Big time! UCF e-sports wins a competition
- Thread starter Knight Strength
- Start date
E-sports you say? An excited preteen boy with his mother’s Victoria Secret catalogue gets more exercise, but sure...sports...
These players really left it all on the field. True champions. Hope they get to rest and enjoy their win.
I'm only ten minutes into it, but the announcers keep calling us "Central".
Since he has said “Count me out” we should make this the new recruiting thread...
This is about as pointless from a sports perspective as our robotics, accounting, cheerleading (yes, I said it), waterskiing and paintball championships.
We have accounting championships?
Also, cheerleading? You don't like cheerleaders? Ok.........
My definition of a “sport”has always been - you have to keep score (no judges), you have to be able to play defense to directly thwart your opponent, and it can’t be an activity that you could successfully engage in while drinking beer.
Combat sports have judges (boxing, mma, kickboxing, muay thai, etc.). I don't know how wrestling works but maybe they have judges there too?
I think Gymnastics is a sport. Even though it’s judged. I hate judges as well. But boxing and UFC use judges. That’s a sport.
It’s an an exhibition. how do you Play defense to win?
I can see the fighting Sport argument. The judging is borderline keeping score because of a defined point system regardless of the human factor. It’s not like diving or gymnastics where someone just throws up 9.2 just cuz.
Agree, although in MMA a lot of times it really is a crapshoot with judges.
They probably have bias involved a lot, but people who judge gymnastics know the proper form and how hard a routine is. They don’t typically throw up a 9.2 just because. They saw a tiny flaw which made it drop from a 10. Or the routine wasn’t overly hard to perform. Gymnasts are athletes. So are the Cheerleaders who do acrobatics and stunts. The men doing the tossing, catching and holding up are strong. The female bases have to be strong. I do hate when judges decide who wins but most of the time they base decision off of their score card. Every once in a while, UFC fights in a state that supplies judges who are not educated in every discipline and it’s a joke who they think won. That’s on the particular states though. I think UFC should have own judges.
My wife is was a gymnast. I have all the respect in the world for those athletes. I’ll never agree it is a “sport” though. That’s not a dis on it. I like jugglers and unicycle riders and high wire acts too.
Finally, a sane person. Happy to see that I am not the only one around these parts.
Imagine spending your free time somewhere that you’re convinced no one else can think like you (even though some have agreed with you) and then going to that place for hours in a day and doing research so that you can show this world of about 50 people that you are a smarter and more informed person than they are.
Also imagine going to that place where you’re not wanted and trying to convince them that they are lucky to have such a person grace them with their presence everyday.
This person is so addicted to proving his greatness that he will stop at no length to a. constantly repeat himself (in case you miss the first 700 posts), b. Threaten to leave but then comes back within 2 hours. c. not respond to intelligent conversation. d. yell at everyone because they’re not calling heup’s phone to tell him how much he’s sucks at life. e. Tell everyone they’re not the boss f. In turn boss everyone around about topics that are allowed and how stupid everyone is for following the sheep.
This is someone’s life. I can’t for the life of me comprehend why someone would choose to live that life? Is UCF and Heupel that important to you that it consumes every waking moment (or sleeping as some posts are at 3am and read like he’s been drinking in most of those posts)?

If UCF is stupid for starting strong in the fastest growing sport (or entertainment if you don’t want to call it a sport) in the world, and we’re considered stupid for buying into this then by all means, call me stupid. I could care less but it’s smart business. The NBA has an e league, MLS has an e league. Colleges could get extra income for this one day.

Honest question... is he autistic or does he have a personality disorder? No sane person would act like this unless they were a troll or had a social issue. If he does I will just ignore him and let him yell at the sky instead of engaging him. Feel bad for the dude if he is normal because he seems pretty miserable tbh.
He is not autistic and I learned about that from another poster as I asked in another way and someone with a family member who is autistic explained that to me. The only info he has shared is that he used to be a UGA fan and is in his early 20’s and that when he moved to Orlando with his family was around the time we started to win. He decided to follow our team at that point.
I would lean towards somewhere on the spectrum. I put him on ignore the second day he was here because I thought he was a troll. He would have given up a long time ago if he was a troll. One person thinks he is Nevelle Clarke’s dad
I see... Well if this is his real personality yeesh. Dont know how this dude is happy in life if he lets someone like Heupel live rent free in his mind. I don't think he's said something complimentary to anyone here without it somehow putting someone else down. If he could say anything positive about the school or a current player maybe more people here would take him seriously.
Whether or not he is Nevelle Clarke's dad is the greatest mystery of this entire forum.
I don't know but that would be so damn funny to me for some reason. Mr Clark just devoting hours a day to raging on this message board.
Wrestling has a referee, but if your tag team partner or manager can distract him for long enough you can hit your opponent with a metal chair.
Ninja signed a 30 million dollar deal with Microsoft to leave Twitch and start streaming games exclusively on Mixer. So yea eSports are becoming very real.
UCF e-sports is North American Champions!
Ah found it some game called "counter strike: Global offensive"
CSGO is one of the top 5 games globally for competitive esports.
If you like that.
Lots of boomers here, most competitive gaming takes a ridiculous amount of hand eye coordination, training and strategy.
