Fall Guys eSports

no, but you might be crazy for other reasons. you may want to get checked out.
I'd like competitions for the game but I wouldn't want to hear about Fall Guys eSports or the Fall Guys meta or Fall Guys-only twitch streamers raging over minute details in one of the most enjoyable, goofy-ass games I've ever played. But it's popular as hell. So it'll probably go the eSports route. I just hope it doesn't forget about the casual fun that's to be had.

Add in ranked matchmaking with a modified playlist made up of only "competitively" viable stages and I can see it.
I don't think it really works on an esports kind of level because of how random and chaotic it is. Certainly room for events and streams, but I can't see huge prize pools being thrown around for a game like this.
It would be fun if they implemented the ability to choose all 60 people to queue up with, and get somebody who is funny to commentate. Then it would be just like watching Wipeout. But I doubt it will ever be a serious esport.
Fall Guys is one of the first games ever I've enjoyed watching people stream.

I literally just got this as a Twitter ad so you tell me
I don't think Fall Guys has the long-term sticking power to draw in a legitimate esports crowd or money.
This is not a competitive esport no lol. That's like saying "is snakes and ladders the next chess?"
It's a fun game and I'm sure there will be showmatches.

I don't really see how it's built for eSports at all. There's no different modes, no ranked, no custom games, spectating is extremely limited, it's a party game with a lot of random elements, etc..
There will definitely be some tournaments and events on twitch (like that Twitch Rivals thing oosted above), but not serious competition that'd you get from your mobas, rts, fps, etc.
in a game where they demand you play on teams with randoms? hell no.
if they have a mode where every level is solo, then maybe.

People say its random, but its really not. Most rounds play out the exact same way, there's already different tacticts for both solo and team games. If they split up games to Solo only or Team only I could definitely see it becoming a bigger competetive thing
Yes because the most basic underlying concept of every successfull esport title is to have as less random factors as possible.
Also it's not spelled eSports.
Love the game but other than doing a silly tournament for fun, it doesn't really have eSports potential IMO. There's not a whole lot of skill involved in the game other than maybe Hex-a-gone, and the team games can ruin a good run. Sure, there are tactics involved for some of the minigames, but it's nothing complex enough to justify making it an eSport.
Yep. Same here. The physics are purposely goofy, which means it is hard to get better.
