It is also on Twitch but it is aimed at people who never heard about it. Since Odee is already there they should really have given him more time, especially in comparison to the other guests.... It is like having Warren Buffet around but asking random strangers what they think about investing.

"Twitch has a chat pannel and viewers can interact with each other and that is really intresting"

well.... we all know how that went.
The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

We had this debate before. Is it a sport is it not a sport and when will it become a sport in mainstream society. For now its not but in a few decades who knows or maybe it will always be known as an e-sport.

I've just watched this and holy shit the guy presenting it couldn't have been more ignorant and patronizing if the producers had asked to be as ignorant and patronizing as he wanted.
What a douche.
