I am covering the most prominent eSports tournament of the world as Media Partner to the Organizing committee. It is a great experience as I am meeting experts in this field from all around the world (Norway, USA, IReland, Pulipines, New zealand, Finalnd and France). It is great to see how just the coverage organisms are so diversified and yet sharing the same interest and passion. Almost as if Frontiers never existed, only to delay us from meeting each other and debate on our favorite center of interest. Today I had a very interesting talk with a colleague from GotFrag.com which also used to be a Professional Gamer (or cyberathlete) about his experience in Asia and how he was recognized in the streets of Seoul by fellow gamers who were spectating the event he was participating to. For me this shows that in a very short time, eSports will superseed regular sports, and will forge a place in the Olympic games.
