I don't understand e-sports teams. They're not representative of a geographical region and a "team" can actually have players on multiple games. It's like if the New York Yankees were just the Yankees and also played football, soccer and basketball. I don't understand the convention for how spectators are intended to root for a team. I get that this thing in regular sports for rooting for the team closes to you is arbitrary, but at least it's clear fun way to be a part of it.

Also in esports a lot of the event hype feels manufactured and forced.

I do like watching esports though, I just think there's so much room for improvement in the whole way the thing is presented.
