Teams do the same thing so I think we're just not supposed to care whether it's esports or eSports or whatever.

Yeah everybody does it :/. Even TL writers use different versions.

Personally I think Esports looks like someone made a typo when they tried to write "Exports". A terrible version, that one shouldn't be allowed.

Why no option for ESPORTS?

Not everyone who does it has passion basically, is what it looks like.

Does this mean that the Russian government will start a massive doping program in exports, too?

"Ministry of Sports issued an official directive that E-Sports is now included in the list of officially recognized disciplines." Hence, SC2 is now officially a sport in Russia, right? No need for the term esports in Russia!

if they want to export some doping programs tell them to send it Canada's way for the Summer Olympics... we need it! like everyone's favourite american nascar driver says .. " if u ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin' ". North American sports on every level are more crooked than a barrel of snakes. Its hilarious watching "Dick Pound" point the finger at Russia though.

back directly on topic,
I'm fascinated to see if the new ATVI esports division attempts to pounce on this in some way. Go Bobby Kotick Go!
