The most popular streamers in any game are not necessarily the most talented, but those that are the most entertaining while still being reasonably talented.



In the media industry, it was entertainment the variable that brought the majority of eye balls and popularity.

And I don't understand why people get upset by this.

Twitch, like in any other media, has a wide variety of content: has educational content, has entertainment, has competitive gameplay, etc. Just because some games are competitive doesn't mean you don't have different formats of content around the game.

Entertainment is still the most popular form of content, and that's fine.
