Usually for anime games, only 1vs1 fighting game have survived in esports area, supported by some organizations such as Evo or ESL, for anime games like BlazBlue  However...



ESL recently started a pro league service for an anime game called Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost ON. It is 2vs2 game having smaller scale than massive combat like 4vs4 SAOFB, and also has less weeb component, which is equivalent to anime otaku component or moe moe kyun component, due too many mechanical involvements. However, the real point here is that anime games other than 1vs1 is finally supported by ESL, which is good improvement.

I wonder how long that game will be going under the service of ESL. More specifically, I wonder how long an anime game that has bigger form than 1vs1 would survive in esports market. In our case, the only reason how we made 4vs4 massive saofb pro league for many years is because lots of people in this community have strong love and passion upon anime games as powerful weebs. But unsure if that weeb strategy applies to ESL
