In the main article talk section I asked if adding in the external links to SC2 Tournament Wiki and the LOL Tournament wiki would be acceptable, but now that we've pulled the games out into their own article I'm thinking this would be a more ideal place for these links. Having the links would help anyone looking for more information on SC2 or LoL esports scene get that information. Opinions? Olanatan ( talk) 01:42, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
Is this a list or an article? And if it's an article, it currently seems to be at least c-class. It seems to me to be a list, though... Maplestrip ( talk) 08:37, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
In order to up the quality of this list and be sure what games exactly to include, I think it's time to decide on somekind of criteria. How can we decide which games are "notably" eSports? The lead states that these games had an "especially large impact in professional gaming," which is about as vague as it gets.
One of the easier ways to do this is probably simply looking at prize money: only add games with tournaments that have had a prize pool of over X dollars. I don't know what number would be good, and an issue that will arise is when prize pools of all eSports become bigger, resulting in games less notable for their eSports impact to be added as well. We could, of course, raise the number if necessary. Thoughts?
We could simply check tournament sizes. The amount of people watching a tournament of game X could be a great indication of how much a game is thriving as an eSport. This choice only works well on spectator sports, though, which an eSport might not have to be?
Another possibility is being specific what kind of media representation these games have had. We could say specific kinds of sources need to be available, such as at least X articles on this game as an eSport by reliable sources, or X reliable sources referring to the game specifically as an eSport. Some thought would have to go into this, though, it's a difficult one to get right.

As it is being suggested to split the article into subarticles, I would actually approve of this. A List of shooter games popular as eSports and List of MOBA games popular as eSports could really remove the strain on the over-arching article and improve the content of the better-defined, smaller articles. Thoughts? ~ Mable ( chat) 08:01, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

By July 2016, Dota 2 tournaments had awarded roughly $65 million in prize money altogether, with 12 players winning over $1 million each.[77]
is it worth updating this to Dec 2017, prize pool is up to $130 million with 16 players over 1million with winnings over $1million each.
Same reference.

I am researching eSports that are allowable in K-12 public schools in the USA. One issue that has come up is game ratings. Which have a mature rating, which are considered acceptable for teens, etc. I note that this information is not present in this article .. it probably should be included for others also seeking this same info.
I only know of the USA ESRB game ratings scale, but if there are any other international game rating systems, those also can be included. -- DMahalko ( talk) 22:27, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
