Civ6 Competition or esport

[STMO]

I would like to see civ6 top players compete, discuss, analyze as if it was a world cup chess game. I am sure we would be many followers!

Civ 6 isn't designed to be a competitive game. Balance, UI, time-scaling, optimization...take your pick. Even something as basic as the barb mechanics makes the notion of a competitive environment somewhat a joke (one person gets barb horsemen inside 10 turns off a scout impossible to see in advance, other one gets almost nothing).

The outcome of a competition would be so noisy you'd need tons of games, each taking unnecessary hours, just to get a picture of who's actually playing better, on average.
