Meh. This isn't the first time, these stories pop up sporadically every few month or so in newspapers/tv. I don't think we need mainstream acceptance or anything like that for ESPORTS.
I don't particularly like you.

Nah man, you're wrong. This article automatically puts SC2 into super star status. All players will soon sign multi million dollar contracts and the World Cup is going to replace soccer for SC2.

The CBC here in Canada ran a few news stories about E-sports around the time of TI4. My ears certainly perked up a little bit on my drive to work when I heard them talking about Twitch, Dota 2, and Esports on the radio. The prize money of TI4 alone is enough to grab some attention, but they went in depth to talk about streamers and how you can make a living of playing games or being an "e-sport personality."


Meh. This isn't the first time, these stories pop up sporadically every few month or so in newspapers/tv. I don't think we need mainstream acceptance or anything like that for ESPORTS.


Like Fmod was saying here, this isn't the first time I've seen/heard these types of stories in the main stream media. But they do seem to be appearing more frequently. Certainly doesn't hurt the scene any.
Y'know sometimes people ask me y'know like "What's your religion and stuff?" And I'm like "y' know it's like RTS." Uh, and they're like, "What's that?" And I'm like, "Y'know it's kinda like, kinda like Buddism."

SC1 and SC2 are full of professionals wether anyone writes about it or not. There are thousands of us who believe and live it every day. That being said, exposure is always nice.

I don't think that this article makes eSports professional. The people that work for hours every day to give thousands of people constant content, on the other hand, definitely do. Nevertheless, good article although I think it missed a few important points which have been mostly pointed out in this thread.
