Phone games are esports

>phone games are esports
but Sup Forums told me mobile games aren't real games

I'd think if they wanted to do something like this they should make a big fancy version of the game specifically for tournament play, like Puzzle and Dragons did.

They aren't. These tournaments are sponsored ads and nothing more. How the fuck do you take a microtransactionfest where your strength is based on how much time or money you've sinked into it and make a live tournament out of it?

I'm going to beat the chimp-like Sup Forums/faggots to the punch and point out that yes, that is the Israeli flag. Can't wait for your LE EPIK KEKISTANI jokes, mouthbreathing retards.

And yet again, the first mention of anything Sup Forums related is some faggot who has to bring it up to virtue signal on Sup Forums. Neck yourself

I actually think the game is "balanced" after seeing a "tournament" for it on Twitch (I use the word balanced cautiously because any game that features a "banning system" isn't balanced as evidenced by the need for bans). The game is "balanced" but only if you pay to get maxed out stats. This means that idiots who pay for it can always point to the pros and say "See! It is balanced!".

Pancakes!!!
Jesus Cristh man, go see a good doctor, you need it

Or at least use the tablet version or something.

>any game that features a "banning system" isn't balanced as evidenced by the need for bans).

Bans allow for more diverse strategies, doesn't mean the game is unbalanced just because they have a banning system. Without bans you can't pick anything that has a counter because you will get counter picked.

How can a Jew be good at a p2w game?

Anything can be an esport if you put enough money in it.

Yeah that is what I mean by unbalanced. I think games that allow for a "counterpick" aren't balanced, unless it is a team game like DOTA.
I don't really want to write a whole paragraph so I'm just gonna point this out: Even though there are "counterpicks" in Tekken, there is never a "hard-counter". That is balance for me, if you simply balance it by making it making hard counters bannable, you can avoid some unbalanced situations, but your game itself is not really balanced in its mechanics.

Even worse, it can lead to imbalance if there are too many hardcounters:
Imagine a rock paper scissors game with more options. If both players can now ban one move, the game becomes luck dependant, because both players randomly generate a new game.

>Actually playing on phones
If only there was some kind of console that could play only phone games.

...

No, you got it switched up. Mobile games are real games, but esports are not real sports.

>that star of David

Game is rigged but fun like a slot machine.
Everybody who plays it most likely has multiple victories in a row followed by multiple defeats in a row over and over even in 2v2.
And challenges and tournaments cost money as in old style 80s arcade pay as you play money.

You WILL be given games you can't win.
And you will be handed games you can't lose.
