unpopular esport opinions ?(not skill based)

1 pro players don't need to be role models.
as long as they aren't misogynistic serial killers then idc what they do or say in their free time >.> . I remember when dapr posted one pic of him smoking and ppl were legit mad in the comments, saying ur a bad influence for your followers!!! I'm not gonna smoke just because dapr does😭.

2 I like some parts of kpopfication
the fanart and edits is fine and harmless. waiting for the day I can buy verno photocards.

3 I hate every org, I will never understand ppl that are fans of orgs, what are you a fan of?? orgs keeping players in contract jail,orgs not paying their players?? very weird.

4 I miss when esport was about passion only, ppl playing in a friend's basement and competing for 500 dollars, now players think they deserve 500k a second just for blinking. ofc players in tier 2 deserve stability but they don't need 6 figures for that.

5 I think its weird when fans call players by their government name, you don't know him, he is not your friend. It feels a bit parasocial. They have a "stage name" for a reson. I always go by their game tags unless they don't care.

6 I think a vct level female player is gonna come from premier and not game changers

7 i love when players dont impression farm and just play the game
verno and eeiu come to minds, they never tweet and they dont stream often. the only time verno tweets is when he is posting the score for a match he had. If you know more players like that pls list them. I need more ppl to support.

tell me your unpopular esport opinions :3

agree with most except 7 boobstio added so much to my vct experience last year ngl

for the first 1, every public figure is an influence on their audience so while you might not care (and I don't care either) a kid whos a fan will see the behavior of their favourite pro player and try to copy it. So yeah they don't NEED to be role models, but by the simple fact of them being public figures they will be looked upon by fans. Especially since video games are majority played by younger people.

I disagree with 3. I support teams because of the players on the team (or it's just a home team ex. DSYRE). If a team doesn't do what a good team should, of course I'm not going to support them. But if they're doing everything well, then I don't see an issue.

1. Agree (But if you're at the top/popular I think you should get PR trained)
2. Personally I'm completely against it, it's harmless at first sight but you look in to it and most of these people are borderline parasocial
3. Orgs are business, but I think your opinion is fair enough
4. I agree I think some tier 1 salaries are too high, and it's negatively impacting the rest of the esport
5. Sort of links to my second point, mainly depends on if it's casually or ironically (but even irony too frequently is pushing it)
6. I disagree, whilst I think a female player can come from Premier to challengers I think with the current salaries in GC they would go there instead
7. ehh idk I'm 50/50. On one hand I agree people who don't yap on social media are generally down to earth but on the other hand they're pros and impression farming and interacting is probably a good thing for their image

5. so i can't call him trent anymore? 🤬

1. Agreed, they're not faker they don't need ronaldo level pr training.
2. True, they also generates money
3. No comment.
4. Esports players never go on till their 30s, that sure as hell is anything but stable no matter how much you try to stabilize it, so players would want a 6 figure salaries because they are betting on years of their lives.
5. Agreed
6. Agreed
7. Impression farm and tweet clips earns you recognition and ultimately an opportunity to get recruited, unless you're primmie level player who never posted any clips if you're not doing anything that's you're own fault for having shit marketing.
