I was lucky enough to attend WCS 2014 @blizzcon and let me tell you, it really exceeded my expectations. + Show Spoiler + Direct YouTube I think the video is high quality, and was quite impressed that it didn't seem too condescending. The production value of these sort of news briefs on TV always seems to exceed anything you can find made for the internet. | ||

It's funny, some days ago there was a dota 2 feature on canadian TV that was also very well done. I say it's funny, because I'm used to french television, when nothing is ever well done. When you see a feature on french TV about a thing you know very well, you understand that it's always bullshit. Then I see all these reports made by foreign countries which are informative and basically tells the reality of things, and I'm astonished. In France, basically the same reports would be 99% lies and garbage...I'm glad journalism still exists in other countries. | ||

Yeah, the format is good. You get an older guy, who doesn't really understand it, so it's natural that he is asking a lot of questions. This gives the unoriented viewer a bit of a guide to the story ... and then the punctuate it with the pure viewer numbers and the amount of money (for twitch) and you can't really argue how big it is. I like how they talked to plenty of female fans and not just fat guys with cans of soda pop. Whew. | ||

Good thing they didn't pick up on certain incidents like Gamergate and Kas' miscommunications :-) I just don't even dare to imagine how the world will be in five years, when the first 'esports generation' starts becoming important in corporate life  | ||

And it would mostly be made out "facts", or very distorted at least. | ||

But overall a really well down segment. I can tell the reporter was really passionate about his job. | ||

You forget the subtitles (or worse, voice overs) for casters/players/whatever that would have barely any relevance to what's actually said | ||

"Is there a time that we'll look at e-sports perhaps like nascar." I sincerely hope that will never happen. "He microes left, and left, and left...." Jokes aside, this is a great sign. If the target interest group in an e-sports piece is morning television, we're pretty much in mainstream culture already. | ||
