providing absurd arguments just to look like you are remotely right.

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@Jazz_BerryJam Meanwhile your solution is “Let’s just use the Cowboys stadium”. In the middle of a NFL season. I won’t even start with the cost subject. Just the fact that you think we could compete with NFL is ridiculous.

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@Jazz_BerryJam Dude, it’s a limited word post. No need to be a smartass. Do you research. It’s one the bigger CLOSED arenas that is also AVAILABLE during November. There aren’t that many like that during this time because all the other games going on.

[Aeutius @aeutius]

@Jazz_BerryJam Dude, use your brain. You are referring to NFL stadiums in the middle of a football season. Barkley is one of the bigger arenas that are realistic to get around this time. Also you are severely underestimating the risk of rain. This isn’t regular sports where they can keep going
