She has been following the scene from a sociological standpoint for many years now and has released a good number of books on the subjects. She is currently researching the Livestream aspect of gaming and online spectator/viewership. | ||

It's catered towards people who might never have encountered the term "esports". Putting both of them in the title exposes them to the term while explaining it at the same time. | ||

Basically US network that does a lot of coverage on news, current events, education, etc. Not surprised at all that they'd run an e-sports video on air (but at time same time I doubt that it actually has been on air). Not a bad network imo, but certainly there's better. | ||

Putting both of them in the title exposes them to the term while explaining it at the same time. I understood that. I still find it redundant and I never liked the term in the first place especially when you look at the communities under a microscope.

Also, great video. It's the video the community deserved. Leagues better than stuff put out by CNN. Only thing that caught my eye as out of place was when the video is talking about female players struggling, there is a clip of a Sc2 fan holding a sign saying "Deezer you suck". For someone who doesn't know better, this could leave the wrong impression. | ||

I could imagine them atleast testing it in a couple markets. It would be a hell of a lot better than those programs they run about "brain health" and "personal happiness." | ||
