Woah woah woah. eSport is the game that is competitive enough to be played at a professional or semi-professional level. It doesn't need media exposure or a stage on a famous championship to be considered a eSport. Fighting games can be considered an eSport since the "existence" of the FGC.

That's not what he's saying. Most FGCers don't consider themselves a part of the eSports movement, and they're using that tournament as an example of why they shouldn't join it. In case you haven't read it, UltraDavid wrote a perfect article on this subject:

Comments like this make me sad. FGC has been "eSport" longer than pretty anything else
I merely used the word eSports in this way, and even put it in quotes, because many of the FGC don't consider themselves to be part of the bigger eSports world.
I think I'd like this game a lot more with some of the bells and whistles cut out; I like SF because it's sort of a slower pace than Tekken, it's about movement as much as hitting the other guy (whereas Tekken is all HIT THE OTHER GUY, FUCKING HIT HIM, LIKE 10 TIMES IN A ROW HIT THAT FUCKER) and thus far I'm not feeling it with this game, seems a bit hectic and seems like there's too much gimmicky stuff in there.

Justin already looks like he's months ahead of everyone else. I think he'll have to pick Kuma just to make this fair.
Yeah there is a lot of stuff coming out quickly for this game. I think that it will be interesting to see how people develop the oki game. Characters with command dashes like Ibuki can really make it hard for roll escapes.
I can see Blanka being a major problem in this game. Lol.

uh, no.
super is 2 bars, tag cancel is one bar.
Fighting game players... analyze frame data, can't do 1st grade math.
lol.
heihachi's overhead cleanly beats everything but lows. Straight up doesn't give a fuck even if there's a foot directly on his face. So crazy. I feel like he can blow up pressure strings even without relying on counters, you'll have to be really paying attention when fighting him up close. His b+lk step kick thing beats all lows too, although I've yet to test if it can beat meaties as well.
That was a really neat punish idea for steve. I wonder how many characters could get similar damage. Although, lol @ using akuma for your combo video, trying to make the damage look like more than it is
I have two tournaments coming up this weekend, quick someone find a gamebreaking glitch pls D:
EPT
