I want to have a bar play the semis finals or maybe even the finals for the LoL World Championship but I don't wanna impose on a bar unless I see enough of a following down to watch.
Anyone here down to watch?
Maybe I’m wrong, but playing esports as a main event would very quickly become that bar’s identity. It would completely change the crowd they draw.
There’s probably money to be made there, but it’d be “that bar I don’t go to”.
Where else can one find the wonderful smells of one of the most toxic communities on the Internet
One of the most toxic communities anywhere, but I think if you make these people interact in real life, a lot of that toxicity goes away. Anonymity really is the worst thing to give a human.
A store that has Magic the Gathering tournaments. Yes they exist in DC and they're fun but also yes people sometimes smell.
That's how I feel about bars that play sports.
That’s fine. They’ve chosen their identity, “sports bar”.
Just saying that “eSports Bar” is a whole new vibe, and I don’t think you can just dip your toe in that pond. No offense to you esports lovers, but if a bar has league of legends playing, they’re communicating very clearly that they’re not the bar for me. Which is fine, but as a result I think management probably has some hesitancy.
Last Call in NoMa plays esports on the tv’s often and would gladly put it on for you I’m sure!
You can reach out to Kingfisher on 14th. I know the bar manager and owner. They would be into supporting LoL if the timing works out.
Probably check it out if easy to get to🤷🏻♂️

That's an option
But still had a few people message me where we could possibly watch it
They used to have watch parties up in Friendship. I can’t remember what bar it was - it was the one next to the hookah bar
Only if Lazlo Holmes is doing the sideline reporting:

I honestly thought that going to watch "the LOL Semis" meant that the Freedom Convoy was back in town.
