Eh, these big tournaments give out MILLIONS in prize money now, plus people get sponsorships, plus top gaming streamers and youtubers can make six figure incomes... it's not unreasonable that a handful of these people use a well known gaming site - even if they don't use the forums themselves.

It ain't the 00s anymore. There a reason why GameFAQs needed to be added to the gamespot domain

Wasn't that done to make gamespot more attractive to advertisers?

It was done to boost both, but if gamfaqs was the bigger draw it would be gamespot.gamefaqs , instead GameFAQs was moved to a subdomain of gamespot to increase its visibility and get it traffic added to gamespot for ad negotiation

GameFAQs had higher traffic, IIRC. Gamespot had the sort of content that would make sense for the main site though.
