Nothing screams esports quite like some deflated balloons blowing in the wind and a lone family homesteading on some abandoned bleachers inside a tent. One Twitter conversation about the images, approaching Beckettian levels of eloquent absurdity, went like this:
”This can't be real"
”It could be worse. The mainstage could be shared with Just Dance."
”That is not worse than this."
”Even the balloons look like they don't want to be there."
”Begging for someone to snip them loose."
The contrast was so stark it drew comparisons to the year prior when the Halo Championship was held in Raleigh Studios Hollywood with a prize pool of over $2,500,000.
