Why the focus on so much extras and not on the actual game?

Nadeo, as I understand you have some plan to promote Elite better for esport. Do you have plans to do something similar for a 1v1 mode be it Joust or any other? Or do you see SM in esport as only team based game?

Siege players want siege to be esports.
Elite players want Elite to be esports.
How I see it : If Elite is 'so bad' then why has it always been the #1 mode? Royal used to be popular in the beginning and then Elite started thriving. Siege never thrived that much ergo it must not have been a better mode.
Yeah , my arguement is quite simple. I know.
TLDR : The best is always the most popular (Elite)
Also a great idea : If you want Elite players to play Joust/Siege etc. Then make thoses modes 'look like' a training mode for Elite.
In CS ( 5v5 , bomb plant ) I always used to play 1v1 on aim_maps to train my aim or sniper maps to warm up my awp skills.

I like Elite but I think it helped that it was the only mode that Nadeo and Ubi sponsored with $200k in tourneys plus ESWC.quadkillgod wrote:If Elite is 'so bad' then why has it always been the #1 mode?

ok, too many debates here. Like I said, I will probably go debate more on discord for real time discussion since this is too far from this forum purpose.
To give the official view on that from Nadeo
Elite is part of the game design. It's really good for pure skill, and a good place to require solo (attack) or team competencies (would be cool to increase that part) However, there could be many modes in esport and I always supported this idea. We just need a better way to help them grow, and by doing so, help grow Elite as well. We are working on tools to help, like system of events that will be able to relay inside Maniaplanet the events in community calendars and provide an easier way to join for players or spectators. And that's just a step.
The topic of this thread what more about why we open even more to creation while the core modes could be improved. And the answer is similar: we think that the best thing we can do to support the core is to provide opportunities to welcome a great variety of players. And for this, we need more diversity and tools to help make this a strength. And we think we have the solutions for this and I will come back later to discuss them. We have too much work to do before.
Like I said in the other topic, it may take one year, two, three or more. And the most important thing for us is that the place is good for players who like to follow this challenge with us. The ones that would like to make Maniaplanet a success with us, we would like them to see that there are events like this cup & upcoming updates, such as Maniaplanet 4 and after. I said in HP6 that there are major things we still have to announce, including some that will be important for esport. So, 2017 should have updates & announcements that are cool. 2018 as well. etc.
This forum is for the ones that would like to be part of this and concentrate on the positive efforts that we are all doing.
