    What is gained from this? Are they going to stream the matches and expect us to pay to watch?

    Believe it or not but eSports viewership numbers have trumped those of other finals lately. It's a much larger global audience.

    I weep for the future of our society. Doesn't surprise me though, I have a couple of coworkers who stream Twitch all day long at work.

    I wish i was still like 20. I used to play 2k5 and 2k6 religiously to the point of being ranked in the top 100.

    I'm still the besg amongst my buddies, but i don't have time to play much anymore. Especially the past year.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If Millennials have their way, esports will soon replace real sports. TNT will start showing teams of Koreans playing video basketball and League of Legends, and Charles Barkley will give solemn rants on little Koreans being bigger stars than tall men who can dominate in the paint.

    I sure would love to see some eport groupies. I'm sure the tournaments coincide whenever OMSI's closed or the local Rennaisance Fair gets out.
