The quick fire nature of EVO makes it very fun to watch too.It's a huge win for eSports. Now that it's getting prime time coverage, it can compete with other higher up programs. It's only going to get better from there, and makes me wonder if GT Sport will one day have say Nats Cup or Constructor Cup races live.
Hell I don't even have a console system anymore and my gaming PC gets used for everything but gaming because I spend way too much time watching other people play games on YouTube. Somehow I get more enjoyment out of watching other people play now. Must be getting old.We are reaching a level where it almost becomes nice to watch and follow.

I tuned in to a few matches of Smash Bros because I knew it wouldn't require a lot of time.
When I watch Street Fighter I just get sad because I get reminded how terrible I am though.Smash Bros is actually one of the slower games compared to the rest.
Literally specifies the Iowa race in the title. Literally makes this point in the body of the article:EVO 2017 is to fighting games like the Indy 500 is to Indycar. Clickbaiting much?
EVO 2017 is generally considered to be one of esports’ largest calendar events. Fighting games naturally lend themselves to the format and for years, gamers have tuned in to watch the championships. Its triumph in broadcast figures is impressive but looking at the competition, we must maintain perspective.
IndyCar’s Iowa race is only the 11th in a 17 event calendar. The Verizon IndyCar series is far from reaching a climax and this could explain a discrepancy in figures. The comparison is between the biggest fighting esports final of the year and a middling race in the open-wheeler discipline.

So either, the 'clickbait' didn't work enough and you didn't actually read the article or you don't understand what clickbait actually is.
As stated in the previous post, of course. I'm glad its common knowledge for you. It may not be for everyone else.Fact of the matter is of course it will gain more viewers over the course of a long IndyCar season. Though what he refers to is that EVO is the biggest fighting game spectacle of the year, as compared to an under marketed in the smack dab middle of the schedule race
