eSports is the next big thing. Smart of ESPN to try to cash in.

Hate what they've become personally, but smart.

You remember when everyone was bitching about them showing poker? Oh wait, even video games are more of a sport than poker.

If it were legit fighting games and people talking shite I could get behind this. It's really only running in place of another 30 for 30 rerun anyway.

ESPN showed everything from tiddlywinks to Australian rules football before landing college football in 1984. Just keepin' with their roots, I'd say.

This is far more interesting than mindless talking head drivel or Tebow reports that normally plague the worldwide leader.

Would you rather more spelling bee's?

Old farts and those not tech savvy will complain about this, but gaming is HUGE and will only become more prevalent. There is big money in this.

ESPN started broadcasting poker a long time ago. POKER. It takes about the same level of athleticism to play video games as it does poker.

That was the stupidest shite I have ever seen on ESPN. Makes a spelling bee seem exciting.

yeah I saw some shite with UC Berkley vs Arizona State and I was waiting to see students competing in something. I was confused. Had to turn it after a minute of watching.

That is crap. If they were smart they'd be showing some rugby this time of year. After all the World Cup is in just a few months.

It's like you idiots forget that ENTERTAINMENT is in the name.

That being said, ESports are up and coming. It's a shame that weren't being this closely followed in my heyday (Unreal Tournament/Medal Of Honor Allied Assault) but better late than never.
