Esports covered by ESPN

Now they only cover CoD and Halo, but please before you start hating, I highly highly highly recommend listening to the first 5 or so minutes and last 5 minutes of this video ( posted below) and think about what it could do to gaming in general if Esports gets some big sponsors and more coverage by huge sport website like ESPN. Yeah they obviously covered the most "mainstream" games but maybe next time it might Starcraft, LoL/DOTA or WoW.

Oh and the video is highly starcraft influenced invade you don't know husky.

I like the sound of this. With gaming finally taking it's place in the mainstream, this can only be a good thing.

Hopefully it'll also convince the Baby Boomers that gaming isn't just a toy anymore as well, which is also a good thing.

I think when they do SC2 they need to hire SpyStarcraft to cast for them. He's just fantastic.

Or Force. Because he actually knows what he's talking about.
