With two huge eSports events happening this weekend: EVO 2011 and MLG Anaheim (both of which are being live streamed on G4TV.com) we wanted to get together with some of the major representatives from the eSports community and have a Talkabout on the state of competitive gaming right now. On the panel we had Sundance DiGiovanni, CEO and Co-Founder of Major League Gaming, JP McDaniel, a professional StarCraft 2 commentator, and Tom "Tsquared" Taylor, a professional Halo: Reach player. Our two main topics focus on the growth of competitive gaming and why a few games in particular make for great eSports. ~ Leah Jackson - Games Editor - G4TV.com
I found a really good conversation on the growth of competitive gaming. Right now its very big today. It's spilled from the PC gamer world to the home console world and it keeps getting bigger. Who ever thought that playing videogames against someone else would be a competitive sport? Who ever thought that you could possibly become a professional gamer? Who ever thought that MLG, Major League Gaming, would be one of many huge gaming venue's for esports or competitive gaming? Well somebody thought these things and that's why the competitive gaming community is so big today. There are so many tournaments for all kinds of games and anyone can turn into a professional gamer at the press of a game pad button. Watch as this panel talks about esports, competitive gaming, its growth, and where its going.
