Nope that’s ID tech. Easily confused though because of the game Rage. Rage engine was developed from the ground up by Rockstar.

Luckily Counter-Strike doesn't do this shit. The majority of their open ceremonies are walkouts, there is a bit more celebrity status to the cs players since some of them have been in the industry for 10+ years, or are representing a hometown(katowice, antwerp, rio, copenhagen, paris, cologne, ectect). Their b-rolls are just legacy footage of significant moments and the history since cs has about 20 years of esport history on it..No but they play this at the start of every show:
The poor moderators get so overwhelmed during this
Instead we get weird/funny/cringe shit like
Nothing that I can recall, but CS doesn't really get political or put any effort into talking about politics.. the last thing that I recall anything political was basically NAVI, a Ukranian org, said they're cutting all affiliation with Russian tax-paying people.. Russian players still showed up to the Majors and weren't ostracized by any means. Shit, 2022 the Russian player Jame won MvP for IEM Rio.
The average cs pro
jk, only a couple.. rest are skinny or fat; cs players more or less did pioneer the idea of working out makes you a sharper player though.. now every org is putting effort into having a workout routine involved.

Pioneering may have been a poor choice of words, they applied it to what would be dungeon dwelling neckbeardism minimal moving. Esports teams started to incorporate physical trainers, psychologist, and basically various coaches outside of just the game itself.

Seems like the type of thing that would be more of a correlation than causation. Higher testosterone, competitiveness, discipline, and dedication would have a good amount of overlap.
Don't think it would compare with good old fashioned autism, though

100%, more or less just csgo pro were ahead of the curve by a few years, posting videos and promoting others to do the same since roughly 2013-14. A handful of body transformation-type shit. Most were gym rats for themselves rather than for the betterment of the sport, and then somewhere around 2018-2020; orgs started pushing it heavily on their players. I want to say there is some meme or interview regarding Team Liquid for League complaining about workout/diet requirements; not entirely sure of the specifics or if I'm misremembering. But definitely, a correlation, cus mid 20teens is when doctors/specialists started posting about stretches and so on lol. We're about to move into a psychology age, where breaking down player's mental capacity is next.. If you watch anything related to games, they'll start talking about it.. just a couple of days ago was listening to the mental tax of going against someone who is "cheating" and how that effects the overall flow.. then various things regarding smaller details on capability and reaction.
Though, nothing i'm saying adds anything really that isn't said.. I just wanted to post

Wow! No there's some mild fitness enthusiasts, but 99% are fast fooding and swilling soda. Sado was famous for chugging 2 liters of coke during a match.
Spark even have all their members cosplay as catgirls and stuff. How they get away with that in China I have no idea.
I wanted to drop off this clip from Sunday because it shows how formulaic it can get. Identical comps, shields at exactly the same time, Mei walls at exactly the same time, boops at exactly the same time. It's a flowchart:
Stale metas have been such a downer. All during goats especially, the best team at it won, every time, yet the lesser teams would try to mirror and just lose over and over and over. This went on for almost 2 years.
Then on the polar opposite one of Saturday's matches with London vs Sanfran was just nonstop chaos and greatness. Rein is just glorious to watch when played well and it seems like only the Nords / Germanics can really do it.

Yeah, it’s just whoever posted that ran African samurai through AI to make the clickbait better. It was more a joke that AI probably can make assassins creed games now, there are so damn many for ai to scrape.

Wow I called it
BTW, when I was talking about shooties being crap to watch, I was talking Valorant. I want to give CSGO a try. I wasn't sure there were still CSGO pro stuff going on, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was still a larger audience than overwatch league even being so old, with all the mistakes
