I agree the reporting standards for esports at Kotaku are shit. I write for the Smash Bros. Ultimate scene and all Kotaku really does is publish smear peaces. They will occasionally pump out a good article (one done about Zero in ~2017 was pretty good) but on the whole it's usually drama baiting that seeks to make a circus and not lift people up, something the scene needs.

This is my specific experience in the scene, anyway. I've put a lot of time into knowing the international scene, and watching major gaming media outlets publish bits on twitter drama instead of reporting on big underdog runs at tournaments or instead of highlighting unknown talent is pretty sad.

The Ringer is one major outlet that did do a good niche piece on the Smash scene tho
