CoD pro Clayster in hot water for mocking mobile esports Tencent \/ eU ClaysterIt looks as though mobile esports still has a ways to go towards gaining legitimacy after eUnited\u2019s James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks made some comments on the scene that drew ire from many in the community. There\u2019s no doubt that mobile esports has been growing substantially over the last couple of years, but the popularity still pales in comparison to that of other esports such as Call of Duty and League of Legends. Clayster took to Twitter to express his opinions on the mobile esports scene in response to an ESPN article about an all women\u2019s mobile esports team. The criticism wasn\u2019t revolved around the gender of the team at all, but rather it was focused on the notion of a whole organization existing just to field a mobile esports team. \u201cA mobile squad? [I don\u2019t care] if you\u2019re male or female that\u2019s hilarious hahahaha,\u201d he said. This drew immediate ire from fans on the social platform, making connections from the criticisms to Clayster\u2019s current position. \u201c[I don\u2019t know] how it\u2019s that funny. There are clash players on teams bigger than the one [you\u2019re] on right now,\u201d a user said. Feel like this is counterproductive to what the article is trying to do? A mobile squad? Idc if you\u2019re male or female that\u2019s hilarious hahahaha https:\/\/t.co\/PuPHCryIJ7 \u2014 eU Clayster (@Clayster) December 7, 2018 Others pointed that Clayster, a member of eUnited\u2019s Call of Duty squad, and his team still \u201cplay on console,\u201d insinuating that it wasn\u2019t much better than mobile gaming. The 26-year-old AR player recognized the early success of mobile gaming but maintained his criticisms at the idea. \u201cAt ESWC there was a huge clash royale tournament,\u201d he said. \u201cI understand it and know there\u2019s a huge scene, I just think it\u2019s hilarious lol.\u201d After drawing tons of unwanted attention, Clayster offered a clarification that served as his final thoughts. \u201cLook, last thing I\u2019ll say on the matter. Games that are made for mobile are fine by me, ports from other platforms are notoriously bad and clunky,\u201d he said. \u201cThe setups at ESWC for CR were ridiculously extra, that\u2019s where I was pointing out I found it funny, not the actual esport itself.\u201d While mobile esports will no doubt continue to grow in the coming weeks and months, it might take some time for others to view the scene in a more serious light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
