Marve Rivals is already a popular pick among Esports players. You can browse several popular Esports players like Shroud and find that Rivals is thriving among such dedicated players. However, since it was only just released a little more than two months ago, this game has yet to reach its true Esports potential.

The big question at this time is, will this NetEase Games production ever compete with the likes of Esports giants like Counter-Strike and Dota 2? While we have to wait for an answer, some signs hint at the possible success of Marvel’s 6v6 hero shooter in the Esports world.

There are many factors that made CS:GO and Dota successful in the world of Esports. More titles like these have become popular among the Esports community, but I only picked these two because the reasons for their growth are pretty similar to the ones we can see in Marvel Rivals already.

First, we can notice that there was a strong community involvement from the players. Although NetEase Games has banned modders, people are still supporting the game by making content off it. Social media is flooded with hilarious clips from the game and some “inside jokes” that only regular players will understand. You will continue finding new tech using existing character abilities that will make you return to the game, which is a healthy sign.

The second thing we can observe is the update schedule. Marvel Rivals is a live-service game, but all the updates and the game itself are free of cost. So, bringing regular updates, events, and balance changes to the game is an impressive job that will enhance the gaming experience even more.

Lastly, we cannot ignore the Tournaments (Marvel Rivals Championship) that Marvel Rivals hosts every season. This championship has some interesting pool prizes for the winners. This can allow the Esports community to accept the game on a much bigger level in the coming months.
