Chookes 965 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Black Ops III is actually pretty fun to watch competively and this year has the biggest prize pool ever for a COD event, $800,000 for the winners. Starts tomorrow, I'll be rooting for OpTic. If anyone wants to watch then there's more info here: https://www.callofduty.com/uk/en/esports/ Twitch.tv will have up to 4 streams so plenty of action. Enjoy. Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/3841-call-of-duty-world-championship-starts-tomorrow/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGarratt 11,049 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Thanks for sharing Euan. Any other team news that you could share as I personally won't know any of the teams competing?

Chookes 965 Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 It finished and EnvyUs (deservedly) won the $800,000 top prize. Unforuntately, OpTic underperformed but it was a good tournament overall. EU COD teams played really well this week (Splyce and FABe Gaming).

GazzaGarratt 11,049 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I don't see why the main sports channels are snapping up these events yet. It would have quite a lot of views from the couch against the streamers.

The3rdWalker 1,271 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Not a sport is the main reason I would reckon. Spike TV and TBS have broadcasted CS:GO recently in the states, and ESPN 3 has been doing League of Legends. i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/3841-call-of-duty-world-championship-starts-tomorrow/#findComment-83850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno 3,510 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I would assume viewing figures would be way too low and it's not a sport.

Neither is a few things that Sky Sports shows but I think it has got an opportunity it's missing. Watching games is becoming increasingly popular and the prize pots for some tournaments are fantastic. Advertisements would be snapped up in my opinion. People argue Poker, Darts and WWF are sports so I don't see gaming being any different.
