Basically, go through this portal and use the promo code listed to get 50% off of pizza. It is mostly an SC2 thing, but other competitive games are being supported as well.

EG, Team Liquid, and ROOT Gaming, along with OneMoreGame.TV and the Dota 2 League have launched a week-long offer with Papa John's, one of the world's most well-known pizza companies. This is the first time a company like Papa John's is looking into the area of competitive games and teams.

The promotion, which starts today and lasts until May 27th, offers eSports fans in the US 50% off Papa John's pizza, and includes unlockable esports Tiers: crowd-sourced goals, similar to those in Valve's TI Compendium, that can be reached by the community.

Honestly if EG had more time to gel with their new lineup, I think they would have done really well in TI3.

They showed some flashes of team work in the western qualifier I hadn't seen from them in some time.

Their slow starts are really weird though.

lol. The only "sport" where you can literally eat pizza and drink pepsi while you play. At least Papa John's knows its demo. They might as well start sponsoring head shops too.

I love games as much as the next nerd on this board, but I cringe when I hear someone call playing video games a "sport"

I agree it is a terrible name but that is what it is called.

If you ever watched quake or counter-strike back in the day.. I think you'd agree that the level of skill, talent, and dedication required definitely qualify professional gaming as a sport. Ping pong is a sport.. and baseball/golf are not physically demanding either

On a serious note, which of these guys is worth clicking on to order pizza?

Along those lines of logic, I assume you consider Chess, Checkers, Poker, Jeopardy, Trivial Pursuit, Debate Team, Quiz Bowl, Connect 4, Jenga, Jacks, POG, and competitive eating "sports".

All of them require skill, talent and dedication to be very good at them in a competitive environment, but in no way qualifies them as a sport.

I always get a chuckle out of the dorks, who believe it is a sport.

Reminds me of the movie, Kingpin. When Woody Harrelson mentions it feels good to be around such athletes, and guys are obese, putting away pizza, etc.
