Find it a waste of time to be honest. All that time spent playing games when you could be doing something productive... Most big time competitive gamers (most, not all) when you see them talking to people irl at competitions you find have very little to no social skills at all because they've just sat in their rooms all day on their own.

Agreed. Why not just play the game yourself if anything?

I don't try to watch any gaming events, but sometimes I'll watch a few minutes and get roped in to watching more just because I gain interest as I watch. For the most part though, I don't.

Same could be said of sports, yet pro sports is one of the most profitable (if not THE most profitable) aspect of the entertainment industry.

Serious computer gaming competitions ruin the comedic nature that makes watching others play said games entertaining IMO.

dislike watching others play, regardless of skill levels, as most of the time the comentators are annoying.
 
Sometimes I watch gaming on Twitch when I'm really bored, but that's pretty much it.
 
I used to when Halo 2 was popular (a long time ago). I knew I would never be at the skill level as those top players so it was interesting to watch them. It was also pretty useful because I learned strategies I never would have though of (even though I was addicted to the game aha). Personally I have to be addicted to a game and consider myself somewhat adequate at the game to appreciate the skill level of these "competitive gamers".

I've watched competetive minecraft, but majority of the time I don't because the streamers/commentators tend to be annoying, or just have something about them that bugs me.
 
I sometimes watch CSGO competitive matches. Personally I find them fun to watch especially if you have bets placed :p
