Riot Games CEO Nicolo Laurent say you can't think of esports as marketing. This is interesting to me, prior to hearing someone in such a strong position in gaming/esports say this I would assume most game developers would only use esports as a form of marketing and continued
The Esport aspect is more and more just becoming a natural part of player vs player games, and should be looked as such and not just an asset to create hype around the game... More and more people play the game for the esport not for the fun, it's literally becoming the sport...

Agreed but that same question arises how do they take their game and create profit from competition. It's a hard goal...look at games like OW and Cod who are investing in franchise leagues. Thats a 5-10 year goal at minimum I expect.

That's what my tweet said... Competition focused design choices=longterm enjoyment=longterm success and profit from playerbase, indirectly through competition
