tl;dr I'm not dissing taking a game seriously, I'm dissing the esports culture.

Don't get me wrong, I have zero issue with people taking games seriously. I even stated that tournaments can be fun, and I'm currently playing in tournaments for Heroes of the Storm (ranked top 50 in NA on that game).

If I didn't take the game seriously I wouldn't have gotten anywhere near where I am now on both that game and FFR. The issue I have, as Izzy stated, is that people literally force their seriousness onto other people, even if they are just playing to have fun.

And this kind of behavior happens even in bronze on games, where literally none of the players there have a snowballs chance in hell of making money off the game. So, the problem I have is that people blow esports out of proportion and it ruins the fun for a lot of people.
