Perspective on pinball streaming vs eSports

I’ve played disc golf dozens of times, and had no idea that it was ever filmed, let alone with the production quality in this video.

300k views in just over a month.

I doubt I’d watch a livestream, but this was incredible. I know PAPA has some videos out there just like this, where the commentary is recorded after the fact by the person who played and one other commentator.

But then again, if this disc golf video was 20 minutes of 4 guys playing the same golf hole over and over, I probably wouldn’t watch…which honestly is much closer to what what it’s like watching pinball.

Edit: I just went back and looked at some of the Youtube comments…

“I started off watching this, thinking it’s a parody. Watching 5 minutes later, a second tab open with the rules and wondering about professionals’ salaries…Here I am 20 minutes into the video.”

“no idea what this is, first time watching this, but still finished watching every second of this”

“Wait, so this does actually exist? Like, outside Wii Sports Resort?”

“Never saw or tried this. Looks fun.”

“I feel like I’m watching a cross between the x games and the pga tour”

I feel compelled to point out that the PS3 Move Disc Golf game was absolutely stunning and amazing to play.
