Saturday marks the "Heroic Four" of Blizzard Entertainment's "Heroes of the Dorm," a 64-team tournament based on Blizzard's popular "Heroes of the Storm" video game.

Why do I have a feeling Blizzard paid for this air time.

i heard before they even fired the video game up, 3 Tenn co-eds were raped, and Butch had everyone, including the camera staff beat up.

I actually did watch some of this just for the entertainment factor. Pretty hilarious to watch the passion of those people.

It lasted exactly 4 seconds on my TV screen.

They just had a video game tournament in Columbus Ohio at Nationwide Arena, home of the Blue Jackets. It was sold out for 3 straight days for $50 a ticket. Arena packed with people just watching others playing a FPS game. The prize for the winning team was 1 Million Dollars. Craziness!

I watched for about 15 minutes and had absolutely no idea what was going on. Also, the commentators were eerily good broadcasters. Does anyone know what they do the other 364 days a year?

on a nightly basis there are multiple people streaming on twitch playing League of Legends and Hearthstone and shite like that with 20k+ people watching just the 1 stream. It's pretty nuts. The big LoL/Dota tournaments get insane streaming numbers...just looked it up, the final match for last year's League world championships pulled 36 million viewers, and hit 14 million people all watching at once.

Call those kids what you want, but kids these days playing esports for teams are making bank.

Turned it on and for some odd reason, kept it on for 2 hours.. Would usually surf during game breaks but it's oddly satisfying to watch if you enjoy strategic game theory.

A lot of these types of games have very talented and professional broadcasting crews.
League of Legends comes to mind.
