Also why are they using controllers? ESL does pc games, right?
How does this game even work competitively?

It doesn't.

Isn't it a FPS game?
fps game
with controllers
when you can just KB + M
WHY
Why are they so excited over a game [B]literally[/B] no one cares about?! I mean, not even the devs care about Evolve, they made that quite clear from the start with all the DLC.

ESL do both Console + PC
I'm assuming they're choosing to go with console for this game because...??? i don't know why, maybe it's dead on PC or something
At least whoever wins that cash prize will be able to afford the rest of the Evolve dlc.
This is what it looks like people think pumping money into a game will automatically make it popular.

[quote]The Evolve Proving Grounds tournament came to an end a couple of weeks ago, having delivered us tons of exciting monster-on-hunter action and determined the world’s best Evolve players on Xbox One.
[b]Now it’s time to find the best hunters and monsters among Europe’s PC playerbase.[/b][/quote]
Also, the tournament is Europe-only :v:
>Major League
>"pro gamer" with controllers
man, this must be the first time that Evolve's been relevant since E3 2014
For the first time, a game will be able to have a competitive tournament which contains its entire playerbase

Europe's playerbase is literally a couple hundred people.
>Whole video shows people playing with controllers.

What.
Wait now I just noticed that they also have keyboards and mice on the desks, presumably because the game is actually running on PCs. They can't be fucking serious.

In their defence [i]maybe[/i] we're looking at controller for monsters and KB+M for hunters?
I think more people would care about its competitiveness if it wasn't [B]FUCKING 5v1 HOW IS THIS FUN TO WATCH COMPETITIVELY.[/B]
its not even the fact that its 5v1 its just its insanely poor business model of making you shell out 60$ for the base game and then an extra 20 for dlc to have more tools at your disposal. this is how [i]not[/i] to do an esport; you literally want your competitive game to be as accessible to as many people as possible, idk whose idea it was to make the game basically 80 buckaroos but they deserve to be fired probably -- not a sustainable business model at all, and it shows in their recent numbers
and let's not even talk about the possibility of currency conversion issues making the game + dlc that matters cost more in other countries. absolutely poor
what a farce
