likelihood of an e-sports scene?

[Von Wolf]

Title says it all. Do you believe this game will have an E-Sports scene?

[zmanbuilder]

I hope not, e sports kill the fun for casuals, as only the pros get listened to.

[zastcat]

ideally there isn't an esports scene, just about every game that pushes esports ends up in a very bad place outside of the relatively rare breakaway successes

[astgdzfgdsg]

No, nothing of significance.

[The_Dipl0mat]

Veeerrry unlikely

[Silhouette]

Extremely unlikely.

[KnightofRoyalty]

zero and that is a good thing

Trying to appease the E-sport market is what killed the Dawn of War games

[HAPPY]

hope not... last time it killed dawn of war series with attempts to make esport style game....

[~Lazy_Eggs~]

This game? No wai lol ... The game's pvp has to be great to do an E-Sport. The PvP has to be updated regularly as well as the PvE ...

I mean you're talking about big updates that should come within 3 months with daily/weekly minor hotfixes with game changing changes every 6 months, If you miss that mark then you're game is going to go down

There will be a mental gymnastics e-sports scene in the forums when the game launches.

[NEON]

I hope not. E-sports is better suited for games which was created for such purposes.

I highly doubt it. Typically for games to flourish in the esport scene they have to be built from the ground up to be that way. Now is there a chance that the company might attempt to create a stand alone game that uses the PVP in this game as a foundation to create an e-sport game? Well there is always a chance of that.

The opposite is actually true. Most popular and functional esports games were built without esports in mind.
Fighting games(Yes, I am throwing the genre in here, too many), counter strike, dota, starcraft and such were built as good games first with modern iterations adapted esports-esque stuff into the game, after they were already popular.
