I've watched SC off and on for years. Now with SC2 it's getting pretty crazy popular in the US (at least comparatively).
I can understand people getting a bit ruffled about the term "e-sports", but excepting the (lack of) physical exertion, it's probably the most succinct term to describe what's going on. "Competitive gaming" could be the DDR tourneys I used to run in Lubbock. E-sports is something people watch as entertainment, pulling for players and teams they like. It's something advertisers sponsor, to sell to the audience. It's more than nerds playing for money... it's the crowd dynamic, the whole atmosphere, etc.
Also: I used to play Tekken and 3S sometimes with a guy named Ryan Abella (JRA64 was his tag iirc) in Lubbock. Apparently at the time his Law was one of, if not the, best in the US. I wonder if he still plays... probably! |

Just got home and started watching a bit ago. Saw the end of July v Morrow. Probably going to stay tuned in off and on for most of tonight :D
edit: HAHAHAHAHAHA banelings. Good lord.
