I dont think NW or BCoF will ever get a e-Sports following, mainly because they just are not fun to watch. From tournaments to LBs, NW is very slow paced and not really filled with much action. Sure the gameplay is fun and addictive, and thats all well and good, but not even the most addicted of NW addicts watch LBs on a regular basis, and you cant really have an E-Sports without viewers (goodluck getting sponsors if nobody watches u kek). Also the team play in NW is just not near as interesting as it is in other games with E-Sports scenes, as most other competitive games have interesting and unique roles/classes/positions that players fulfill that just makes chatting/watching the game more interesting. For example, its fun comparing teams based on x or y roles like "Oh I think rando scrando is better at x role than scrando rando on y team, but y team has a better z role" but NW does not really have that at all. I doubt BCoF will be any different (if not worse), however I do have hope for Bannerlords as it does not suffer many of these issues as it is fast paced (if it doesnt get bogged down in camping), has intense matches, is fun to watch, and it has unique classes and roles (Archer/Footman/Cav). I could really foresee Dignitas vs. Cloud 9 Bannerlord scrims.
