As many of you may or may not know, on Draftkings you can bet money on League of Legends, and so far it’s the only eSport available.
I don’t like MOBAs and would never watch League if I wasn’t betting on it, but for some reason when you have money riding on a game, it makes it 100 times more exciting. I have actually jumped out of my seat cheering for a team I know barely anything about. And it’s taught me alot about a game I would never have an interest in otherwise.
I feel like if it were available I would be much more excited for Halo eSports, have a reason to get to know teams and players, and have more fun watching. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still fun to watch, but wouldn’t it be more fun if you could win money while watching it? I think so.
Scoring would be fairly simple like League. Kills, deaths, assists, objective captures, etc., and since there are no set positions, it can be set up like NASCAR where anyone fits in any slot in your lineup.
Anyone else think this would be cool, or am I going way out on a limb here?
