I'm the opposite. All the focus on the people and the random facts of their lives and trying to constantly manufacture some sort of sob underdog story around various players is boring.

I can appreciate a good game, one that's close and exciting and played with skill, but the whole sports culture and focus often feels like celebrity gossip, but for men.

Which is also why esports are boring to me too, despite my love of video games (and even watching people play video games, like let's plays). Esports just brings that whole sports culture and it's a huge turn off for me.
