Kiwi E-sports team receives invite to Nations Cup in Saudi Arabia | Ryan Bridge TODAY
NZ Herald ·
eSports is not a sport, get over it. These geeks getting invited to Saudi is just a PR stunt for their 'Vision 2030' or whatever. 🙄
clearly have no idea what goes into pro gaming. Come back when you've actually tried it.
there is probably a bit more to this than the headline is giving.. The details are where these stories usually change shape.
Actually, eSports requires insane reflexes and strategy, just like traditional sports. Good on the Kiwi team for getting this chance! 🇳🇿
There is a bigger long-term point here than people are giving it credit for. The long game matters more than a quick headline cycle.
Saudi Arabia using sportswashing again. Same old playbook - host events, ignore human rights. Embarrassing that we're sending a team there.

facts. they're literally beheading people still and we pretend it's fine cos they throw money at sports.
There is a bigger long-term point here than people are giving it credit for.. everyone's gonna dogpile the kiwi bit. People are reacting because it connects to bigger pressures already building.
Proud of our boys regardless. Kiwis crushing it on the world stage no matter the game!
yeah but let's not forget they still have some good ppl there. not all black and white.
As someone in the industry, this is massive for NZ eSports. The prize pools over there are life-changing. Anyone saying it's not a sport can get stuffed.
Bit sus that it's in Saudi tho... idk feels off
same vibe. feels icky
omg so cool! i play league and dream of going to something like this. go team nz!!
$100 says they get knocked out in groups. Sitting in a chair all day isn't 'competing' mate.
nah mate they train like athletes. respect the grind.
The real competition is seeing how many times they can press F5 during the finals 😂😂
