As a watcher of a LOT of chess, I would love a classical chess version at Esports world cup. Yes I get that many grandmasters would probably not participate and to fix that I think if you'd allow NM to play in qualifiers that would give variety in the playoffs. What do you think?
Most spectators don't want to watch long form chess; it's a relatively niche viewership.
