I have been seeing these articles pop up more and more often in business publications, this is just the most recent article about the Red Bull Battlegrounds. Very interesting to watch E-sports grow.

Ironically the Red Bull LAN was powered by the destruction of children.

And by Red Bull.

...cool article.

HAHA wow. This is aweome. Great find and thank you for sharing!

I can't wait till companies start looking at this very seirously, and not only think "how can I cash in on it"... but how can I help it grow, help it expand, and then cash in on it. It's not only a scene but its also got potential. Great to see on a site like that so promptly.

Does forbes have a connection with Day9? They have many articles related to him.

In the respect that they are interested in sick nerd ballers from teh future, yes... but I don't think it is any more than that.

I think it's because they have one main "video game contributer" who is a fan of Day[9]

they are blogs, and the writer gets paid on a per click basis. not surprising he decides to write about gaming which will get him a lot of views on the internet.

There most be someone at forbes with SC2 as their vice.

I'm extremely happy for it. Exposure and top of mind awareness is key.

This is awesome!

Edit: It could be also that in someway forbes has an interest in SC2. Go watch the videos on the site too!
P.S. I'm nub. If you'd like you can follow me @xthurst but its not worth it ill be honest
