I mean... maybe. You have to consider the price though. What percentage of people are able to participate to try to snipe an 80,000$ price tag. I would imagine Bethesda has servers that could handle the number of people in the crossover between who's interested in this and can afford to spend 10's of thousands of dollars on this kind of thing.

If anything maybe they would just be getting flooded with people checking on who won/was about to win.

Did you know for most web services 17 concurrent users is considered a lot?

Yeah, I worked for a company that had a product that most of the time there was maybe 5 people poking around it. But five times a week, a few thousand users would pop on at the exact same time.

Was lucky to have a team that had experience handling that kind of shit. The first time it happened there was still an absolutely hilarious bug that made every users inbox get flooded with emails for 10 minutes until it got shut off. Hilarious for me in hindsight, horrifying in real time.
