I ' m reserving judgment for now until I can see what TL and others do with tournaments , but I heard an interesting perspective from MrGameTheory TL ' s Civ 6 leader on the WWG Esports Today show a few weeks back . I ' m paraphrasing from memory , but the gist was that Civ 6 and other strategy games can be the glide path of sorts as gaming and esports fans age . If we envision a world 510 years from now with a more mature esports ecosystem , the 2025 year oldfans of today may no longer have the handeye coordination to be competitive in MOBAFPS games but they can still achieve high levels of play on 4 Xstrategy games . With production values and the right ruleset , it may be competitive and interesting enough to attract those players who still wish to be an esports athlete or just watch a game where they can live vicariously through the athletes .
