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?

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

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.

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.

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
