This is screenshot of the Na LCS schedule directly from the
NA lolesports website (http://na.lolesports.com/)
showing which teams are playing, and the times that they are playing.
As you can see, the matches are spread throughout the whole
day, so it is easy to see how someone can lose track of time spend the whole
day watching the game. I have been watching these games myself to see it
effects work, and I must say, even I got caught up in watching. On February 15,
2015, I have a screen shot from http://www.twitch.tv
of amount of viewers at one point
watching the championship series. (Number of current viewers is the red symbol on the bottom right)
There are over 200 thousand people watching
this game, and the screenshot was not of a game which included and of the more
popular teams.
This is ok to because it is a weekend and most people have
the day off to do whatever they want, but during the week, Na LCS is
rebroadcasted for people who missed the games. I came into school February 16, 2015
and noticed that there were a bunch of students watching the rebroadcast. This
was surprising to me because this was the week before exams and instead of
studying, students were watching the game. This just shows how esports can be a
distraction, and can cause people to be do less work.
