That happens basically to every YouTuber that becomes popular. I had a cycle of liking small YTers then hating me when they became big.
Luckily Danteh quit before he became one of those.

and this is the biggest reason why minecraft will never become a mainstream e-sport, not because it has bugs, young playerbase or toxic community none of that even matters, what matters is how the rest take a look at it and while cs:go was also looked down on as an esport when it was just starting, it wasnt hated by other gamers/people playing other games, it was hated by the mainstream media at that time and the overall "average human" perspective, the average person didnt even know games existed and now they know of minecraft as a 9 year old game, csgo as a game with guns and idk gta as something their teenager spends 10 hours per day on
My point is that other gaming communities don't look at minecraft as an e-sport and thats what hurts it the most, until you can change cs:go, dota 2 and LoL community's perspective of this game I don't see it ever becoming big as those games
Very true, Badlion is a really small community compared to those and changing their perspective would be really hard. Badlion gambled hard with Premium and BAC. I could see Badlion though with a 10-15k playerbase in the next 3 years if Minecraft becomes popular. Extremely unlikely though.

Ping isn't much of a factor in Minecraft compared to other games (CSGO for example) you can still win with 100 ping

Agreed. But that happened to tons of small YTers I liked and I never thought they would be cringey. Seems possible tho a littl

Nice thread Ryan. I think it's a little different for our region and I think it's possible for na and eu to have minecraft as an esport but I can't see it happening for us xD
