  • Farming Simulator isn't what comes to mind when one thinks about esports. However, while it initially may sound mundane, this game of cultivating and harvest crops actually has developed a competitive scene that can become quite intense once you get into it.
    Competitive Farming Simulator events have quietly existed for several years both online and at various events, but recently its developer Giants Software decided to put support into the community and launch the Farming Simulator League.
    This is the story of Farming Simulator esports. For more info: fsl.giants-sof...

      After watching Akshon Esports videos, i know that Nintendo gave up on the Western competitive scene of ARMS, but i believe it continues to thrive in Japan. Among the three games, I know that Splatoon is the game that Nintendo mostly supports as an esport. But yeah, the devs of this farm sim are willing to make an esport out of their game, while Nintendo refuses to support an actual fighting game with a competitive scene that grew by itself. All they have to do is capitalise on the opportunity and officially support it...

We have lots of simulator games over here, and frankly, most are utter garbage (yes, we have lots of memes on that). But farming simulator is a genuinly well crafted calming "strategy" game. It is honestly not all too different to ur average switch farming game or PC survival on an island.
      You manage resources, strategize investment, build "relationships" (with traders), farm.. duh, and much more. Contrary to the other games where you mostly farm from top down on a small crop field, you manage a realistic farm

It used to be 3v3 with all touch controls but it added a 5v5 mode, virtual joysticks, and PC cross-platform and all players lost interest as it was now practically identical to competitors. VG also did not advertise itself well, leading to competitors drawing in more new players.

They even make balance changes and pretty big overhauls of the core gameplay that make Sonic Riders a genuine one of a kind racing game.
