Now, I must admit, my friends and I would laugh hysterically whenever we'd talk about or watch a match of professional gaming. Games taken seriously as sport was so new, awkward and so nerdy, that it was always a reliable source for rich comedy. But that was then. To be clear though, I still think eSports is -and will continue to be- an incredibly nerdy pursuit, but I've noticed a growing following toward this niche past time. Up until a year ago, I'd chuckle at the thought of a large-scale professional gaming league. Recently however, I find myself subscribed to popular Starcraft 2 commentators like HuskyStarcraft and TotalBiscuit on YouTube. I'm totally fascinated and engrossed in professional Starcraft 2 right now. I don't think I'm the only one noticing eSports as legitimate entertainment either.
