e-mail is better than normal mail, so e-sports are better than normal sports.

During the first Heroes of the Dorm (College Heroes of the Storm), which was televised on ESPN2, one of the announcers said, and this is a real quote, "THAT'S THE KIND OF DRAGON YOU'D SEE ON THE COVER OF SPORTS ILLUSTRATED" not making this up

I hate esports because my baby brother (24, living with my parents, unemployed) drags them up whenever I point out to him that playing videogames eighteen hours a day is a waste of time. No he does not belong to an esports league or participate in any competitions that could lead to him being scouted by one.

esports will be a proper thing later on once there are VR controllers where actual gymnasts and athletes are suspended from the roof of a rubber room by a bungee cord wearing full haptic harnesses.

I do not like when ESPN shows e-sports, it makes me angry. Like, Kotaku doesnt post a bunch of articles about football and baseball and poo poo. Keep your faggy dota playing to twitch or whatever I'd rather watch drat poker than this poo poo lol

lol once VR gets big and they start constructing arenas to play virtual reality call of duty in, everybody will get ripped as gently caress and thus all the nerds will be put rightfully back in their place. dont worry nugs, all will be well

they had a highlight of this on loving sportscenter of all places (is nothing sacred anymore) and I think the funniest part is they dont even use their real names, they all get introduced as their username loving lol. Can you imagine? Like, Kobe walks into a club and everyone is like OOOOH poo poo ITS KOBE BRYANT WHOAA!! one of these guys walks into a comic book store and everyone is like OOOOH SHIIIT ITS XxX~DeMoN_AnGeL~XxX !!!

Can you imagine? I really respect kokg0bbl3rYoloswag's decision to play the long game here, a really measured move that shows that experience and maturity can take the upper hand in this match.

Can you imagine? ya this is one of my favorite parts of esports, even the casters all use fake names. everybody gets to be WHO THEY TRULY ARE. sadly the organizations seem to nix names like cocksucker5000, so it's Flame and twistybox and jjelestar forevermore
