[New Scoop] Official 'Genshin Impact Esports' Account Appears: Is TCG Going Pro?

The community is buzzing after a new official account named 'Genshin Impact Esports' quietly surfaced, drawing immediate attention from curious players.

Speculation is rampant that this account will serve as the official hub for 'Genius Invokation TCG' (the in-game card game) tournaments. Players are dreaming big, with some hoping for high-octane speedrun challenges similar to the Japanese scene. Some are even making bold predictions about the prize pool, arguing that if miHoYo wants to make a statement, they’d likely drop millions of RMB, attracting serious players for whom winning is a more reliable income than a lottery ticket.

However, the community sentiment is mixed. Casual players noted, 'As long as they don't force PvP rewards into the main game, it doesn't affect me,' while others expressed skepticism about the long-term viability of card game esports. Some eagle-eyed users also pointed out that the main Genshin Impact account hasn't even followed this new handle yet, questioning the official nature of the organizer.

Regardless, many suggest that even if players aren't die-hard card gamers, it could be a 'fun spectacle.' As one user noted, it's like watching League of Legends esports without actually playing the game—it's uncharted territory for miHoYo, and people are waiting to see if they can actually pull it off.
