Talk:Hearthstone in esports

Change in scope?
I was wondering why you changed the scope from this article away from professional play in general? I was hoping to be able to expand the streaming section in partiular as it's the primary way in which professional Hearthston players make a living. The streaming and competition scenes also seems strongly related. ~ Mable ( chat ) 09:13, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It was done in order to have the article standardized with other similar ones. Are Twitch streamers considered "professional"? Is anybody who receives any amount of donation for playing a game also considered one? ~ Dissident93  ( talk ) 19:27, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, The Daily Dot seems to say so:
 * The Guardian says something similar:
 * Obviously, tournament play is getting more coverage by news sources, but the streaming is definitely part of the scene. The professional Hearthstone scene seems to have always been a combination of competition and streaming. See what Forbes had to say back in 2013:
 * As you see, Blizzard's very first official tournament featured popular streamers rather than highly ranked players. These are my conclusions from reading the sources, anyway. ~ Mable ( chat ) 20:10, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
 * No comment to that? ~ Mable ( chat ) 12:17, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I see, but this doesn't change the fact that the article should still be known under "competition" rather than play, in my opinion. ~ Dissident93  ( talk ) 17:39, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I suppose it doesn't matter too much. I just hope this can fit under its scope as well. It's a bit weird to ignore. ~ Mable ( chat ) 18:27, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
